Christmas things to do in Rochester, MI on a winter weekend
Michigan winters are long, and the Terrarium Making Class on Saturday afternoons is a good answer: a sealed glass garden of live moss and plants that waters itself.
The Moss Wall Art class on Sundays makes a framed piece of preserved greenery that needs no light or water, which makes it a good present for someone who can't keep plants alive.
Every class runs at 882 S Rochester Rd, with parking on site. Bring drinks and snacks for the table.
