Looking for a creative, low-stress activity that brings a little life (literally!) into your space? Say hello to the perfect afternoon: a Flower Pot Painting & Planting Party — made easy with beautiful houseplants from Richfield Farms!

Whether you’re hosting a cozy get-together with friends, planning a weekend craft with the kids, or just want to treat yourself to a peaceful plant moment, this DIY is full of color, charm, and leafy goodness.

Step 1: Pick Your Pots

Start with basic terra cotta pots (available in-store!) or repurpose old ceramic containers. Grab some acrylic paints, brushes, and a few waterproof markers — then let the creativity flow!

Theme ideas:

  • Whimsical mushrooms, moons & stars

  • Monograms or custom plant names

  • Cottagecore florals or boho patterns

  • Kids’ favorite animals or characters

Seal your masterpiece with a clear, waterproof spray once dry.

Step 2: Choose Your Perfect Plant Partner

Once your pot is ready, it’s time for the star of the show — the plant! We have a gorgeous variety of easy-care houseplants that are perfect for this project:

Customer Favorites at Richfield Farms:

  • Pothos: Trailing and vibrant, with heart-shaped leaves. Great for beginners.

  • Rubber Trees: Bold, structured, and super low-maintenance.

  • Hoyas: Quirky vines with waxy leaves and a sweet scent when they bloom.

  • Snake Plants: Practically indestructible and striking in any pot.

  • Peperomias: Compact and colorful, ideal for tabletops or small spaces.

Ask our team for tips on choosing the right plant based on lighting and lifestyle!

Step 3: Pot It Up

Use a lightweight potting mix with good drainage. Add a few stones or moss to the base if your pot doesn’t have a hole. Gently transfer your plant, water it in, and admire your living art!

Bonus: Make It a Party

Serve up some iced tea, fresh snacks (maybe even some of our local produce!), and invite friends or family to join in the fun. Everyone goes home with their own custom plant baby — talk about party favors with personality.
