Hammer & Stain Mt Juliet
3544 N Mount Juliet Road, Mt Juliet

Step into a little woodland wonder and create your very own hanging mushroom planter — the cutest, quirkiest addition your home or garden didn’t know it needed.

You’ll paint a charming ceramic mushroom planter using vibrant acrylics, letting your creativity run wild with color, pattern, and personality. Because you will use acrylics, you’ll take your finished piece home the very same night — no waiting, just instant mushroom magic.

Once painted, choose how your creation comes to life: fill it with the included artificial greenery,  plant something real once you get home, or even turn it into a tiny birdhouse for your backyard friends.

Whether you’re a fairy‑garden fanatic, a plant lover, or just someone who loves a good crafty night out, this workshop is pure joy from start to finish.

Register here.
