Recent reviews of Closed Terrarium Class

  • 5/5 from Alicia Chen, attended Jul 2026: Allegra was great! Offered us Turkish coffee and a great variety and selection of materials for our terrariums. We had a blast creating our unique masterpiece.
  • 1/5 from Ritu Tek, attended Jul 2026: This was the worst class ever. I'll also write a yelp review. The instructor just handed us kits and just left did not provide us any instructions on how to build a terrarium. We were just on our table trying to figure it out on our own. It did not feel like a class and if I wanted to get a kit, I could've done that on my own sitting home. I didn't need to pay so much for a class.
  • 4/5 from Amy Lin, attended Aug 2025: We had the closed terrarium class for a company office event. It was really fun seeing how people were designing their terrariums. Colby was really kind and patient with us. She brewed some turkish tea and coffee and passed out some turkish delights for us to enjoy while we waited for more kits to be delivered. The class itself is definitely 5 out of 5 but there were some issues we encountered. We were not able to start class on time. We initially booked for 15 guests but there was only 9 kits available. We had to wait about 25 minutes for the extra kits, glass jars and ivy to be delivered. This unfortunately affected some of my colleagues since they had prior commitments and must leave by a certain time, thus they were not able to complete their terrariums. We also had 1 extra person who joined (total group size is now 16 people). To pay for the extra person, I requested for an email link to be sent so I can get an official receipt. However, ClassBento somehow automatically charged my credit card without my authorization, and also for the wrong amount. My credit card was charged 89 USD but the ClassBento email I received invoiced me for 84 USD. Both were incorrect. The addition of 1 extra person should have been 79 USD, since I already booked for 15 guests. I also had a ClassBento voucher that I wanted to use before it expired. I talked to Colby, who provided her boss, Kadir's phone number. This allowed me to directly call and talk to him to resolve the issue. Kadir said he was able to reverse the charge of 89 USD (refund will take 5 to 10 biz days) but for some reason the ClassBento invoice link wouldn't allow him to change of the additional guest fee from 84 USD to 79 USD. I had to use the ClassBento voucher to make it 79 USD. In conclusion, the workshop class is a 5. But the issues encountered (billing and organization) would be a 2.5. Total 3.75, round up to 4.
  • 5/5 from Samuel Morris, attended Feb 2025: Colby was amazing! Wife and I both loved it.. really fun and different to date
  • 4/5 from Jonathan C, attended Feb 2025: It was my first time attending such a workshop as I was interested in making a closed terrarium. The venue was a bit small but managed to fit in multiple various workshops like rug tufting and Turkish mosaic lamps. Mr. Scientist was very friendly and enthusiastic. All materials were provided in making the terrarium. He walked us through the steps in making the terrarium. Not sure if there was some confusion on my part when purchasing the workshop, but I thought this would be a closed terrarium class, as advertised. The class was told it would be an open terrarium due to the plant not being able to survive in closed terrarium conditions. I understand, as I wouldn't want the plant to die on me. After the class, I received an email to review the class, and noticed that I did, in fact, purchase a closed terrarium class. I feel the class should be advertised properly so I could attend the workshop and create what I want to instead of being told something different when I arrived at the studio. Overall, I had fun and it was nice experience.
  • 5/5 from Emily Nguyen, attended Jan 2025: OMG for our class we made these beautiful terrariums in glass containers and the process was simple and enjoyable. I liked the hands-on experience and the way that everyone got to customize their terrariums to make them special! Mr. Scientist is a very fun and knowledgeable guide and he made the experience ten times more enjoyable! I would definitely recommend his class to anyone who wants a fun and relaxing time!
  • 5/5 from Marisa Chong Ai Ping Bautista, attended Jan 2024: Mr Scientist was super welcoming and nice. We enjoyed his truthfulness and gracious knowledge sharing about Sciene and how to build a sustainable eco system for plants and little creatures in a closed glass bottle. He also has other talents like wire bonsai tree and rug tufting.
