Great little class. Teacher very friendly and we produced amazingly cute plant bowls. Perfect for keeping or gifting.
Maybe include a tag on a stick with care instructions for gifting.
Better street signage would be preferable. Even a hanging dign on the gate.

Alana Couvreur•

The teacher was fantastic! The venue was a little hard to find but well worth it, and well worth the money - you get to make a terrarium which would be honestly quite expensive bought in-store, and the "tipsy" part of the program wasn't just one measly glass of champagne. Alcohol selection was great and bountiful. A huge bonus is also learning about plant care generally on top of terrarium creation!
Heather Wearne•

What a great class! All materials provided by the friendly and knowledgeable teacher. I love my new terrarium and would recommend this to others. The venue behind the main building was unclear.

The teacher was great, and willing to answer questions about the class, and also seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. The plants supplied were very hardy and look really great. I felt like the teacher didn't really interact with all the participants in the class effectively. I get that it is hard to do online classes and be engaging with all participants, sometimes more shy people slip through the cracks. My internet connection dropped out partway through the class so I may have missed out on some instruction.

My favourite post Melbourne lockdown activity is a Class Bento workshop. My new tropical plant babies arrived safely & snuggly packed to withstand the rough postal journey. "The Plant Whisperer" was wonderful zoom company, guided us, answered questions & when we parted, I had a wonderful terrarium & the knowledge to help it thrive. I enjoyed it so much, this was my second terrarium created with "The Plant Whisperer"

So friendly and great knowledge very enjoyable lesson.
Would definitely recommend friends and family for future gifts ideas.
Great class - Belle shared good tips on the 'why' in building the terrarium and covered aftercare as well. Items arrived in good time - healthy plants, and packing all recyclable (apart from the plastic bag for the soil) :-)
Belinda was such a nice, friendly and chill instructor! I have zero knowledge when it comes to plants but this cute little workshop makes me want to make many more terrariums. Thank you so much Belinda and the rest of The Plant Whisperer team such a relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning!

Wonderful communication from the teacher (as I had a few questions about my kit!), everything arrived well packed and very quickly! It was a really easy to follow along session with the opportunity to ask the teacher any plant related questions. Maybe didn’t need to be done via a live zoom session (a card with instructions would have done fine too), but it was still great to have that live coaching if needed (particularly while in lockdown) ! Happy with my creation
Gave this as a gift to my niece. She had lots of fun doing the making and displaying.

A fun and relaxed session - enjoyed doing something a bit different! They were happy to answer all our questions
I can only recommend taking a class with Bel, The Plant Whisperer. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. She started off with the background history of terrariums, explained how to build one and gave really good tips in between. She generously offered to advise on any plant questions and enabled me to learnt a lot about caring better for my green housemates.
The random group was very nice too with all level of plant lovers: novice to plant experts. Everyone was sharing in with showing their plants, asking questions, sharing experiences and giving advice. I loved how interactive the class was.
The 1.5hrs was sufficient time to get our terrariums done and Bel gave a lot of ideas for other types of terrariums.
I had a really good time and already booked the Kokedama class with the Plant Whisperer team. Looking forward to meet Bel again and a new group of plant lovers.

Was a nice and informative class. Was a different way to spend the weekend and mix it up during lockdown.
Came with three plants and everything you need for the terrarium.
Our bowl came broken but they were good at helping us figure out a solution so that we were able to join in.

Lots of fun! Learnt a bunch about how to care for plants and very helpful tips on how to care for the terrarium! Everything was included in a nicely packaged box and didn't have to worry about not having something!

We did the terrarium class as a corporate team activity. The team had wonderful feedback and loved making the terrariums! Bel our teacher was fantastic and engaging, and Hayley who helped organise the terrarium kits was very responsive. Highly recommend!

Beautiful class! We did it for a team building day during lockdown online and it definitely put a smile on our faces! Thank you Bel x
This was a great kit delivered quickly, with everything you needed. The teacher was engaging and interesting. Class went quicker than expected so could have been more involved but other than that I’m very happy with what I’ve learned and what I have made. Recommended!

