What It Is

Join us in New York for an immersive sip and plant craft experience. These workshops are led by an expert instructor who guides guests step-by-step through the process of planting, potting, or creating a terrarium. Participants typically pick their own pots or containers and select from a variety of succulent plants, rocks, soil, and decorative sand or moss. Succulents and cacti are popular choices for their low-maintenance nature and diverse textures, making the experience both fun and approachable.

Our New York studio provides a welcoming, creative environment perfect for both beginners and experienced makers. In 1.5 hours, you'll complete your project with guidance from our expert instructor, working in a group of up to 5-30 participants. No prior experience is needed. Just bring your creativity and enjoy the process of making something uniquely yours.
