My mum and I went to the Kokedama class at Merchant and Green on Saturday and we had the best time! Orla was our teacher and she was so lovely and talented. Very patient. We left with three kokedama plants each, of varying sizes. One small succulent, one medium succulent and one large maiden-hair fern! I would recommend this class to everyone :)

Abi Hughes • Aug 2019
Succulent Terrarium Making Class
Loved this class! The location was lovely (at their shop in Bourke St), and Nicole greeted us and settled us in with a cup of herbal tea. Our tutor Chris was awesome, very knowledgeable and happy to chat about plants in general (I'm an orchid enthusiast and I got a few great tips). There were plenty of supplies, and Chris encouraged us to give our terrarium our own touches; everyone's looked individual and special. The class size of six was perfect, and my friend and I had a great time. Chris also gave us enough information about how to create our own terrariums at home. I thoroughly recommend this class!
Maria Mamanidis • Aug 2019

It was definitely a wonderful experience. A member called me to check up on of whereabouts because we were running a little late by 10 minutes, so we are grateful for the wait. The teacher was patient and took the time to answer our questions and came by to help us.

Brianca Le • Jul 2019
Succulent Terrarium Making Class
Great class with such a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. I'm a nervous person but I had a lot of fun and despite the unfortunate power failure in the region, it was resolved quickly with romantic candle lights. Though the lights did eventually turn on again. Great people, service, plants and overall I love it. The terrariums turned out better than I expected.
Jessica Durand • Jul 2019

Leah Krischock • Jul 2019
Succulent Terrarium Making Class
My husband gave this class to me as a Christmas present and I was delighted with his choice. The teachers were friendly and knowledgeable, kept the class running despite the minor setback of a blackout in the area and were attentive to each of the students. We were shown how to build up our dry terrarium glass bowl with each layer of material, receiving information on the purpose of each and important tips on things to avoid. I left the class with a beautiful succulent terrarium and the knowledge of how to build my own terrarium at home. I learnt that it is possible to propagate new succulents from broken off 'leaves' and am showering TLC on the pieces I took home in the hope that I will be able to use some of them in the next terrarium I make.
The venue was lovely. I enjoyed being surrounded by the beautiful indoor plants and cut flowers. This class is highly recommended.

The wildflower arranging workshop was excellent! Such a lovely afternoon with great information & guidance from the teachers while also letting us take our bouquets in our own direction :) We learned to make bouquets 3 different ways using the wildflowers. The workshop is in a gorgeous location in the florist studio, surrounded by wonderful flowers.
The flowers provided were beautiful and we each got to take home a huge bunch that we put together ourselves. I think it was perfect value for money & the class was what I expected & hoped for!

There were only 2 of us so we received individualised attention. It was so much fun and it brought back memories of when I attempted macrame over 35 years ago. The teacher was amazing and attentive. I would highly recommend this class. I am now keen to do some more macrame workshops.
I was so impressed I purchased my pot for my Macrame Plant Hanger as well as some other items from Merchant and Gree.

I got this workshop as a gift for my hubby who loves gardening and was looking to learn more about kokedama. Chris was our teacher. He was friendly and warm and a good instructor. The tasks were sequenced well, in increasing difficulty and we felt confident with each new task. The materials we used were of great quality and we got to take home the kokedama we created. We had guests over the next day and they were super impressed with our creations!
We really recommend this class!

My daughter bought me this terrarium making workshop for Mothers Day for her and I to do together. We were warmly greeted by Mitch and Chris on arrival and offered a cup of tea.
The workshop takes place in the flowershop front and whilst I initially thought the space was pretty small I soon learnt there was plenty of room. Mitch was a great teacher, he taught us everything we needed to know about how to build the terrarium to how to care for the succulents. Mitch was really engaging and great fun. Both my daughter and I thought this workshop was excellent and the end product was beautiful - we are very happy with out terrariums.

This was my first time joining a flower arranging workshop - and I super love it. Just want to say big thanks to Mitch and Chris for such a wonderful experience; they are such great and fun teachers. Besides learning how to arrange the flowers, I was amazed at the fact that there are many different kinds of native wildflowers/plants provided on the day. On top of that, I love that I get to bring my own bouquet arrangement home. I am glad I spent $130 for this particular workshop, it was a really good value for money.

Enjoyed this workshop very much. The venue was beautiful and very conducive to working with plants, being surrounded by them and also beautiful flowers. The teacher was knowledgable and had a supportive, easy manner. Everyone in class achieved a great result and I was very happy with the three Kokodamas I bought home. The skills are something that I will be able to use again and again on my own, but we were given some insider hints that made the whole process much easier. It was a relaxed, but productive, way to spend a Saturday morning. A super successful workshop, thank you!

Great location (the florist is beautiful, loads of all day parking and a great cafe next door!), really friendly teachers, small class size.

Flower Arranging Workshop - Wildflowers
What a great relaxing activity to do while on holidays. Chris the teacher was friendly and a wealth of knowledge. My private wildflower class was amazing. I learnt so much as I was guided through the stages of putting my arrangement together. A great experience and best of all I have an individual arrangement to hold, touch and take home with me to enjoy for days to come. I will be back and recommend the shop and class.

