Recent reviews of Self-Sustaining Terrarium Workshop
- 5/5 from Jeremy Hu, attended Oct 2026: Maria was such a good teacher! It was an engaging and educating class.
- 5/5 from Nancy Melissas, attended Jul 2026: Our group of six adults thoroughly enjoyed this class! It was a fun activity to celebrate a birthday and we really like the terrariums we made!
- 5/5 from Betty Kreuzberg, attended May 2026: I joined the self-sustaining terrarium workshop with Fatih not really knowing what to expect, but I honestly had such a good time. Fatih made the whole class feel very comfortable and easy to follow. He explained everything step by step without making it feel too technical, which I appreciated because I’m definitely not a plant expert. I really liked learning how the layers work together and how the terrarium basically creates its own little ecosystem. The whole workshop felt very relaxing and creative, and it didn’t feel rushed at all. By the end, I left with a terrarium that actually looked beautiful enough to display at home. I’ve already gotten compliments on it from friends. Definitely recommend this workshop if you want to try something different and creative for an hour.
- 5/5 from Dwayne House, attended May 2026: The guidance during the workshop was amazing. We learned how to choose the right plants for a low-maintenance closed terrarium.Will try next time geometric jar!
- 5/5 from Ollie Watkins, attended May 2026: I really appreciated the step-by-step explanation of drainage layers, activated charcoal, and plant care. It made the whole process easy and fun.
- 5/5 from Kate Austin, attended May 2026: I booked the Self-Sustaining Terrarium Workshop for our team, and it was a really peaceful break from the usual workday. The class was easy to follow, even for people who had never made anything with plants before. The instructor explained the process clearly and shared just enough about how closed terrariums work to make it interesting without feeling too technical. Everyone got to build something personal, and the room felt very calm and focused. It was a simple, thoughtful team activity, and people were genuinely happy to take their terrariums home afterward.
- 2/5 from Christina Mucci, attended Mar 2026: We were very excited, based on the description of the class that was written. However, was very disappointed after spending $99 for each of us to make a small terrarium that took us a total of 15 minutes to assemble. I was even more upset to find out that I could have bought the same exact DIY kit on Amazon for $25. The instructor was very nice, but she was running the place by herself. There were 3 totally different classes going on in the same room, and she had to jump around to help everyone. Very upset and broke
- 5/5 from Gabriel Cruz, attended Feb 2026: I had an amazing time. The teacher there was exceptional!
- 4/5 from Rebecca Farmer, attended Dec 2025: The class was interesting. It was just the two of us. Our instructor, Fatih was very informative, helpful and patient. I would’ve given this 5 stars, but there was one thing lacking-bags! This was quite an expensive experience and at the end of the session, we weren’t provided with a bag to carry our terrarium and the kit. It was a huge hassle for us to hold the items in our hands and maneuver through the streets of New York City around the holidays with throngs of people bumping into us. A carry bag would’ve been the ideal way to send us off with our items. Hopefully, carry bags will be provided for future classes
- 5/5 from Aegina Barnes, attended Jun 2025: Fantastic workshop with Fatih -- so much fun, and I'm so pleased with my terrarium! One of the attendees the day I went was celebrating her birthday, and they gave her the loveliest cutting board, which I thought was incredibly sweet. I would certainly do other workshops here!
- 5/5 from Luis Taveras, attended Jun 2025: 10/10 would recommend. A thousand thanks to Fatih for helping create a moment we’ll never forget. I don’t even know where to begin because this class was truly unforgettable! Not just because of the incredible content, but because my boyfriend used this terrarium class as the most beautiful and creative way to propose to me! My fiance signed up for the Self-Sustaining Terrarium class because I love plants and were looking for something fun and hands-on to do together. The class itself was phenomenal!!! The instructor was so knowledgeable, warm, and engaging. They guided us through each step with such care and made sure everyone felt comfortable, even if you had no prior experience. All the materials were high-quality and beautifully laid out, and I loved how we got to personalize our little ecosystems. Now here’s where it gets extra special. Near the end of the session, while my fiance and I were recording our review of everything, our instructor made sure to put his phone in a place where I wouldn't notice so that he could record another point of view of the proposal. He did this without us asking. Which meant the world to us!! The terrarium we made now sits on our windowsill, thriving and glowing like a little symbol of love, growth, and care. If you're looking for a unique date idea, a memorable gift, or just an inspiring way to connect with nature and creativity, this class is it!!!
- 5/5 from Racheal Rediker, attended May 2025: My husband and i did a medium size terrarium. The teacher was incredible. He was kind, and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to take them home. The teacher even gifted us a small terrarium because it was our 10 year anniversary that day. It is an awesome experience and a must have!
