About this Event

Make a beautiful terrarium for your home--or the perfect gift for Mother's Day! Whether you're a houseplant expert adding to your collection or a beginner wanting a low-maintenance/high success system, this class will appeal to all plant lovers. Making terrariums allows science and art to unite in an incredible way. Join biotechnologist/musician/plant enthusiast Rosetta Sellers-Varela as she teaches you the biology behind what makes a miniature ecosystem work, and then you'll build a living piece of art that reflects your personal style and creativity. The cost of the class includes all materials needed--make one and take one!
