I booked this for a work team-building event, and it was a fantastic morning with colleagues. Ellie started the class by sharing about some benefits of having terrariums in our homes and workspaces, and did a great job demonstrating how to put it together. She provided some great snacks too!
Putting it together was so much technical than I expected, but we all had so much fun! I was super happy with how mine turned out and I hope to book in for a worhshop with friends soon.

The teacher was very friendly, positive and personable. The venue was well suited for the class. I enjoyed the guidance and freedom to be creative. Although all attendees were provided with the same items, It was amazing how all flower arrangements were different. I look forward to doing another class sometime.

Ellie was fantastic. She arrived early and set up for my daughter’s birthday. The girls had fun and learned how to care for the fabulous terrariums they made. Best of all Ellie packed up everything. No mess. No fuss. I highly recommend Ellie to anyone wanting something different for a party.
