Wine Bottle Succulent Workshop
May 29 - Merchants Square Wine Bar
Wine Bottle Succulent Workshop
May 29 - Merchants Square Wine Bar

Transform a reclaimed wine bottle into a living sculptural piece rooted in both plant science and creative design.


In this hands-on workshop, participants will create a one-of-a-kind succulent arrangement nestled into a thoughtfully prepared wine bottle vessel. Led by Melissa Tebbenhoff of Rusted Rabbitt Living Designs, this experience blends botanical education with artistic process, offering insight into how succulents grow, adapt, and thrive in unconventional yet intentional environments.


As both a succulent grower and living design artist, Melissa guides participants through plant selection, balance, and composition while sharing practical growing knowledge that supports long-term plant health. Each arrangement is built using a special plant-friendly adhesive, allowing the succulents to establish gently while remaining adaptable for future replanting.


This workshop is more art-forward in nature while still grounded in horticultural understanding, making it approachable for beginners and enriching for seasoned plant lovers. The result is a sculptural, living piece that continues to evolve long after the class concludes.


Workshop Includes:

– Prepared wine bottle vessel

– Assortment of homegrown succulents

– Preserved moss

– Plant-safe adhesive

– Natural botanical accents

– Care instructions and ongoing guidance


When the arrangement outgrows its vessel, participants will learn how to transition their succulents into future living designs—extending the life of the piece beyond the workshop.
