We had Kathy and Kerrie from Talk Dirt 2 Me come into our office for a corporate terrarium class which was an absolute delight! From start to finish, Kathy and Kerrie provided an exceptional experience filled with creativity, knowledge, and fun. Their passion for terrariums was infectious, and their expertise shone through every step of the workshop.

Kathy and Kerrie's guidance was invaluable, as they patiently walked us through the process of creating stunning terrariums. Their attention to detail and personalized tips ensured that everyone left with a beautiful, thriving miniature garden.

Not only were Kathy and Kerrie fantastic instructors, but they also created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the class enjoyable for everyone. The level of care they put into each participant's experience was truly remarkable.

I highly recommend the Talk Dirt 2 Me terrarium class to anyone looking to explore their green thumb or simply enjoy a fun and educational activity. Thank you, Kathy and Kerrie, for an unforgettable experience!

17 of us attended the Terrarium making for beginners workshop at Cheltenham for my best friend’s Hens! Kathy was an engaging, friendly and knowledgeable and made the workshop so fun and such a cute experience for all of us. All materials for the Terrarium were provided, the duration was comfortable and not rushed, and it was a seamless, hassle free experience. I loved how the variety of decorations/plants/rocks meant that everyone had space for their creativity and all created really unique creations! I would definitely recommend this course for a wholesome Hens activity.
Thank you so much to the team for such a great experience!

Renee Deeth Mar 2024


We had a group of 26 for a boozy hens workshop and it was the best fun! Kathy was absolutely fantastic, and made organising such a big group an absolute breeze. She has a wealth of knowledge on all things terrariums and provided such a welcoming and fun atmosphere for an afternoon of fun. Couldn’t reccomend this workshop enough, thanks Kathy for such a great day! ️

Sarah-Jane McQueen Mar 2024


Organised this for part of my friend’s 30th birthday! It was a lovely morning, and we loved the terrariums we made. The range of plants and decorations was superb - my friend loves Pokémon and she even found some of those to make it extra special. Kathy is fabulous and makes it really easy to follow along. We are looking to book again for my company for Christmas party. Such a bargain for the price of the workshop

Chevie Beasley Mar 2024


We decided to do this class as a change from the normal birthday celebrations and it was fantastic!
Kathy was super helpful and came around to offer support and answer questions if we were struggling with any parts of assembling the terrariums. Everything provided was easy to use and the steps were explained thoroughly.
Everyone left with an amazing looking terrarium and instructions on how to maintain them.
We would definitely do this class again and are all keen to try some of the others offered by Kathy!

Mei Tee Feb 2024


I found Kathy's workshop on ClassBento and knew it'd be perfect for my sister's Hens so I immediately reached out to Kathy. Not only was the communication so smooth from the get go but she made sure absolutely everything was as comfortable and easy for me, striving to really make the day as perfect as possible. It was the cherry on top to have Kathy host the workshop at our venue as it removed any stress on logistics due to such a large group.

We got to work with a large variety of succulents, cute little decorations and moss which got the group's creative juices flowing. I'm not a green thumb myself but was extremely chuffed with my final product, thanks to Kathy's clear step-by-step instructions. Everyone had such an enjoyable time and loved the uniqueness of this workshop. Thanks so much to Kathy for making the day so so special - I will definitely be recommending this workshop to all my friends and family

I attended the terrarium-making class by myself and it was wonderful. The teacher, Kathy, was so lovely and explained everything we needed to know about making and caring for our terrarium, in depth. The venue was easy enough to find with a sign put out front, and all materials we needed were provided for us there. All in all it was great value for money and would 100% go back with a group of friends. Thanks Kathy!

Sharon Bourne Jan 2024


The terrarium workshop was excellent. Kathy, our teacher, certainly knows her stuff and was able to teach all participants how to create their own terrarium. She is so enthusiastic and guided us through the process and enabled all of the participants to each create a beautiful terrarium. Kathy provided so many choices with regard to plants and miniature garden ornaments. It was a truly positive workshop.

Firstly the service and communication was “above and beyond”. I ordered the product as a Christmas gift and left it a little late, but the lovely lady contacted me and arranged express delivery to ensure it arrived on time, which it did. My daughter-in-law absolutely loves the kit. She has thoroughly enjoyed putting it all together and has had so much fun doing it. The product is exceptional quality and terrific value for money. I highly recommend this DIY Customisable Terrarium Kit. Thank you so much.

Kathy was a great teacher! We were lucky to have a very intimate experience with her because there were some cancellations. She was thorough and patient with us newbies. We had a wheel of a time putting the ingredients one by one and then decorating them as the icing on top of this all.

Definitely would come back for her vertical succulent workshop next time!

The teacher/host was BEYOND phenominal. She decorated for the birthday element, took requests for the drinks and made a lovely punch, ensured that I knew what to expect and was very flexible when some friends were running late.

The class itself was super easy for follow and very fun, all the plants were so dang cute and the decorations truly let you express yourself so no matter what your vibe is you can walk out with a terrarium to suit.

Price was well worth it, the service alone made me feel so welcome and now my house fell even cooler with my epic terrariums.

I canot stress enough, book this experience, you wont regret it!

Had a wonderful afternoon creating these stunning vertical succulent gardens. We can't express enough how amazing Kathy was throughout this experience. She was incredibly accommodating, enthusiastic, and passionate about all things succulents!
Not only did we get to unleash our creativity by arranging the succulents in unique patterns, but Kathy also taught us valuable techniques for maintaining these vertical gardens.

