  • 5/5 from Johnny Garza, attended Oct 2026: Fun date night for a married couple of 15 years. We were celebrating our own “Teacher’s Appreciation Week” and Mrs. Emily made it fun, educational, and memorable! Definitely recommend for any plant lovers. We made one mason jar sized terrarium and one medium sized terrarium that are meant to last a lifetime
  • 5/5 from Kim McAuliffe, attended Oct 2026: What a beautiful shop! We learned so much and I love my new terrarium. Can’t wait to make another. It was a great class! Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Pollyanna Campbell, attended Jun 2026: It was such a fun evening! Emily was a fantastic instructor and a wealth of information. Really knows her stuff. Everything was very organized and ready to go for us to create our own, very personalized terrariums with lots of options at every step. No cookie cutter end results. Highly recommend. Super neat plant shop to boot!
