Step into a Terrarium Garden Party, where creativity meets nature in a light, relaxed, and inspiring atmosphere. This hands-on workshop invites you to slow down, get your hands in the soil, and explore the beauty of biophilic design—the art of bringing nature into your everyday space in meaningful, beautiful ways.
Led by Jessica Farrand, a rare tropical plant specialist and seller with a passion for helping others connect with the natural world, you’ll be guided step-by-step as you create your own miniature living ecosystem using lush plants, natural textures, and your own personal touch. Along the way, Jessica will share plant care tips, design inspiration, and insights from her experience working with unique and collectible plants.
Whether you’re brand new to plants or already a collector, this beginner-friendly experience is designed to be both fun and calming. Enjoy light bites and refreshments as you create, connect, and unwind in a welcoming garden-party atmosphere.
You’ll leave not only with a one-of-a-kind terrarium, but also with the confidence and inspiration to bring more life, creativity, and natural beauty into your home.
