Hypertufa is popular for making garden ornaments and planting containers because it is much lighter weight compared to concrete, but still offers the rustic and natural look of stone. All of the necessary supplies for making the planter, with the exception of the planters molds, will be provided and our Conservation Staff will lead you through the steps of making your planter.
