Experiences
Dig in and get your hands a little dirty in the most satisfying way. The Dig In: Make Your Own Succulent Terrarium workshop is a relaxed, hands-on experience where every guest designs and plants their own living succulent terrarium inside a clear glass vessel. It is one of the most popular and beginner-friendly team building activities in the San Francisco Bay Area, and absolutely no green thumb is required.
What You'll Make
Step into a world of calm, creativity, and lush greenery as you craft your own miniature succulent sanctuary. Guided by an experienced terrarium artist, you'll layer soil, stone, and moss, arrange healthy succulents, and finish with curated decorative accents to create a tiny living landscape that lasts for months on a desk, windowsill, or shelf. Along the way you'll pick up simple, practical care tips so your terrarium keeps thriving long after the workshop ends.

A Mindful, Screen-Free Break
Working with live plants is naturally grounding. Arranging soil, stone, and greenery by hand has a calming, almost meditative quality that helps people slow down and reconnect. For teams, it's a refreshing change from video calls and conference rooms; for friends and families, it's a relaxed way to spend quality time together. Everyone leaves recharged, with a living reminder of the experience to keep nearby.
Perfect For
This workshop is a favorite for corporate team building activities, team bonding, offsites, birthdays, bachelorette parties, bridal showers, holiday parties, and milestone celebrations. Private bookings for groups of 10 or more are ideal for teams who want a shared, creative experience, while smaller groups enjoy an easygoing, hands-on outing. It suits total beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike.
How the Experience Flows
From the moment the plant bar is set up, the session is designed to feel easy and welcoming. Guests are greeted, walked through the basics of terrarium design, then choose their vessel and settle in to build. Step by step, the artist demonstrates healthy drainage, soil and moss layering, succulent placement, and finishing touches. There's plenty of room to be creative and make each design your own, and because everything is guided, even first-timers finish with a result they're proud of.
Mobile & Flexible
This is a mobile, come-to-you experience across the San Francisco Bay Area. The terrarium team brings everything to your office, home, venue, or event space and sets up a tidy, all-inclusive plant bar, so your guests simply show up and create. Sessions are easy to combine with food, drinks, or the rest of your event programming, and the team will help tailor the experience to your group size and occasion.
