I did this class with 3 friends. It was lots of fun - Evie was very positive and encouraging. And we had some lovely works of art to take home.

This was a fun morning. Evie was very well prepared and explained the technique clearly. She was very positive and encouraged us to dive in and have a go. Would be very interested in doing another workshop with her

Evie was fabulous! I cannot recommend her business Petali and her floral arrangement class more! I organised a class for my friends, and her communication was fantastic. We decided to have the class in my backyard (picnic bench style!) and it was the cutest set-up. Evie came early and showed us all the amazing flowers at our disposal and the class was so much fun and relaxing! We all are in love with the arrangements we made, and Evie was such a great guide. Thank you so much, Evie! We will 100% be booking you again! If you’re looking between different preserved floral arrangement classes, I’ll make it easy for you - pick this one!

Evie was lovely! She came to our house to show my mum and I how to make Kokedama. She brought everything we needed and it was so fun and easy. Highly recommend!

The workshop was a great experience. The guests were able to take home 2 or 3 kokedamas! Some of our guests are also teachers so they were keen to use this for future lessons.

Evie unfortunately had a flat tyre on the way to our event (Bridal Shower) and asked if she should still attend. Fortunately she was able to be there only 30 mins later than originally planned!

Bride and guests were happy!

Evie was amazing. She was organised and so entertaining. She had everyone relaxed and engaged from the start. The kokodama is amazing and the whole team loved the experience. We are looking forward to planning another one.

Evie came to our house and was so lovely and so patient with our group of 10 year olds. It happened to be the hottest December day ever, and she was so agreeable and helpful in making the kokedama despite the miserable heat. She brought all the materials, set up, and tidied up. She says she also does terrariums so I'd love to try that next time. Highly recommended. Thanks Evie!

Tara Hill Jun 2023


Did this as an afternoon out with my bestie - we had a great time! a year on one of my kokedamas is still alive and going strong We had a hoot! I doubt you could buy two kokedama for the cost of the class.

Gaby Palestra-Depasse Jun 2023


Highly recommend booking this class. We booked as a fun, different thing to do for my Mum's birthday. Evie came to our home with all of the materials, we didn't have to do a thing except provide a space that would be suitable. We all enjoyed learning how to make kokedama's, getting our hands a bit dirty, and learning about how to look after these beautiful little plants from Evie. Super fun, easy, and interesting!

Georgina Steen Jun 2023


We had Evie run a class for a hens afternoon and it was amazing! So much fun and the girls loved having a souvenir of the day to take home. Evie was great to communicate with leading up to the day and very accommodating. Highly recommend :)

Carla Salvatori May 2023


Our team really enjoyed doing this workshop. Evie, the instructor, was fabulous to work with - before the session she was quick to respond to our questions, she arrived on time and then was super engaging as teacher on the day. We'd very happily run another workshop with Petali again.

Victoria Fell May 2023


We had a great time with Evie during our team activity. We all enjoyed making our own Terrariums and would definitely recommend it to others.

Caroline Huynh Apr 2023


We absolutely loved this class. It was great as a team build or get together. We had 10 -15 in this session. Everyone found the class very relaxing and its great for novice planters. Evie was able to travel to us so this was a greater plus. There were plenty of plants and materials to go around and it was very easy to follow. The class was very interactive and Evie was able to help and assist with any questions we had. Highly recommend for anyone.

Amy Pike Mar 2023

Josette Carino Feb 2023


This class was so fun and relaxing! Evie was an amazing instructor and provided amazing guidance and encouraged us to be creative and take direction.
They were well knowledgeable about the different types of plants and materials.
The experience was amazing and I would do it again!
My favourite part was the whole process and realising my creation in the end.

Dianna Kenny Jan 2023


Friendly, encouraging teacher, with just the right amount of didacticism. Loved the final outcome - my terrarium!

Zachary West Dec 2022


We booked Evie for our work Christmas party and had such a blast! She brought a great selection of materials to work with - many different types of sand, stones and decorative items. We had a lot of fun conceptualising and constructing our terrariums and are very proud of our work :)
Evie provided great advice and guidance without being too restrictive. She was also very bubbly, funny and conversational. We would recommend Evie for anyone wanting something fun and different for a group event.

Sarah Skold Dec 2022


Very tailored, very relaxed, and great value - it would cost more to buy one like that, and we got to enjoy making it together as well!

Strongly, I recommend Evie's class. She is super friendly ★★★★★.
You can enjoy and have fun her class^^

Adriana Yuen Mar 2022


Fantastic mother-son activity.
The place was welcoming and well set up for a small workshop.
Because of the small group size everyone had the opportunity to ask questions and get help.
Instructions were easy to follow and I loved the print out so we can give it another go at home.
Plant selection was good and the allocated time was perfect to create 2 pieces.
Wonderful way to bond with my 12-year old son.

Karen Edwards Mar 2022


Evie Dox is a brilliant teacher who is very professional and incredibly patient and so much fun!

We had all the materials we needed and clear direction to make and take away two fabulous Kokedama.

The class was informative and fun and can thoroughly recommend her class to anyone.

Great value for money and a fun afternoon.

Thank you Evie!
