Plant Terrarium Design Class - August 18th - 6PM

Unleash your inner gardener at our terrarium workshop!

Ready to cultivate your creativity and add a lush touch to your living space? We invite you to immerse yourself in the art of terrarium design with us at Gillespie Florists during our upcoming workshop on Monday, August 18th, at 6 PM. This event is designed as both an educational experience and a relaxing evening out—no prior gardening experience required!

As you enter our welcoming workshop space, you’ll be greeted by fellow plant enthusiasts, fostering a sense of community and shared inspiration. Our seasoned floral designer will begin by walking you through the basics of terrarium construction: selecting the right container, understanding drainage and layering, and choosing compatible plant varieties. You’ll discover how the right combination of soil, stones, charcoal, and moss creates a thriving ecosystem in miniature.

Each participant receives all the materials needed: a clear glass container, a curated assortment of healthy plants, decorative stones, moss, and essential accessories. For those eager to take things even further, browse our collection of exclusive upgrade accessories available for purchase during the class—think whimsical figurines, colorful sand, or seasonal accents. These touches allow you to personalize your terrarium and make it uniquely yours, whether you’re drawn to sleek modernity or playful woodland themes.

Throughout the class, you’ll gain expert insights not just on planting, but also on ongoing care and maintenance. Learn watering schedules, sunlight requirements, and troubleshooting common issues so your creation thrives long after the workshop ends. Our team is here to answer all your questions, making sure you leave with a finished piece and the confidence to grow your green thumb at home.

This workshop is more than just a crafting evening; it’s a chance to unwind, connect, and take pride in a living work of art designed by you. Whether you want to enhance your workspace, bring life to a side table, or gift your finished creation to someone special, you’ll walk away feeling empowered, recharged, and newly inspired by the world of plants.

Spaces are limited! Gather a friend or come solo and enjoy an evening filled with creativity, expert guidance, and lots of plant love. Don’t forget to secure your spot—just CLICK HERE, select August 18th as your pickup day, and 5:30 PM as your pickup time during checkout. We can’t wait to see your unique terrarium creation come to life!
