Recent reviews of Indoor Terrarium Workshop

  • 5/5 from Kennady Cliche, attended Sep 2026: My partner and I spent a lovely morning with Botanista, creating our very first terrariums for our home. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. But luckily, this workshop was filled with information, fun, and creativity! Being able to shop for little decor pieces for your terrarium in house made it easy to get creative with design, and the Shar giving confidence in us as beginners was really motivating and comforting. Thank you for such a wonderful workshop...we will be back! I need to buy more ceramic frogs for my ecosystem :)
  • 5/5 from Irene Goudie, attended Sep 2026: The Terrarium Workshop was excellent. The workshop leader (Shea) was clearly an expert at her craft. She loves what she is doing and that was evident, because her enthusiasm is catchy! She was also able to advise about plants to be used and how plants could be placed for maximum effect. She also knew a lot about soils etc. It was a fantastic experience. Thank you.