  • 5/5 from Aditi Srinivas, attended Oct 2023: This class was awesome! I booked a private class with Mr. Scientist for a corporate team building event. We had a great time learning about these closed ecosystems and we also got to take home beautiful terrariums. I highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Savannah Christiansen, attended Jan 2023: This was a really fun activity. My wife and I really enjoyed the activity and our terrariums look super cute
  • 5/5 from Savannah, attended Jan 2023: This class was wonderful, engaging, and hands-on. We were provided with everything we needed to make a decent-sized terrarium. Our instructor was so kind and passionate about what he teaches. He started by giving us a little history of terrariums, explained how they worked, and then we dove in. I'm very happy with this class!
  • 5/5 from Debbie Mancuso, attended Dec 2022: I really enjoyed the Closed Terrarium class! Took the class with my bestie. Our class was outdoors in a lovely park, set up on a table under oak trees. The ambiance added to the experience. We learned about the history and science behind terrariums, and then combined materials to make our own terrarium in a really cute jar. All the materials were well-organized and seemed high-quality. We even got a string of fairy lights to put in our terrariums which made it into a festive holiday decor. We also got to meet two other students who were both kind and friendly. Abdulkadir was a great teacher, and very knowledgeable about terrariums and plants. This is the second class we have taken with him, and I would definitely recommend his classes. I also think this would be a really fun team-building activity to do with a work team.
  • 5/5 from Josh Leung, attended Dec 2022: Mr Botanist was a wonderful booking! He was very responsive and more than accommodating to do a hybrid in person + virtual lesson for my team of 30. The class went well, and everyone seemed to enjoy making their terrarium. Would recommend to a friend to book!
  • 5/5 from Priyanka Nagaraju, attended Dec 2022: I loved the entire session. Mr Botonist was very friendly and explained everything in detail. He gave us everything you need for a beginner class and mosses were really fresh. Enjoyed the coffee too. I highly recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Christine Klusas, attended Dec 2022: We really enjoyed the class! The instructor was amazing! I highly recommend taking the class! :)
  • 5/5 from Allison Gordon, attended Dec 2022: The team had a wonderful time at the class! Abdulkadir was a great and lively teacher, it was a perfect activity, and a lovely time together.
  • 5/5 from Peter Nee, attended Dec 2022: Mr. Botanist was awesome! I had scheduled a class for my GFs birthday for a group of 8 (we are ~30 years old) and we all had an amazing time. It was fun, educational, and Mr. Botanist was so accommodating. Honestly I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested
  • 5/5 from Martina Lam, attended Nov 2022: Amazing class for our leadership offsite. Abdul was very accommodating, make great jokes, and taught us a lot about plants. We've never had a class like this before and will def recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience.
  • 5/5 from Kjersten Elias, attended Nov 2022: This was a well run workshop. Kadir was friendly and entertaining. He had background music and icebreakers and fun facts about plants and trivia questions with prizes. Our team had a great time setting up our terrariums and he had a lot of decorations to choose from to make them even more personalized. 10/10 would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Everest Damaschino, attended Oct 2022: He did a fantastic job! Was entertaining and informative, we learned a lot and had fun while doing so. All materials provided by him were excellent and made for a great experience. Would recommended to all co-workers and friends.
  • 5/5 from Kayla Newton, attended Oct 2022: Abdulkadir was amazing - full of energy and extremely nice! There is no doubt of his passion for plants and the environment. Went above and beyond with our group function and would highly recommend! 10/10 would rebook.
  • 5/5 from Ya-Wen Lu, attended Sep 2022: Kadir led a private Terrarium Class for our team building activity. It was a fantastic experience for our group of 15. He started off with an introduction to the history of terrariums and then went into the science behind a closed terrarium. Kadir's love for plants and nature was obvious and was clearly reflected in his enthusiasm to teach and share this wonderful experience with all of us. He was courteous, on time, and made set up and take down a smooth process. I would highly recommend Kadir's Closed Terrarium Class!
