Kit has everything you need to create a long lasting gift. It’s Easy to follow instructions.

Rhoda O'Higgins Mar 2024


It was a fun, very informative, well-explained, and well-set-up class. The quality of the goods supplied was great, absolutely everything was supplied and plenty of it. They were also very well packaged. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I'm even tempted to try one on my own, which in itself speaks volumes as I'm so far from being a green thumb that it's not funny. I highly recommend this class.

Francoise Dobill Mar 2024


I thoroughly enjoyed the Plant Parenthood 101 workshop.
Haylee was extremely informative, patient and considerate.
She took time to answer all our questions.
The class was highly informative and practical.
And we got to choose a small plant at the end of the class, which was a lovely touch.

Thanking you kindlyJanan

Steve Murphy Mar 2024


This was such a fun and informative class. The location was perfect with lots of parking and great amenities. Everything was supplied for us to create our terrariums and I'm stoked with mine. I now have the knowledge to create more at home. Our teacher was brilliant in creating a lovely vibe and very hands on. I highly recommend this class.

Olga Pilipenets Mar 2024


I got this workshop as a bday gift for my friend and decided to join myself. We had a really good time. Definitely would recommend

Chloe Skoutas Mar 2024


I really enjoyed making this terrarium. I’m not really one for plants but during the class I did actually learn a lot. It was my friends hens party and she loves plants so it’s amazing that we all get to have a souvenir of sorts to remember the day.

Victoria Kuczer Mar 2024


Really fun afternoon of making a super cute enclosed terrarium. Very clean instructions, and super fulfilling to take your own little biodome home. Workshop Melbourne is also a cool, light-filled space to take classes in.

McKenzie Fabish Feb 2024


The most amazing Terrarium Class, very educational and super easy and fun to do. Perfect for beginners like myself, who have never created one before. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to do this class. Looks of yummy snacks and drinks provided as well!

Ariel Liu Feb 2024


My partner and I arranged for a private class with Tipsy Terrrarium for our anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything that we needed was provided for us, including little decorative items, which was unexpected. The teacher was very clear in her explanations and was very helpful when we had questions.

Highly recommend this class. We had so much fun and definitely want to make more terrariums!

Dale Clifford Feb 2024


Thank you for a fun experience and a nice small intimate class size meant it was comfortable and easy to go at our own pace. I immediately left here and went to Bunnings to get more stuff so I can make more when I get home. Thanks again!

Leisa McBride Feb 2024


Great teacher and communication.
Packaged with care. Plants arrived safely.
I ordered different decorations online.
I love how it turned out.

Andrea Sulava Feb 2024


Would definitely recommend this class. The teacher was lovely, there was a good variety of plants and decorations!

Gorapon Sirisriro Feb 2024


Fantastic instructor! Great experience! We will definitely recommend her to any plant lovers! An absolute must try!

Deborah Govorcin Feb 2024


The venue is SO CUTE! Although it’s in a warehousey type building it feels like you’re in a little conservatory.
Not only do they provide snacks and drinks (unlike most CB experiences), they don’t cheap out either- it’s great quality.
As chilled music played, the host took us through each step slowly and clearly, then checked everyone’s work at each stage to make sure we had done it correctly before moving on. The plants were lovely and healthy, and the options to decorate at the end were plentiful
You can tell when a host is after a money grab vs a host that’s genuinely wanting to give participants a wholesome and quality time- this is most definitely the latter.
Myself and my friend loved it so much we’re going to book in again for the closed terrarium session! We can’t wait!
Can’t recommend highly enough- this has been my absolute favourite and most fun CB experience yet.
Ps If you see my photo I did bring some of my own stuff to decorate (which you’re allowed to do!) so the figurines/crystals won’t be there- although for an extra fee you can buy crystals there to pop in too :))

Plant lovers will adore this terrarium dome class. It was fascinating seeing how the plants, rocks and soil came together inside the dome. All materials were provided. There was choice of a variety of ferns and nerve plants. It was a spacious venue with a friendly dog. Teacher Helena provided easy to follow step by step guidance. I definitely will attempt to make another at home.

Beverley Lubcke Feb 2024


My grandson Henry and my husband Tim did this course and loved it.
They compare daily to see if each others plant is going well.

So much fun! I did want to do this for a should but still better than expected. People there were friendly and the teacher was great

Maisie Stokes Jan 2024


This is my second class with The Plant Whisperer, I love coming here! The environment is so lovely and bright as well as intimate. I had Jess as my teacher, she was fantastic. So informative and warm-hearted. I love that she also taught us that plants are alive and breathing beings; just like us. That made caring for my plants click for me. I truly believe this is the end of me killing my plants.

