Create your own mini “conservatory” to bring home, admire, and care for … and have fun doing so during this hands-on workshop!

In the spirit of celebrating the West Conservatory, our 32,000-square-foot garden under glass, join us at The Grove to arrange a garden under glass of your own—in the form of a terrarium! As you plant your terrarium, learn how to care for it so it thrives as your own miniature “conservatory” at home.
