What It Is
Our make-your-own terrarium workshop in NYC's Financial District runs at 93 Pearl Street, three minutes from Wall St and Whitehall. In 90 minutes you layer stones, charcoal and soil, plant live moss and tropical plants, and seal a glass terrarium that sustains itself for years. $69 per person, all materials included, no experience needed.
Public classes seat 2–50, the largest terrarium session we run anywhere. Private terrarium workshops host groups up to 120 at the studio or at your office in Lower Manhattan. Also at our Midtown studio.
