The Planter Workshop
Plant & Sip at The Pinner House | Closed Terrarium Workshop, Suffolk VA
Step into one of Suffolk's true hidden gems for an afternoon of plants, sips, and stillness. Join The Planter for a Closed Terrarium Plant & Sip at The Pinner House, a historic boutique bed & breakfast tucked in Downtown Suffolk with the charm of an Italian villa.
You'll build your own self-sustaining closed terrarium — a tiny, thriving ecosystem you take home and barely have to think about again. We'll guide you through layering, planting, and styling your glass world while you sip something delicious and soak in the beauty of the property.
Come early or stay after to explore Café Dâvina and the on-site boutique shop — there's plenty to browse, sip, and discover before or after your workshop.
