Flowers and Plants Classes - Oakland, and Experience Gifts

Fun Flowers and Plants classes in Oakland (Bay Area)

Fun things to do in Oakland this weekend

Engaging with plants and flowers is a great way to feel more mindful as you focus on smaller details like the placement of plants in a succulent terrarium or the arrangement of colors in a beautiful floral bouquet. During one of these Oakland workshops, you will immediately start to feel more positive and grounded. 

If you are looking for fun things to do in Oakland, floristry courses are one of the most creative ideas to bring some vitality and zest into your life. Learn how to shape freshly cut blooms into a flower centerpiece or flower bouquet perfect for decorating your home and impressing your dinner guests. Weave delicate flowers and leaves into a gorgeous DIY flower crown that you can wear at a wedding or other special event. Bring some creativity into your December with Christmas gift ideas like a fresh or dried floral wreath making class. Whichever way you would like to interact with flowers, we’ve got you covered!

Perhaps you are more of a green thumb, interested in caring for and maintaining your unique creations. If that’s the case, learn how to build a terrarium with an expert botanist. You can learn how to arrange beautiful succulent terrarium layers that will help your little plants thrive or even try out a cactus terrarium workshop and create a dry, sustainable mini-ecosystem. If you have a loved one who is interested in Japanese culture, make their day with a DIY Kokedama experience gift, where they will learn how to make this unique and interesting plant ball using moss and string to hold it all together.  

Rejuvenating floristry workshops and local experiences  

Gather a group of family and friends and unwind at one of our laidback classes. Learn how to make wedding floral arrangements and decorations with your bachelorette party and get everyone even more excited for your big day. Try out a DIY terrarium team building activity and get your colleagues to play with plants and dirt - a nice change from laptop screens and meetings on Zoom! Flower and plant classes are also some of the best things to do in Oakland with Mom for Mothers Day. With these Mothers Day gift experiences, you can enjoy a casual workshop with Mom, creating a unique gift together instead of just buying one! 

Join our talented, local florists and indoor plant experts as they passionately take you through one of these fun workshops. With fresh seasonal flowers, foliage, and tools provided, you will discover everything you need to know to continue creating incredible floral arrangements at home. Looking for something a little unique? Find out more about composition and color with an Ikebana class and learn all about the Japanese art of flower arranging. Live more sustainably with the skills you gain at a gardening class and learn how to grow your own fruit and vegetables. There is so much to explore with these Oakland activities!

Fun indoor activities 

Interacting with nature can be such a freeing experience that can help you focus on the world around you. Bring that good feeling inside and go back to your roots with these indoor activities. Surrounded by the elements, you will soon recognize that you feel calmer, more positive, and ready to get creative! There are few hobbies out there that can boost your wellbeing and mood quite like our virtual floristry classes.

Even if you can’t leave the house or would prefer to try an activity from home, our live streaming classes with DIY floristry kits will allow you to flex your green thumbs from the comfort of your own living room. Try an online floristry course and be inspired by your own home decor as you create your personalized arrangement. Or even get your mini botanists involved with terrarium kits for kids! Whatever you choose, a floristry class will encourage you to feel more positive and creative with the help of beautiful flowers and adorable plants!
