Recent reviews of Closed Eco-System Terrarium Class

  • 5/5 from Mia Clapham, attended Sep 2026: We had a great time building our terrariums! We had plenty of variety and plenty of supplies. The staff were really nice, and their instructions were clear and very helpful
  • 5/5 from Madalyn Friedman, attended Dec 2025: The class was very fun and there were a lot of great supplies. Because of the small space in a terrarium in progress and the fine nature of some of the items to include it would have been great to have some long tweezers to place or grab items. Other than that everything was well organized.

  • 5/5 from Jonathan, attended Sep 2022: The class was great! Our instructor was Monica and she was very passionate about plants and easy to talk to. The terrarium I made there is still alive so that's a good sign too. It was overall a great experience and surprisingly informative. Didn't get nearly as dirty as I thought I would either.
  • 5/5 from Mike Ashe, attended Jul 2022: I had a lot of fun making my own closed eco system terrarium. Monica was a friendly and patient teacher. All the materials needed were neatly placed on the table. There were lots of colorful decorations available but I opted for a more natural look with no bright colors. I also got lucky and was able to make an open glass terrarium w/ succulent. This was a very unique class and a fun diversion from my normal day to day activities.
