Hypertufa are hand-cast, carved, and cured planters designed and made to resemble stone troughs. Originally created for alpine plants, hypertufa troughs are perfect for dwarf conifers, hardy succulents and sempervivums. True North Hypertufa are made in Minnesota by Tricia Rubenstein and Sara Anderson who mix, cast and carve each vessel by hand. While they resemble stone, the hypertufas are durable, lightweight and able to withstand our harsh and variable winter weather. 

During the workshop, Tricia and Sara will educate participants about alpine plants and guide the process of planting a hypertufa. Guests will select their own unique hypertufa, three hardy plants, and assemble a planting with Tricia and Sara's expert guidance.
