Sarah E.

It was really fun creating it. The class was great. But all three of ours molded over. So we couldn’t keep them. It was very disappointing because I was excited to have one.

Adam H.

Within a day I had mold growing.

Such a amazing experience! I had the best time making a mini terrarium!

Such a lovely experience! The instructions were super easy to follow, and I loved getting to make my own mini terrarium while also learning about science behind creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. It was relaxing, creative, and I left with something really cute to take home. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun activity!

Such a fun experience! The steps were easy to follow for the mini terrarium. I went back to do the Turkish lamp. Chiara explained all the steps and answered our questions along the way. Our group’s lamps all came out so nice.
