Let’s Get Dirty: Host a DIY Plant Potting Party

Bring the spring-time fun by hosting a neighborhood plant potting party. This unique party idea will make you the fun house on the block and the neighbors everyone is happy to have. Que the banana bread showing up on your doorstep!

A plant potting party can be as swanky or as “dirty” as you make it! Encourage your neighbors to bring their own plants and extra pots or planters to swap and trade amongst the party. It will be a favor to everyone to save on expensive gardening and plant costs, while getting to spend time with everyone outside in the spring weather. 

This party is the perfect spring and summer kick off that can be hosted as an affordable, outdoor and sustainable get-together. 

What you need:

• -Potting Soil

• -Plants that need some new “digs” lol

• -Any planters and pots you have 

• -Gloves, hand cultivators and trowels

• -Watering cans

• -Optionally, decorative elements like moss and stones!

Let's Get Potting!

• Setting Up the Space: Create a designated potting area, arrange the plants and supplies, and have a clean-up station ready.

• The Potting Process: Provide a step-by-step guide on how to pot a plant, with clear instructions.

• Decorating Time: Encourage guests to personalize their creations with decorative touches.

Post Potting Party

Keep the party going by inviting the neighbors for after planting festivities like pizza, patio drinks or even sparklers and ice cream. Sending everyone home with their fill of fun and summer DIY projects. If you have leftover soil or materials, offer them to the guests to help with maintenance and upkeep of their newly potted plants.

For a fun party this summer, gather your succulents and seeds and get to digging! This will be a memorial backyard party that is sure to impress and entertain.
