What You Will Make
This is a workshop where moss meets macabre. Guests learn how to layer soil and pebbles, place plants so they thrive, and design a creepy landscape with eerie additions that capture nature's darker side. A professional guides every step while leaving room for each guest to get creative on their own, so no two terrariums look the same.
By the end of class, everyone has newfound knowledge about how terrariums work and how to nurture a small living ecosystem, plus a gothic creation that doubles as Halloween decor long after the party ends.
How the Session Runs
- Meet the instructor and pick your plants and pebbles
- Layer pebbles and soil to build the base of your scene
- Plant and arrange your eerie landscape
- Add creepy crawlies and spooky accents
- Take your gothic terrarium home to enjoy
Why It Works for Teams
Building a terrarium is calm, tactile and a little silly in a good way, which makes it easy creative team building for groups that want a seasonal theme without costumes or competition. Coworkers swap creepy crawlies, compare landscapes and laugh at each other's spooky additions. It slots neatly into a lunch break or an afternoon social, and planners looking for team building workshops often like that every guest leaves with something living to look after.
For managers searching for fun team building activities for adults at work in the run-up to Halloween, it offers a low-pressure, inclusive activity that works for introverts and extroverts alike.
Who It Suits
No experience is needed and beginners are welcome. The class suits individuals and couples, date ideas, team building events, birthdays, bachelorette parties and anyone looking for Halloween decor ideas or Halloween activities in San Francisco.
Caring for Your Terrarium
The instructor shares tips on how to nurture your haunting little ecosystem at home, so the terrarium keeps its eerie charm well after the Halloween party is over.
