Hands & Earth Workshop Series – Moon Garden

About This Event

Discover the Magic of Moon Gardens in Charlotte

Imagine stepping into a serene workshop where you transform upcycled materials into a glowing nighttime oasis. The Hands & Earth Workshop Series – Moon Garden is exactly that—a creative, drop-in event where participants plant seeds in brewery grain bags from Free Range Brewery, filled with soil, to create potted moon gardens. These gardens feature night-blooming flowers that release fragrant scents under the moonlight, attracting nocturnal pollinators like moths and bats while supporting local ecosystems.

Activities are simple yet rewarding: arrive anytime between 1pm and 3pm, grab your supplies (all included), and get planting. It’s an ideal family-friendly event in Charlotte, fostering mindfulness and environmental awareness. Attendees leave with a portable garden that thrives on a windowsill or patio, offering a peaceful retreat after dark. Benefits extend beyond fun—participating reduces waste by reusing brewery byproducts and educates on sustainable practices, aligning with Charlotte’s push toward a circular economy.

The venue, Innovation Barn at 932 Seigle Avenue, is Envision Charlotte’s flagship hub for turning waste into opportunity. This open, collaborative space hosts education, events, and innovation, with public hours Tuesday-Friday 10am-4pm and Saturdays 11am-4pm. Its location in Charlotte’s vibrant NoDa-adjacent neighborhood makes it a cornerstone for events in Charlotte focused on sustainability.

This workshop is part of the broader Hands & Earth Workshop Series, including Art in the Garden (May 16), Encouragement Rocks (July 25), and From the Garden to Art (October 24)—all drop-in sessions at the same spot.
