Ken’s Gardens hosts resurrection garden planter workshop; more Easter events planned [photos] | Home & Garden

Planters can have more than just visual appeal; they can also carry great meaning.

Consider a resurrection garden, which has gardeners create a “tomb,” or clay pot, and a rock representing the stone placed in front of Jesus’ tomb, in a garden planter.

Ken’s Gardens hosted a resurrection garden workshop March 21 at its Intercourse location. Participants used lush plants and natural materials to create the resurrection gardens, which symbolize new life and renewal. See photos from the workshop below. (Story continues after slideshow.)