  • 5/5 from Tim Moore, attended Aug 2022: Great experience with our group of 7. Kept the class active with questions, facts of closed terrarium experiments, and pointers to keep our plants healthy. Totally recommend this to anyone who is interested.
  • 5/5 from Desiree Elsharif, attended Aug 2022: Great fun! Lots of information, hands-on experience and enjoyable team event. Thank you so much
  • 5/5 from Katherine Binder, attended Jul 2022: An incredible instructor who was passionate about his work, thoughtful about how to cater the experience to our group, and clear in his communication. Our group left with an interest in terrariums and an incredibly beautiful keepsake. Thank you, Mr. Botanist!
  • 5/5 from Colton Western, attended Jul 2022: This was a fun class! I’d 100% recommend taking it especially if you or someone you know have a green thumb. Kadir was a great teacher and his knowledge of the history and science behind terrariums made it that much more fun. My girlfriend and I are excited to have our own terrariums to take care of now, thanks Kadir!
  • 5/5 from Melissa Baxter, attended Jul 2022: Kadir was an incredible, friendly and extremely knowledgeable instructor. He had all the supplies, if not extra and even gave us bonus supplies plus the experience was educational. He knew so much about plants, he really engaged with us and offered suggestions. I can’t wait to do another class with him once my girlfriends are back in town.
  • 5/5 from Mark Levy, attended Jul 2022: Our teacher, Nurullah (Abdulkadir's brother) was amazing. He facilitated a fun and interactive class/workshop for our group of 31 in our office. He provided all the materials, and including sensors for a few lucky participants. It seems that everyone overall had a great experience not only building terrariums but also learning about their history, the science behind their design as well as practical applications. Overall this experience was a great value, and I would love to it again.
  • 5/5 from Wendy Blumenschein, attended Jul 2022: Kadir led us in a teambuilding event for 22 people. He has a lot of knowledge and a friendly easy-going nature that makes the experience fun for all. Our group tends to be fairly quiet, but this event had everyone talking, asking questions, and interacting with one another. We had a great time! On the organizational side, Kadir was very flexible with location and timing. Planning this event was very easy. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to do a fun team building event!
  • 5/5 from Sara Wang, attended Jun 2022: Great teacher. Clear. Personable. We had so much fun and made such cute products! Thank you!

  • 5/5 from She-Rene, attended May 2022: Mr. Botanist brought a lot of positive energy and passion to our terrarium event. Our team of 20 had a fun time and shared lots of laughs and good vibes.
  • 5/5 from Sharon Huang, attended Apr 2022: Kadir was incredibly friendly and accommodating. He took the time to get to know each of us and creating an environment for us to get to know other participants in the public class. He came fully prepared with everything we needed…and more! The class was educational, hands-on, and so much fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun activity for date or family outing. We learned the history of terrarium, the science on how different parts of the terrarium work, and different types of terrariums. We had an amazing time with Kadir and will absolutely be taking his class again in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, Kadir!
  • 5/5 from David Wang, attended Apr 2022: Amazing, interactive, and educative class! Mr. Botanist was a very friendly, great instructor and we had so much fun making our custom terrariums. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 from Kazuko Takahashi, attended Mar 2022: The instructor was very friendly approachable, and enthusiastic, and help everyone to engage and enjoy the activity. It was nice to learn the history of terrarium and eco-system too. I would encourage everyone who likes or does not have green thumbs. This class was also soothing to touch the soils under the sun.
  • 5/5 from Andy Shum, attended Feb 2022: Very good teacher and fun. Great educational experience and helpful with building your terrarium. Kadir is really attentive to each student even though it is a group class and you can tell that he gives his all. He encourages creativity and is genuinely interested in ideas. Provides all the supplies you need and generous with the materials. Don’t hesitate! Also the park was a beautiful place for the class.
  • 5/5 from Kayla Quock, attended Dec 2021: The Botanist is a great teacher! Super friendly, informative, and gave a surprise musical performance. :)
