Connecting with nature and your community
Our terrarium workshops are designed to nurture your mind and uplift your mood. There’s something deeply soothing about working with soil, moss, and plants. It’s a natural remedy for stress and anxiety.
These classes also provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with others in your community. We’ve witnessed countless friendships take root and thrive in this creative, welcoming space.