Leisa McBride Jan 2024


Great teacher and communication, so happy with how they turned out.
This is a few weeks later and you can see they are thriving. Thank you so much

Melissa Hofsteter Nov 2023


I recently had the pleasure of attending a terrarium workshop that left me both creatively inspired and armed with newfound knowledge about creating and maintaining these miniature ecosystems. The overall experience was nothing short of fantastic, and every aspect of the workshop contributed to a delightful and educational day.
The teacher's enthusiasm for terrariums was infectious, and their expertise shone through as they guided us through the process with patience and a genuine love for the craft. Their willingness to answer questions and provide personalised tips made the learning experience not only informative but also enjoyable. Everyone left with the confidence to nurture their own little green worlds.
One of the highlights for me was the practical lesson on proper watering techniques. Learning how to water the terrarium properly was a game-changer, as it demystified a crucial aspect of plant care that often proves challenging for beginners. The workshop not only provided the know-how but also instilled the confidence to care for my terrarium long after the workshop concluded.

Really great class, the teacher's instructions were really clear and well paced. There lots of room for your own creative input to your design so you were well supported to create something uniquely your own. Would recommend and looking at other classes they offer already.

Gina Riddell Oct 2023


Great class, Haylee was super knowledgeable and engaging and presented the information in a way that was easy to retain. The class ran over but at no point did Haylee make us feel rushed. Loved the take home gift of a plant and a cutting, thanks for a great morning!

I had such a fun and calming time doing this class. I was unable to attend the last class but Hayley was so wonderful and understanding of my situation that I was able to do a makeup class. Renee, our teacher, is so warm and friendly and has such a welcoming presence. She walks you through everything so you never feel like you're missing out or don't understand. The venue is so gorgeous and cool and quite homey. My terrarium is gorgeous and thriving and I finally know how to keep them alive for a long time! I will definitely be doing another class with the Plant Whisperer in the future.

Renee is a fantastic teacher and all round lovely person. She made the whole process so easy and fun! Prosecco, red wine, beer, and snacks were provided which I didn't realise as I thought it was probably byo. Also aftercare comes with the class so you can email the lovely people at The Plant Whisperer for tips maintaining your terrarium! The whole experience was wonderful and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Haylee was unreal! I cannot recommend this workshop more. She was so engaging with the crowd, and educated those around her where possible. She provided the most amazing plants, soil, vessels, and decorations. It was a slightly older crowd we had, she was extremely patient and answered all questions. Also being able to take away something from this was so special, our unique little piece.

We had such a great time at the Terrarium and Sip session at The Plant Whisperer. Haylee was amazing - food and drinks were great and everyone brought home a beautiful terrarium! Thanks again!

I had a fun time at this class. My instructor, Renee was an absolute delight and such a friendly person to learn from. She offered tips and tricks to plant care as we went along the class. The location was a little hard to find as I got there early and the class was locked up. But it started right on time and was a very interactive experience. Would definitely go again!

Catherine Watt May 2023


If you’re looking for an amazing informative easy to follow few hours learning about making your own organic skin care then this is for you. Lovely environment and absolutely everything was provided to make the skincare and take home a quality (looks like I bought it in a shop items). The skin care products I made were perfectly put in gorgeous bottles so that I could take them home to use or give as gifts as they looked so good! Great chat too over a hot cup of tea and chocolates learning about the processes in making true organic skin care products. Lots of choices as far as choosing essential oils that suited what I liked.
I would recommend this class to anyone that’s wanting value for money, a fun day out, wanting to make their own gift for someone or just wanting to learn more about organic skin care. Try it out and save money on your own skin care by making it yourself. Thanks for an amazing time!

The teacher, Renee, was just beautiful. So friendly, welcoming, and informative.
There was a great selection of plants to choose from in various heights, texture, colour, and leaf shape. A broad range of decorations were also included to further personalise and adorn your terrarium.
There was wine, beer, and champagne available plus a delicious spread of cheese, crackers, nuts, and dried fruits.
Highly recommend.

I've been so eager to do this class and now that I've done it, I can say its sooo worth it. I got to make luscious whipped body butter, a day and night face serum and a bonus foot cream. Hayley, the lovely teacher, provided a range of essential oil and extras that has numerous properties that benefit the skin. I got to choose the scent and properties to add to my products. The whole process of making this was soooo fun and it smelt heavenly. I am sooo happy taking home these luscious and great smelling products that are completely free of chemicals and nasties, all plant based. Hayley the teacher is so friendly and kind helpful throughout the process.
Thankyou so much Hayley, this was a great experience and now I can make these for myself, family and friends. They would make great gifts in a hamper.❤❤❤

The ‘plant whisperer’ Hailey is super helpful and knowledgeable:). I have received a lot of useful information on how to look after my plant babies. The studio has such a loving and plant vibes:). Definitely enjoy this experience and will go back for other workshops as well.
Ps Hailey also generously give away some baby plants for us to take home:).