The workshop space is lovely and perfect for a relaxing couple of hours. Materials supplied were very good And the best thing is we didn’t have to clean up after ourselves - Cathy’s lovely assistant did this for us. Also, the venue is perfectly positioned with cafes nearby. Great value and we’ll be back!

I received a session today as a birthday gift from my daughter. We had a lovely time, the venue was really comfortable. Our teacher Bec, was welcoming and great fun and very knowledgable. I loved sitting at the table with all the necessary equipment set out, with the tools we needed, careful instructions and explanations of the process, it was very suitable for a beginner.
It was a very enjoyable class and we all came away with very individual pieces to take home. There was a big selection of ornaments to decorate the terrariums in any style you desired. I would recommend this workshop. Thankyou!

I first booked this class as I had just finished juggling full time study and full time work and had zero hobbies to enjoy. Kathy was so welcoming and accommodating to someone who has never had much to do with plants. She encouraged me heaps and with confidence I was able to plant a cactus in my vertical garden. The venue was gorgeous and I would definitely visit there more often. The staff were lovely and parking was easy as I arrived earlier. The materials were easy to use and Kathy guided us clearly through each step, even helping out when we couldn’t get some succulents to stay put. I enjoyed every minute of the class and now determined to book another and bring my partner along. I learnt so much about succulents and maintaining that I am determined to buy some and confidently grow my own little garden. Thank you so much Kathy for allowing me to find a new hobby worth sticking too xxx

Michelle Lo Dec 2022


Kathy was very warm and friendly, gave easy to follow instructions and guidance. Very easy process to book a private class for our family of 3 (2 adults + 12yo) and Kathy was extremely responsive when we had to reschedule (a month before our class).
It was very convenient to catch the no. 59 tram from Elizabeth St in Melbourne CBD (Airport West to Flinders Street Station) to stop 35 at Queens Park & Pascoe Vale Rd, Moonee Ponds. The venue is situated at Queens Park with a view of the water, providing a relaxing atmosphere in natural surrounds, and opportunity to have a quick lunch before the class.
All tools and materials were provided and easy to use. As we are not from Melbourne and travelling to Brisbane before heading home, Kathy will be looking after our vertical succulent gardens before sending them to us in the New Year.
Definitely recommend it as a team / family bonding exercise - good for young, quiet teenagers who can concentrate and are self-motivated, and can take and execute instructions.
Also good value for money as a 'dourism' experience as you have something to remember the adventure that will endure over time and is not just a 'tourism' photo. We were able to get in touch with our creative and nurturing side. The time (1.5hrs) passed so quickly, which was meditative at times and included laughing and telling jokes and stories with Kathy:-)

Such a fantastic class, I left feeling elated and in love with my new little microenvironment. The class was in a lovely plant shop/cafe situated in Queens Park. Our teacher Bec was great. They were knowledgeable and and gave clear explanations and useful information on the different aspects of a terrarium. We really appreciated the freedom of creativity and encouragement as well as the aftercare instructions to sustain our terrarium at home. Plus, the cocktails provided were so delicious!

Would highly recommend this experience, such great value for money and they even have DIY kits available for purchase to make your own terrarium at home if you turn this into a hobby!

Kathy was really friendly and made the session fun. She hand picked a beautiful range of succulents for us to create our vertical wall with. The creation process was really fun and packing down the moss was very therapeutic! The after care packs are great as well.

Vertical Succulent Garden Workshop review by Aimee Catterall - Melbourne

Alex Williamson Aug 2022


Great fun! It was so nice to learn and create, but the best value comes with the plant care instructions; how to maintain our new plant friend long term.

Bec provided a good comfortable learning environment for our small little class, with easy to follow instructions. There were no rules for artistic flair and choices, only for structure in the layering of plant matter.

We were spoiled for options of plants and decorative materials (and drink options too)

I would absolutely come back and do this again, but with more friends next time to add extra fun.

The location is actually at Curators Collective Cafe, so we ordered some coffees and had it there while we worked on the succulent frames. The class felt easy going and my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the class.

You also leave class with a goodie bag at the end of the day. A very unique class that I recommend for plant lovers/everyone really!

Teacher was helpful and friendly. Small and private venue. There is a lot of plants and decorations to choose from. I also got to bring my own world home and care for it.

We had a really amazing experience! my partner and I accidentally got the time wrong and arrived as the class was ending luckily our instructor Bec was such a legend and took us through a private class! It was so so kind we can't thank her enough. Everything was provided and we had such a big array of fun additions to chose from for making our terrariums unique. I personally loved how many little plants and stones and shells I was able to play around with whilst also learning a lot about soil and caretaking, so that we can easily make our own terrariums at home. I 100% rate them as a course and as a location, business everything about it was perf. worth it :)

Bec was amazing. Very knowledgeable and respectful to the land and plants in general. I learnt to much from this class. I have never made a terrarium before and I was so impressed with what you helped me create. I loved the Mother’s Day class and so did my mum. Thank you so much

This workshop was great and so was Bec! Bec explained the process really well and assisted us with our questions as it was our first time. The materials used were extensive and we could choose from a wide variety of either indoor plants or succulents plus heaps of decorations. It was such a fun activity especially for Mother’s Day and was great value too with the decorated terrariums we took home. Awesome workshop worth doing again with a lovely teacher!

Bec ran this workshop as a birthday party for my 9 year old, and it was AWESOME.
Everything was well set up, a comfortable space, lots of options for plants and decorations, and it was really easy to book a private class.
Bec is an excellent workshop leader: super patient, flexible and able to wrangle all of the kids.