What was the teacher like?
The teacher was so kind, engaging, passionate, knowledgeable, and fun. We had such great conversations about all things plant, and he was part of the reason the afternoon was so perfect. He encouraged us and offered professional tips and insight to make our terrariums look amazing.
How was the venue?
Merchant & Green is a cute little florist in Redfern and the perfect place to create your own terrarium. When surrounded by lush plants in such a quaint and cute little shop you really feel warm and in your element when creating your lil world.
If materials were provided, did you like them?
Everything we could have ever needed or wanted was provided. If we needed more soil or features or decorations they were all provided. Even items which weren't obviously needed for decorating were provided and looked for as our teacher tried to help us create the best terrarium we could. Most importantly the little plastic animals were provided which, let's face it, is the best-looking feature in the terrarium.
Was the class good value for money?
Considering you would buy a terrarium that size for about $100, you get to build your own, customize it, and have the knowledge and experience for an extra $50 per person, its very worth it.
What did you do / learn?
We were taught all about terrariums, how they work, why they work, and why they're made the way they are. We are then instructed step by step on how to create it, while being checked and encouraged at each step. Along the way, helpful insight and tips on how to create it as best as possible is given. We were also taught how to look after it at home to make sure it lives as long as possible.

The workshop was a great way to get into terranium making. Chris is a wonderful teacher, very patient and clear in his instructions, the plants and instruments were neatly set up and every thing was so detailed and well thought of. It was a very calming beautiful experience in a lovely location and the reward of taking your very own terranium is amazing.

Fantastic Private Class. Chris was great. We arrived for our class and Chris gave us some background on him and his business and how he came to be doing these classes, then we got straight into it. Chris explained whys and hows of every step of the process of making our Terrarium's. We both really enjoyed our class and would definitely recommend Chris and his classes.
Leyen Nguyen • Aug 2018

As always, Chris was amazing! I had previously attended his terrarium class and loved it so much that I came back for a private class with my family. He was thoughtful and patient throughout the entire class, offering us great pieces of information and advice on how to make a beautiful bouquet. His eye for colour, years of experience and bubbly personality really makes him the best teacher. For the price, you learn so much and get to take home an ENORMOUS bouquet that looks and smells amazing.

Anthony Tam • Jun 2018
Succulent Terrarium Making Class
The teachers were fantastic: they were accommodating, funny, informative, and downright cool. Not to mention the actual terrarium class was completely relaxing, engaging, fun, and informative. My friend was late to the class, but they were happy to run it again just for him after our group session, while I waited with a second cup of tea in hand. We didn't get to meet the owner, who also runs classes, but you wouldn't know it from the highly enthusiastic and engaging shop assistants! Highly recommended!
Iain • Jun 2018
Succulent Terrarium Making Class
I came back for a second class, and I'm glad I did! I love how every class is different, from the ingredients of the day (stones, succulents, vases and other decorations), and of course the dynamics with the other students and the teachers. It made it a familiar but fresh experience. And I'm happy to report that despite my previously terrible track record with plant maintenance, I've been able to keep the terrarium from my first class a few months ago healthy, sitting happily on my desk collecting compliments from passersby.
Andrew Killin • Jun 2018

The venue was in a wonderful village atmosphere and the florist shop and teacher added to this. The area was small but not cramped, the materials were first class and plenty of selection to complete the terrarium. The teacher was well versed in all areas regarding the topic and was happy to answer questions on any other areas regarding plants.

Chris (our teacher) was amazing!
It's great to be taught by someone who has a real passion for these things.
The shop is perfect, the sizing was big enough for us to have our freedom to Walk around whilst also allowing us to connect intimately.

This class was brilliant! I was a bit apprehensive about going on my own as it was bought for me as a present, but I needn't have been at all. I had such a good time - it was the perfect outlet to have some chilled out 'me time' as well as getting my creative juices flowing!
The teacher was excellent, really attentive and answered all our newbie questions! The space was very cool and has made my instagram feed look sweet, the materials were really high quality too. Best of all, you get your amazing creation to take home, which has definitely made my apartment look a lot more classy.

I really enjoyed the lesson with Chris. Beautiful surroundings within the florist shop, nice cuppa, and we created a generous sized terrarium, to take home. Perfect, relaxed catch-up time with a friend.

I absolutely loved this class, I bought it as a surprise birthday gift for a friend and I think it's an experience definitely worth trying.
The workshop/store was very relaxing and intimate. We arrived a little late due to difficulty finding parking, however Chris our teacher patiently waited for everyone to arrive. Chris was very open with answering any questions from the class and we did not feel rushed during the whole process.
I've never made a terrarium before, but this beginner class was fun and easy to follow as we were provided with all the tools needed and tea!
Overall, I would recommend trying this out, and by the end of it you get to take home a beautiful creation of your own!

I had such an enjoyable morning, learning how to make a terrarium, how to care for it and so many side questions about house plant care and looking after cut flowers. The workshop space was inviting and full of inspiration. Chris was a knowledgable calm and helpful teacher. Great value for money as it's far more than a terrarium workshop.

What a fabulous thing to do on a Saturday morning. It was really interesting to learn about how to put together our terrariums and why the different layers were so important.

My friends and I had a wonderful time at the Christmas wreath making class. Chris and Orla were fantastic. Very knowledgeable, fun and full of super ideas for the festive season.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to get in the festive mood, be creative and make a original Christmas gift for a family member or friend.
Looking forward to another Classbento experience. Thanks
Christopher • Dec 2017
Fantastic way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday. Highly recommend this for small groups/couples/singles that want to do something crafty/Christmassy/therapeutic. Have lunch a few doors down (place on the corner) too. Chris is knowledgeable and has an abundance of materials and insights so your wreath will look incredible, even if you haven't an ounce of talent. Haha. All three of us had a ball and Chris was a gentleman.
