Recent reviews of Private Closed Tropical Terrarium Workshop
- 5/5 from Cerina Talley-Ragsdale, attended Oct 2026: Vince led a Tropical Terrarium Workshop for our staff retreat, and we could not have asked for a better experience! He was incredibly knowledgeable, and his passion and creativity shined through in every detail. The setup was absolutely beautiful!!!! Our staff couldn’t stop taking pictures and talking about the experience for the rest of the day! Vince was so kind, patient, and welcoming, making everyone feel comfortable and engaged. Before we started, he asked thoughtful questions that encouraged us to reflect, think creatively, and bring a little of ourselves into our terrariums. That personal touch made the workshop feel especially meaningful. This was such a wonderful way for our team to connect, get creative, and make memories together. If you’re looking for a memorable staff retreat or team bonding activity, we cannot recommend Vince enough. 100/10....He was amazing!
- 5/5 from Kelly Kebede, attended Oct 2026: - Our team fun activity: building a terrarium. - The instructor was informative, clear, calm, and truly amazing. - The atmosphere transported us away from the office, feeling as though we were tucked away in a lush garden. - A great experience personalizing our own creations while learning about terrariums and the secrets to keeping them flourishing long-term.

Hello! I'm Vince, a coach and educator with over 15 years of experience spanning the US and Southeast Asia. My approach blends leadership development, team building, and personal growth, all infused with a dash of fun and creativity.During the pandemic, I discovered the transformative power of plant cultivation, which inspired my unique coaching style and led to the creation of Bambuhay. Combining 'Bamboo' and 'Buhay' (Filipino for 'Life'), Bambuhay reimagines personal growth by blending coaching with plant-based activities.I love personalizing experiences, whether it's a terrarium-building workshop for teams or one-on-one coaching sessions. These creative outlets offer a refreshing pause from our fast-paced world, allowing individuals and groups to reconnect, reflect, and grow together.Ready to grow and create together? Join one of my terrarium-building workshops and experience a unique blend of mindfulness, creativity, and team bonding!