Clare Apr 2023


LOVED this class on starting to become a better plant parent. The studio was stunning and full of plants to inspire you. Hayley was a great teacher and communicator and more than happy to answer our plethora of questions. We have come away feeling inspired, but more importantly empowered and enabled to start caring for our plants at home that are currently languishing and add to them in the future. We are already talking about doing more classes.

Ei-Cheng Chui Apr 2023


A fantastic class full of really useful information for someone like me who regularly kills plants. It was well worth my time. Hayley was excellent at explaining the common issues looking after plants with ample opportunities to ask lots of questions. Definitely recommended.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this class and now have four lovely kokedamas sitting in our home! Our teacher was engaging and patient in guiding us through the process. Also, great value for money with all materials and plants provided and the small class size meant that you get good individual attention when needed! Highly recommend this!

I loved the classroom vibe and teacher was nice but I think it was a little pricey and was little disappointed on the lack of plant variety. Like there was a limited amount of plants we all had to share and with only a couple of unique ones, so if another person grabbed one you really liked first you were out of luck. There was a good variety of decorations though.
Overall had a great time and was very informative :)

Highly recommend this private class! I booked this as a surprise for my plant-loving boyfriend’s birthday and he loved it. Haylee was so lovely and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step of the way and encouraging our creations. Everything was supplied and we had so many plants and decorations to choose from. We walked away incredibly happy and our terrariums look great! Thanks Haylee!

This was a truly wonderful experience! The teacher was very engaging, warm and went at a good pace for everyone to be able to keep up. We had plenty of materials and options to make our terrariums - including plants and decorations. My favourite aspect was probably the creativity involved in choosing a good plant combo and then dressing it up at at the end. Also a nice selection of drinks and food to nibble on. Would recommend this workshop to anyone considering it!

We had Renee guiding us through the dome moss terrarium class today. She’s very friendly and supportive and helped us each step of the way through our finished product. I love how my terrarium looks and it will take pride of place in my room next to the window. I’ve killed my previous terrarium by putting it outside in direct sunlight but not this time. I know better this time round, will take greater care of it.

Great experience and would highly recommend. And I now know how to make a terrarium!

Amy Jul 2022


Class was good however getting home was an issue. Meaning, we did not get home because no one informed us that the car park gets locked at 9:00pm. After some nibbles supporting local business, we return to our cars locked an no means to get home. We contacted the teacher who did nothing to help besides say she has yoga at 6am. The security also did not help. We spent lots of money on taxi getting home. Disappointed and unsafe. Please contact me.

Lee Chai Jun 2022


When I opened the box just before class started, I was impressed with how the plants were packaged to protect them. Alas, when I opened the small box with the packing ‘noodles’ and the pebbles and soil, I found my bowl was broken into a thousand pieces☹️ Lucky I had a glass bowl that I don’t use in the kitchen any more and I am able to enjoy the class. Perhaps a follow up with some instruction notes would be good. Thank you.

The teacher was great, and willing to answer questions about the class, and also seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. The plants supplied were very hardy and look really great. I felt like the teacher didn't really interact with all the participants in the class effectively. I get that it is hard to do online classes and be engaging with all participants, sometimes more shy people slip through the cracks. My internet connection dropped out partway through the class so I may have missed out on some instruction.

Loved it! I made an awesome terrarium, and the succulents look good too. Great experience, I was able to ask loads of plant related questions and seek answers to my lack of a green thumb (need to work on that).
Thanks for the accidental personalised class, as I was the only attendee. Made it even more special.

Teacher was very nice and encouraging, and gave some very useful information for the class. The venue was such a relaxed and chill environment and work from other classes made a great back drop. Everyone recieved plants that they were happy with and the materials provided were of of quality. The price is a little steep seeing all materials were probably only $25, but the class was very enjoyable and I highly reccomend.

Great afternoon with Renae. Our terrariums looked fantastic, the team really enjoyed the afternoon. From start to finish, very professional. Really liked that we all had some different plants.

