"had an absolute blast building my open terrarium and sipping wine with my best friend. it was a fabulous yet relaxing girls night out, and my terrarium is so cute! i feel like it looks like a professional put it together."

★★★★★
"the amount of supplies and items made available for the cost of the class were extremely reasonable — basically as much as you need to fill your terrarium bowl, 3 mini plants, and guidance and support along the way."

questions?
how long is a class?
about 90 minutes, start to finish. come 5-10 minutes early to grab your seat and pour a drink
is it byob?
yes — wine glasses are on us. your hands stay busy the whole time, so you don't need much beyond a drink. a light snack is fine; we just ask you skip the full platters, since table space stays busy
do i need any experience?
none at all. most people walk in having never built one. we walk everyone through it step by step, then you go at your own pace with us floating around to help
can kids come?
yes — kids do great with a grown-up alongside them or on their own. if a parent and child share one terrarium, that's one seat. byob is for adults 21+.
where do we park?
we're at 46 east main street, suite 103, in downtown somerville. there's a free garage right nearby
what if i need to reschedule?
reschedule yourself up to 48 hours before class, or cancel up to 72 hours before, right from your confirmation email. questions? we're at events@spottedleaf.co
want the room to yourself?
birthdays, girls' nights, team offsites, showers — book the room for your group and everyone builds their own. up to 20 guests, byob, 90 minutes, and the music is yours.
