  • 5/5 from Bernie Cope, attended Feb 2024: The friendly and informative class was amazing, the time just flew by. Tanya was so knowledgeable and had a great set up in a relaxing venue. So much variety in the plants and decorations we had on hand. It was the best gift from my son and was able to take my sister for some quality fun time. Came away from the experience so positive and with a beautiful terrarium that I made myself. So looking forward to using my other gift vouchers.
  • 5/5 from Emily Purcell, attended Feb 2024: I bought this class for myself to explore a new hobby and I really enjoyed it! I attended alone and this class was suitable to attend alone or with a friend/group. The venue is a really cool collective with lots of smaller vendors in a warehouse type building. It was quite a hot day but the temperature inside was comfortable. Tanya was a really knowledgeable teacher and explained everything in a really accessible way. She had a range of lovely materials and explained how/where to buy them if you want to continue to make terrariums at home. I enjoyed learning about the different elements and having the opportunity to be creative with the materials. Overall this class was excellent and great value for money, I highly recommend Tanya's workshops.

  • 5/5 from Loovani Appavoo, attended May 2023: I had a wonderful moment with the team. The teacher was amazing and she explained so well. She did a great job. Thank you for providing us with all the equipments.
  • 5/5 from Alberta Janes, attended May 2023: Learning about Terrariums and how to put one together was the best - Tanya has a wealth of knowledge about this subject and she was kind, supportive and patient with the variety of attendees she had. Tanya was an excellent guide and teacher, I enjoyed the experience (as did my hubby and son) and I will certainly try to build a Succulents Terrarium when time permits. All the materials Tanya provided were of excellent quality - I particularly like the information sheet and the 'how to' look after my Terrarium, thanks to Tanya.
  • 5/5 from Bianca Dobrich, attended May 2023: Tanya was an absolutely amazing teacher, she is full of knowledge and helpful tips to be independent in your own terrarium making at home! Highly recommend this workshop.
  • 4/5 from Sandra Holmes, attended May 2023: The experience was interesting, I did learn a lot and will continue to enjoy terrariums. The teacher had a lot of knowledge on the subject but did talk for too much.
  • 4/5 from Rhonda Smith, attended May 2023: Teacher was lovely and thorough. Space was unique and funky. Great selection of products provided in order to personalise your own terrarium. Only points I believe that could be improved upon would be: - cap class at 10 people (12 at an absolute push) for that space they have. We had (from my count) 15, and it was extremely squishy, and 2 people had to sit at a different table to where the majority of the class was taking place. - have the teacher actually demonstrate by making her own, as it was, at times, rather difficult to follow the verbal instructions without seeing what was being said put into action in front of us. Otherwise fabulous class and thoroughly enjoyed.
  • 5/5 from Claire Cooke, attended Apr 2023: A great venue (there’s even ACROD parking) and atmosphere! The class is great for beginners and I’m assured it’s very difficult to accidentally kill the plants. I loved decorating my terrarium with the range of good quality options.
