Awesome workshop. Great vibe and teacher was fantastic and knowledgeable. Clear and easy to follow instructions. Also picked up so great tips on how to care for plants in general. Highly recommend.

Our Kokedama class at Soul Pantry was so much fun and such great value for money! We made a beautiful kokedama birds nest fern to take home and had a few laughs along the way with a fantastic teacher and some lovely fellow workshoppers. Would do it again. Thanks for a great morning!

Patti is the best teacher, gives all the information you need without over explaining! Yet when you leave you have all you need to know to keep your creation alive! The space is comfy and beautiful, great food and coffee and I even got some stocking fillers and finished my Christmas shopping! I’m very proud of my Wreath and can’t wait to go into Soul Pantry again soon for another class, I highly recommend doing one Thanks Patti, Soul Pantry is my happy place ❤️❤️❤️

Teacher was good, informative and pleasant. The venue was abysmala huge metal shed with no air conditioningthe temperature that day was 30 degrees +
I was totally debilitated after the class. I would never go to a workshop there again .

Matt Chappel Dec 2023


Teacher was good. Not sure the price was worth it. It would be good if we got to take home the left-over ingredients/soil.

The whole experience was wonderful. The lady that ran the workshop was amazing, explaining what she was doing while showing us, then helping us when needed. I attended the course by myself and the other attendees were lovely, everyone was inclusive. I loved how everyone’s creations were different. I will be attending again to do another course.

Patty was the best teacher I’ve ever had, so considerate, kind and patient while she explained everything. It was set up very practically and had a great variety of tools to use and a take home care guide! This class was absolutely delightful and I’m so proud of my terrarium!

I really enjoyed the desert terrarium class at Soul pantry. The teacher was wonderful, funny and had a true passion for plants, which showed during the making process. The plants were of high quality and the step by step creation process was made easy to follow. The class was held in a large indoor space that had a cafe, as well as a plant and gift shop. I will be back!

The instructor broke the instructions down into segments working on a layer at a time and the significance of each.
All creative tools were there ready to go. Being able to add an item made it personal, a lot did great with that.

I've always liked the look of the classes at Soul Pantry, so it was great to be able to book on to one.

Patricia was an excellent teacher. She shared a lot of information about the beautiful blooms we were working with and her instruction was easy to follow.

I got to go home with a gorgeous flower arrangement which I, amazingly, created. Will be booking onto another course with them soon.

Soul Pantry is a large undercover airy building. Easy to find but on a week day parking is limited. Soul Pantry is within a busy business area.
The instructor today was Patty. Patty was a delight. Easy to listen to. Helpful with a positive attitude. There were no mistakes just mishaps that can be corrected.
The plants supplied were selected by Patty and looked lovely cocooned in their ball at the end of class.
Thank you Patty for an enjoyable morning. :)
