Just did their "enchanted terrarium" workshop and it was great! They provided all the materials and instruction, we had a lot of fun putting them together, and at the end of an hour we each went home with a beautiful new decorative plant feature that will last for many months - and some new knowledge about plant care, too! Would totally recommend.
