Simple from start to finish

We handle everything. You just show up, enjoy your people, and build something beautiful.

2
Send us your details
Let us know your date, location, guest count, and which workshop you're interested in. We serve Hampton Roads, VA and the Upstate New York area. Minimum 10 guests.

We'll reach out to confirm availability, walk you through the details, and make sure everything is set up for your group's specific needs. We're flexible and easy to work with — promise.

We show up, you enjoy
We bring all the supplies, set up the workspace, and lead your group through the full workshop experience. You host, we handle the rest. Each guest leaves with a terrarium they built themselves.
Choose Your Workshop

Pick the one that fits your crew

Each workshop is a full guided experience. Your guests learn the why behind every layer, build their own terrarium from scratch, and take it home at the end of the night.

🌵
Succulent Terrarium
Most popular
Build a beautiful open succulent terrarium in a 6" bubble bowl. Guests choose their plants and style their own little landscape with moss, pebbles, and a figurine. Low maintenance and long-lasting — perfect for any skill level.
Open containerBeginner friendlyLow maintenance~45–60 min
🌿
Closed Tropical Terrarium
Fan favorite
Build a sealed ecosystem with tropical plants and living moss. Guests learn how the water cycle works inside a closed jar and build a self-sustaining miniature rainforest. Educational, calming, and genuinely wow-worthy.
Sealed containerGuided layersNear zero maintenance~60–75 min
🍃
Open Moss Garden
Zen vibes
Create a living moss landscape in an open glass container using forest moss, cushion moss, and preserved reindeer moss. A slower, more meditative build — beautiful results and incredibly satisfying to make.
Open containerMeditative buildWeekly misting~45–60 min
🌱
Tropical Planted Terrarium
Lush & layered
Build a full layered open terrarium with tropical plants and living moss as ground cover. The most visually dramatic of our workshops — guests go home with a lush, planted landscape that looks like it belongs in a greenhouse.
Open containerFull layer systemWeekly care~60–75 min
💡 Not sure which workshop to pick? The succulent terrarium is our most popular for parties — it's beginner friendly, visually stunning, and the lowest maintenance to take home. The closed tropical is the most educational and always gets the most "wow" reactions.

Good to Know

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you book.

What's the minimum guest count?
We require a minimum of 10 guests for private party bookings. There's no set maximum — reach out and we'll let you know what we can accommodate for your group size.
Do guests need any experience?
None at all. Our workshops are designed for complete beginners. We guide everyone step by step, explain the why behind each layer, and make sure no one feels lost. All skill levels are welcome — that's the whole point.
How much space do you need?
Each guest needs a workspace roughly the size of a standard placemat — about 12" x 18". A dining table, folding tables, or a long countertop all work great. We'll let you know the exact setup requirements when we confirm your booking.
Can we add food and drinks?
Absolutely — and we encourage it! Our workshops pair beautifully with wine, charcuterie, cocktails, and all your favorite party food. You handle the catering, we handle the plants. It's a perfect combo.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend reaching out at least 2–3 weeks in advance to ensure availability. For weekend dates and holiday seasons, earlier is always better. We do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible.
What if I can't decide on a workshop?
Just ask! When you reach out, tell us a little about your group — the vibe, the occasion, how plant-savvy your guests are — and we'll recommend the perfect workshop for you. The succulent terrarium is our most popular choice for a reason.
