There was such a huge range of plants, crystal-like sands, rocks and even little figurines to choose from that all four bowls turned out completely different. Each one felt like its own little world! We also went home with easy care instructions. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely time making our own terrarium plants under Yoshi-san's guidance. Yoshi-san is very patient, knowledgable and provides plenty of materials, plants, etc. which makes the experience so full of enjoyment. Time did fly because all of us in the classroom had so much fun. I'm not great with arts at all but boy did my plants look great! It was easy to follow Yoshi-san's guidance and all I needed was a bit of creativity and imagination. I highly recommend this class to everyone. It's really enjoyable and you bring home with you beautiful plants!

I highly recommend doing this - every penny was worth it.

The materials provided were of great quality, and there were numerous options to personalise our terrariums, which made the final result feel truly unique. I walked away not just with a beautiful terrarium. This class is perfect for beginners, plant lovers, or anyone looking for a calming creative experience. Highly recommend!
