Event Overview

Did you ever feel lonely and realize you need a plant-filled miniature world in your life? If you did, creating your very own live succulent or moss terrarium in hand blown beautiful glass is definitely for you. Imagine this- You- enjoying Whole Foods' lovely ambiance in their fabulous cooking classroom, sipping a refreshing beverage, nibbling on a "whole food", all while creating your own adorable terrarium.
From succulents to moss, miniature embellishments and figurines, you can construct an artistically sweet garden of goodness in a beautiful glass vessel.
Class will include an introduction and educational tid-bits covering the "how to's" for making a healthy terrarium; decision making techniques on what types of plants to use; and the "what next" to keep your terrarium living a long and prosperous life! Even if you lack a green thumb, there are lots of easy to care for plant and preserved options you can use in your creative endeavor. Class will include a glass vessel, choice of plants, miniature accouterments and embellishments that allow your creative juices to shine, and all other components your terrarium needs to be a sustainable healthy little ecosystem.
Come create a terrarium and not only will you leave with the ability to create living art work, but you'll make new plant friends that undoubtedly brighten up any space they inhabit! Join in for some fun-filled DIY terrarium craft! Bar is open-before, during and after class!

    This class was great! Tera was fun and informative; she brought lots of supplies to help us creatively customize our own terrariums. I really enjoyed designing mine and found the experience quite therapeutic. I will definitely be building more of my own in the future!

    For my first Dabble class and Terrarium class, this was a great experience. The location was very conducive to the group we had and Tera was helpful in walking around to make sure the group felt like they were learning/making the best choices. I learned a lot about the materials that go into the piece of work and how to care for my new terrarium. I will definitely recommend this class to others. It would be a great class for a bachelorette or birthday party.

    This class was seriously awesome. There was a great variety of plants, neat containers and a ton of different options for decorating the terrariums. I love mine so much I almost want to sign up again and build a second one!
