What to expect

Step into our New York studio and immerse yourself in the calming art of terrarium building! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your very own Wardian case terrarium—a stylish glass greenhouse filled with lush moss, stones, and other natural elements.

We’ll guide you through every step, from layering your base to understanding the science behind self-sustaining ecosystems. You’ll leave not just with a stunning mini garden, but with the know-how to care for it (or let it care for itself—some haven’t been watered in over a year!).

✨ All materials are provided. Just bring yourself and your curiosity!

🍪 Enjoy light refreshments and great company as we craft together.

📸 Don’t forget to snap a few pics—your finished terrarium will be photo-ready!
