What's Included
- Step-by-step instructions from a plant expert

- Two easy-care succulents
- Soil, moss, pebbles and decorative materials
- Halloween-themed accents to make the design spooky or playful
- One completed terrarium to take home
What You Will Make
The instructor shows how to build a mini plant world in glass: layering soil, setting two succulents in place, tucking in moss and pebbles, and then styling the scene with fun Halloween-inspired accents. Every guest decides how spooky or playful their design should be, so no two terrariums look alike.
Glass terrariums are a satisfying build because every layer stays visible, from the pebbles at the bottom to the moss and plants on top.
The finished terrarium makes a fun seasonal centerpiece, which is why it doubles as one of the more memorable halloween party centerpieces. Because the plants are easy-care succulents, the piece can be enjoyed and cared for long after the holiday is over.
Who This Class Suits
The class is a great option for team bonding, family activities, birthday celebrations, or a creative seasonal experience for both adults and children. It is perfect for beginners, so it slots in easily among fall team building activities for coworkers who want something calm, hands-on and a little bit festive.
Adults and kids can attend together. Kids must be at least 5 years old, and an adult must accompany any attending kids and hold a separate ticket. Optional add-ons such as a geometrical glass vessel or fairy lights can be added at booking for an extra charge.
Occasions This Fits
- Halloween parties for offices, friends or families
- Seasonal creative team building sessions
- Birthday and bachelorette parties
- Date ideas for couples
- Gift experiences for mom, for her or for couples
About the Studio
The class is hosted by a women-owned living-art studio whose name comes from the Greek word for flower. The founder was inspired by the wall gardens she admired during her years living in Paris, and on returning to the United States she turned that passion for green art into a design studio that creates planters, terrariums and zen gardens as unique as nature itself. The studio uses a wide assortment of easy-care plants and now has locations in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Its teachers have hosted plant, terrarium and floral workshops for corporate groups, both in person and over video, and across all of its classes the studio holds a 4.9 average from 214 guest reviews.
Tips for Organizers
Pricing is per guest, so the total scales with your final headcount and every guest goes home with their own finished piece. Groups that would rather stay at the office can ask about having the instructor travel to them within about 30 miles of the studio, with the travel fee billed separately after the booking is paid. The studio also runs virtual versions of many of its workshops, with kits shipped to remote guests for an added shipping charge per kit.
