From informative talks and creative workshops to hands-on experiences like DIY container gardens, terrariums, and seasonal centerpieces, our skilled designers guide you step-by-step as you craft your own one-of-a-kind creations and share expert care tips to help them thrive at home.
For our younger gardeners, we offer fun, kid-friendly events such as terrarium making and gingerbread cookie decorating. These activities aren’t just entertaining; they nurture curiosity, teach the basics of plant care, and inspire a lifelong love of nature.
We also offer private classes for groups of 6–12 participants, perfect for team outings, friend get-togethers, birthday celebrations, family activities, clubs and community groups, and anyone looking for a personalized, hands-on creative experience.
Private classes can be scheduled on weekdays, weekends, or even after hours, whatever works best for your group. Simply reach out and we’ll help you plan the perfect creative gathering!
