We had a lovely time making our own terrarium plants under Yoshi-san's guidance. Yoshi-san is very patient, knowledgable and provides plenty of materials, plants, etc. which makes the experience so full of enjoyment. Time did fly because all of us in the classroom had so much fun. I'm not great with arts at all but boy did my plants look great! It was easy to follow Yoshi-san's guidance and all I needed was a bit of creativity and imagination. I highly recommend this class to everyone. It's really enjoyable and you bring home with you beautiful plants!

I highly recommend doing this - every penny was worth it.