Thank you from Amanda & BCG

So much fun in a relatively short period of time! I felt a bit stressed coming into the session trying to juggle workload beforehand but by the end of the class, I felt relaxed and revived :)
Class was very well organised from the delivery of the items, to the actual session. Was great to see the variety of plants that everyone had, and the wonderful results. Thank you!

our host was super knowledgable and I love the way the plants were sent to our house :)

Lovely relaxed beginners class. If we had class equipment requirements to set up before the class would have been preferable. I.e. water jugs, bowls, towel to clean hands, etc.

Carolyn Barrett Sep 2021


I thoroughly enjoyed the class & was very happy with the completed kokedama.
I think it would be an idea to include scissors, jug of water & bowls as suggested items to have on hand prior to class starting.

I can only recommend taking a class with Bel, The Plant Whisperer. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. She started off with the background history of terrariums, explained how to build one and gave really good tips in between. She generously offered to advise on any plant questions and enabled me to learnt a lot about caring better for my green housemates.
The random group was very nice too with all level of plant lovers: novice to plant experts. Everyone was sharing in with showing their plants, asking questions, sharing experiences and giving advice. I loved how interactive the class was.
The 1.5hrs was sufficient time to get our terrariums done and Bel gave a lot of ideas for other types of terrariums.
I had a really good time and already booked the Kokedama class with the Plant Whisperer team. Looking forward to meet Bel again and a new group of plant lovers.

Lisa Gregory Sep 2021


Fantastic experience. Fun, educational and we love the Terrarium we made. Thanks Bel and team.

Lauren Buckley Sep 2021


Was a nice and informative class. Was a different way to spend the weekend and mix it up during lockdown.

Came with three plants and everything you need for the terrarium.

Our bowl came broken but they were good at helping us figure out a solution so that we were able to join in.

I left the class on a high and feeling like I could go and make 100 kokedamas!

It is so clear from the onset that Hayley is passionate about what she does. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon.

So cute! Love it. Everything you needed was there. My instructions were not in the box but it's all good they got emailed to me. :))

Neville Sturwohld Jul 2021


My Kokedama workshop lesson was a Christmas gift from my daughter. I thoroughly enjoy the class. The Plant Whisperer was a very clear and patient teacher. Haylee gave us clear instruction on what to do and gave us time and encouragement to complete each part of the lesson before moving on. We were encouraged to ask questions and show our work. I really had fun. It was messy, mud on the table and on the floor. But the end product is just great. I have enclosed photos. I'm not sure where to hang my Ivy one yet, I thought it would be nice in the ensuite but my wife said no would see it there, its too beautiful to be hidden away. I'm looking forward to doing more before I forget how to do it. Thanks Haylee it was a great time.

Excellent workshop - came away with two kokedamas - the time flew by but never felt rushed. The Plant whisperer - our terrific instructor - kept instructions very clear and simple - stepped through each process and demonstrated well. Never felt left behind and she came around and checked in with everyone very regularly making sure we felt comfortable with what we were doing. She gave terrific and positive feedback at all stages. The workshop venue is light, bright and airy - all participants were well spaced out and Covid safety was clearly practised. An excellent way to spend a few hours and have some very tangible evidence of what we achieved.

We were all very excited for this class and to get hands on with making terrariums for the first time! It was also a great opportunity to get the team together during trying times. Haylee was so knowledgeable about all things plants! She was very sweet and patient with the team- we had a lot of questions! The class was delight and lifted our spirits!

The teacher was fantastic! The venue was a little hard to find but well worth it, and well worth the money - you get to make a terrarium which would be honestly quite expensive bought in-store, and the "tipsy" part of the program wasn't just one measly glass of champagne. Alcohol selection was great and bountiful. A huge bonus is also learning about plant care generally on top of terrarium creation!

Heather Wearne May 2021


What a great class! All materials provided by the friendly and knowledgeable teacher. I love my new terrarium and would recommend this to others. The venue behind the main building was unclear.

We attended the kokedama class as a birthday present and it was a wonderful experience. The process was well-explained, along with a lot of advice on technique, care, and suggestions on how to decorate with the kokedama once we brought them home. We went home with four kokedama and an eagerness to learn more — would definitely recommend the class to others!

We did not get to experience this activity I purchased for my best friends birthday as Haylee cancelled super last minute. This was extremely disappointing as 10 people had already gathered from around Melbourne/Vic to attend. Haylee was extremely rude over text. She was told the suburb beforehand when the booking occurred and due to her own lack of organisation she went to the wrong address. after having made her mistake she was inflexible even though the 10 of us were willing to wait. She tried to blame this on the attendee who organised the night by saying she had typed in the wrong address (which wasn't true and this was confirmed by ClassBento the next day), and her pregnancy. To sum, the night was essentially ruined.