Great class, informative and fun to do and loved that it was virtual with everything sent to your door.
Our company (employees in MEL, SYD and ADL) signed up to do a Terrarium making class during lockdown and it was a very enjoyable experience! We were all very excited for this class and to get hands on with making terrariums for the first time! It was also a great opportunity to get the team together during trying times. Haylee was so knowledgeable about all things plants! She was very sweet and patient with the team- we had a lot of questions! The class was delight and lifted our spirits!
Thank you Haylee for another beautiful, relaxing and educational workshop for our clients. So good we have booked a third - can't wait to see you then :)

Great fun! Haylee was amazing and everyone had a good time learning the history of terrariums and also how to care for them.
Absolutely loved the class! Booked for a team building event and everyone was thrilled. Haylee was fantastic in guiding us through making our terrariums and very informative. It was great learning some new things plants wise and expanding our green thumb knowledge. Would book again in future!
Another fantastic class from Haylee of "The Plant Whisperer".
Haylee is so knowledgeable , friendly and patient, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Thanks Haylee, and 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY" :-) :-) :-)

“Most beautiful thing ive ever made, It’s just so lovely we have these events and I can use my new skills with zoom to access them. I am so thankful its must so exiting real achievement. “
Hi to the Events team,
A very big thank you for organising today’s terrarium event.
It was the best few hours I’ve had for a few weeks.
Life has been challenging as a Carer & then a hospital stay for myself.
I feel brighter this morning participating in this fun event.
Hayley was excellent & it was lovely having interaction from other carers.
Sadly my glass bowl arrived with a break in the side of it , plus broken plant.
I enjoyed learning from Hayley today & if it is possible I would love to participate in the
plant ball session , if that is ok.
I loved seeing what the other ladies had made with their terrariums & I have lots of ideas to follow up on.
Like visiting an op shop to source vessels & to involve my grandson in helping to create terrariums for gift making, when we are able to leave the house post Covid
Kind thanks for the bright spot of my last few weeks.

Sent this for a friend's iso-birthday and she had a wonderful time creating her terrarium! It lives comfortably in her lounge room, and she's proud to show it off every time someone new comes over.
It's been great to watch its progress over time.

Bought it for my plant loving girlfriend, and we gave another to her best friend. Proof on their IG accounts
The kit was well presented and easy to do.
There was a problem with delivery however this was fixed
Nice size bowl with a range of decorations

This was a fun way to spend an evening. The instructions were easy to follow and a few days later everything is still alive (which is impressive for me)

Lovely little kit of a good size, with healthy plants, cute decorations, and easy-to-follow instructions.
A great activity, very clear instructions (and care instructions too) and as a complete beginner I was able to achieve success very quickly. I am inspired to keep building now that I know how. I also have a home worthy of the figures I had (forest spirits from two different movies).

I gave the terrarium kit to my granddaughter for her birthday and she made a beautiful terrarium for her bedroom. It looks lovely.
My ten year old daughter created this with me assisting with the instruction sheet. She loved it and the terrarium looks amazing. The plants are just beautiful and she is very proud of her creation that is sitting on her desk. As a visual learner it would be great to have a video to watch along with the instructions but they were very clear for me to help her. Highly recommended and love the decorations included also. Thank you !

When I opened the box just before class started, I was impressed with how the plants were packaged to protect them. Alas, when I opened the small box with the packing ‘noodles’ and the pebbles and soil, I found my bowl was broken into a thousand pieces☹️ Lucky I had a glass bowl that I don’t use in the kitchen any more and I am able to enjoy the class. Perhaps a follow up with some instruction notes would be good. Thank you.

lots of fun, and Bel ran and engaged with the class really well. :)
Loved it! I made an awesome terrarium, and the succulents look good too. Great experience, I was able to ask loads of plant related questions and seek answers to my lack of a green thumb (need to work on that).
Thanks for the accidental personalised class, as I was the only attendee. Made it even more special.
