Guest List

Write all the names of the attendees in your group so we can seat you together!

build a living terrarium from scratch — and take it home the same night.

pick your glass, layer your sand, choose your plants from 20+ options, and finish it however you want from a wall of 40+ decor types. no two leave the same. no experience needed.

an open terrarium is the most forgiving thing we build. it can handle low light, so it'll live somewhere an enclosed one won't — a desk, a shelf, a north-facing room. water it every one to three weeks depending on the plants you pick. it's also where you get the most room to design, since there's no lid to work around.

what's included

  • your choice of two glass vessels
  • sand drainage layer — pick your color
  • perlite + charcoal
  • sphagnum moss
  • terrarium substrate
  • 3 plants, chosen from 20+ types on the shelf
  • decor from 40+ options
  • tools, and someone showing you how to use them
  • a take-home care card

what to bring

just your drink of choice. byob — wine glasses are on us. a light snack is welcome; think fruit, chips, or cookies. we ask you skip full platters, since table space stays busy.

who it's for + age policy

first-timers, date nights, get togethers, families, kids, girls' nights, and everyone in between. no experience needed. BYOB for 21+; under-21 guests are more than welcome.

what to expect

about 90 minutes. come 5–10 minutes early to grab a seat and pour a drink. we walk the room through each layer together, then you build at your own pace with us floating around to help. we're at 46 e main street, suite 103, downtown somerville — free garage parking nearby.

rescheduling + cancellations

plans change. reschedule yourself up to 48 hours before class or cancel up to 72 hours before, right from your confirmation email — no email chain required. questions? events@spottedleaf.co

booking for a group?

up to 10 seats can go in one order, and we'll seat you together. more than 10? you'd have most of the room anyway — better to have all of it. host a private party and the greenhouse is yours: your group, your pace, no strangers at the table.
