Bedford Branch

Meeting Room (84)

Learn to make a hypertufa garden pot. In this program, you’ll see a live demonstration of the hypertufa mixing process, then use the mixture to create a pot for your home garden.

Hypertufa is a building material that has been popular with hobby gardeners since its creation in the 1930s. It is made from a mixture of peat moss, perlite, Portland cement and water. It can be formed and shaped to create pots, planters and statuary for gardens. 

In this program, you’ll see a live demonstration of the hypertufa mixing process, then use the mixture to create a pot for your home garden.

About the branch

The Bedford Branch (formerly known as the Southeast Branch) became the fourth branch to join Cuyahoga County Public Library in 1924. A groundbreaking for the current 14,617-square-foot building took place in 1990 and the building was formally dedicated a year later.

This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
