Great class! Class was a good, intimate size so it was easy to converse with others and the teacher. Also loved the advice given on how to care for not just the terrarium/succulents but also other plants which is good for a beginner plant owner like myself. Would reccomend over and over again!

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.

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.

I really enjoyed this class. Mitch and Chris were both very affable and highly knowledgeable on how to make and maintain terrariums and it made for a fun experience. All the items used were of top quality and they even offered a free cup of tea when I was there. Highly recommended! Thank you both for a wonderful afternoon.

Venue was comfortable, clean and cosy with great products in store and for the class. Getting in there to build and create your own little world with your hands felt wonderful - the choice of animals were the the cherry on top (next time, we're coming for the dinosaurs!) Was a wonderful way to spend time with old friends, make new ones and learn about plant care. Thank you, Mitch for the jams, the tea and the life insight - we'll definitely be back!

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!

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.

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 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!

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.
