I booked the Bonsai class for my husband’s birthday and it was such a great way to spend an afternoon.
Chris, the instructor was amazing and made the experience delightful.
Would definitely recommend this class as not only was it a fun experience, but you get to take away your own bonsai tree to care for and continue the fun at home!

My instructor on the Mossarium workshop was fabulous. He walked me through every step and helped me create a moss garden which I will have for many years to come. His store was clean and tidy and interesting to see. He had a good supply and range of substrates etc to use. It was a lovely relaxing way to spend my time and well worth it.
