Friendsgiving Plant & Sip: Succulent Terrarium Workshop | Bard & Baker, Troy NY
Gather your people and build an 7" lily bowl full of succulents, warm autumn tones, and harvest details. Two hours in Troy's board game café, everything provided, and it comes home with you the same day.
What you'll build
Grab a table with your people, put your hands in the dirt, and spend a Sunday afternoon making something together. Nobody's rushing you, nobody's grading you, and there's a thousand board games on the shelves for after.
You'll build a succulent terrarium in a 7" glass lily bowl. Wide and open with a flared rim, so it sits low on a table and everything inside is visible from every seat around it. Fill it with succulents in warm autumn tones, greens and rusts and deep burgundies, then moss, stone, and harvest details.
This is the one that ends up in the middle of your Friendsgiving table. No two leave the same.
Your seat includes
