Join us for a hands-on experience where you will build the ultimate, custom home for your plant collection!

Start with a brief introduction to the science behind terrariums and greenhouses—including why they work and how they help plants thrive. Then, dive into the hands-on part: assembling and constructing your very own stylish terrarium cabinet. You’ll receive a metal and glass cabinet, which you’ll then transform into a custom greenhouse complete with lighting, a fan, and a plant to kickstart your greenhouse collection. Leave with a piece that's both functional and beautiful, ready to showcase your greenery at home!