Elizabeth Hoey Apr 2021


This was a lot of fun. Haylee was friendly and helpful, providing clear instructions on how to make your Kokedamas. Working with the moss was really enjoyable and it was really satisfying coming away with 2 Kokedamas that I had made myself.

Haylle is a born teacher. Her instructions are simple and easy to follow. She takes a step by step process and allows for all kinds of learners and abilities when providing instruction. She is happy to answer questions and includes future problem solving when providing instruction. The boxes come with live plants, still moist anf growing well, as well as enough materials to ensure there is more than enough for individual design or construction.
I have enjoyed the two different classes i have attended and would happily do more.

The teacher was super friendly and patient in explaining the process and made time to answer all questions.
What I would have liked to have included in the class was some more detailed explanation of closed terrariums as well even though we didn’t make them just to understand the differences in care and such. The teacher did a great job of reviewing everyone’s work throughout the class and make corrections where needed. Overall good fun and great experience! Looking forward to use what I’ve learnt to make gifts for family and friends over the coming months for various occasions.

Another great class from 'The Plant Whisperer'
Haylee is a wealth of knowledge, and answered everyone's questions in a clear and concise manner.
Our group had a great time learning how to look after their plants, and getting advice on how to troubleshoot pest control.
Thanks Haylee :-)

My ten year old daughter created this with me assisting with the instruction sheet. She loved it and the terrarium looks amazing. The plants are just beautiful and she is very proud of her creation that is sitting on her desk. As a visual learner it would be great to have a video to watch along with the instructions but they were very clear for me to help her. Highly recommended and love the decorations included also. Thank you !

Helena is very approachable and friendly instructor, which allows other participants to ask questions and be curious! She have provided important informations about how the terrarium works and what doesn't work well, and she is more than happy to answers if you have any questions. I look forward to purchasing more herbs to create few terrariums. Thanks Helena for running an amazing Zoom class! Enjoyed the lesson.

“Most beautiful thing ive ever made, It’s just so lovely we have these events and I can use my new skills with zoom to access them. I am so thankful its must so exiting real achievement. “

Hi to the Events team,
A very big thank you for organising today’s terrarium event.

It was the best few hours I’ve had for a few weeks.
Life has been challenging as a Carer & then a hospital stay for myself.
I feel brighter this morning participating in this fun event.
Hayley was excellent & it was lovely having interaction from other carers.

Sadly my glass bowl arrived with a break in the side of it , plus broken plant.

I enjoyed learning from Hayley today & if it is possible I would love to participate in the
plant ball session , if that is ok.

I loved seeing what the other ladies had made with their terrariums & I have lots of ideas to follow up on.
Like visiting an op shop to source vessels & to involve my grandson in helping to create terrariums for gift making, when we are able to leave the house post Covid

Kind thanks for the bright spot of my last few weeks.

The teacher was fantastic. Shared lots of useful information and was super friendly. The class was great value for money. I thought we would make a tiny terrarium but it was a great size. The venue was good. But I would be nervous to go if it is a cold day as I imagine it would be cold. I definitely want to do another class.

Haylee was a fantastic Plant Whisperer! She was knowledgeable, bubbly and organised.

There was a great range of plants, stones and figurines for us to personalise our own terrariums.

The perfect introduction to terrariums for a not-so-green thumb. The class was the perfect length and was paced really well for people to navigate and execute the instructions given

I surprised my girlfriend for Valentines Day and thought Tipsy Terrarium would be a different yet experimental class to attend. The process was enthralling and we were given a deep insight into how these little plants function. The teacher was insightful, knowledgeable and made the whole class interactive plus we had beers by our side throughout the 2 hour class so who is going to argue with that!
Highly recommend this class!

The teacher was fantastic,
I've never been one to enjoy activities like this
and it was a surprise that my partner had planned for Valentines day.

By the end I was thoroughly happy with the experience and would recommend to friends and family.

Kitty Robertson Feb 2020


The perfect intro class to terrarium making. Teacher was super knowledgeable and explained things so they were easy to understand. All the info about the history of terrariums, why we make them that way and how to care for them, even where to put them in your home. There were heaps of different plants and decorations to choose from and my terrarium looked great. Would highly recommend as a solo activity, with a partner or with friends!

Great friendly teacher, clear instructions, great supplies. Only suggestion to get rid of plastic/rubber decorations (like bugs and crystals) and provide natural material decorations instead (glass, stone) etc.

Sherpa / Brett Greenway Jan 2020


Our teacher Hayley was really friendly and presented the Kokedama workshop in an easy to follow way. She made a demonstration then helped everyone individually with their Kokedama and to make them personalised how we wanted them. Hayley was right on time too which was great for us.
