It was especially fun to host it in our office — being surrounded by plants made the experience feel even more special. Monica was absolutely fabulous — so knowledgeable, engaging, and a joy to learn from. We had an amazing time building our terrariums and learned so much about plants and succulents along the way. It was such a peaceful, creative experience and truly the perfect break from the workday.
