Private Parties · 2026

A party they can take home.

Birthdays, showers, bachelorettes and every excuse in between — celebrated around a table of plants.

Your guests each build a living terrarium with an instructor guiding the way. The party ends, the terrarium keeps growing on a windowsill, and every time someone waters it they remember the day.

Why a terrarium

Something to keep from the day.

Photos end up in a camera roll and favors end up in a drawer. A terrarium sits on a shelf and keeps living — a small, green reminder of who was there and what you were celebrating.

Build
