Want to add some greenery to your life but don’t have room for a garden? Try making your very own terrarium, a self-contained planter filled with mosses, ferns and other plants that acts like a living, growing art piece.

Terrariums are low maintenance, customizable, and a great way to keep plants indoors without making a mess or taking up too much space.

In this class, participants will learn how to properly construct and maintain a terrarium and add artistic elements, like colored glass, minerals, and even miniature animals and figurines, to create a one-of-a-kind piece.

All containers, rocks, soil, plants and decorations will be provided, though feel free to bring your own decorations if you wish. Casual attire that can get a little dirty is recommended.

NOTE: If you have a container of your own you would like to use, please be sure it is large (over 6″ tall), clean, made of clear glass (not frosted or colored), and has a lid or small/constricted opening (the plants in this class need to be in a humid environment).
