Join us for a terrarium workshop where we build a tiny garden in a glass container - which could double as a home for a little wild friend 🐌 For teens, adults, and seniors

Ever wanted to build your own world? Are you fascinated by terrariums or succulents? Come to our Adult & Teen terrarium workshop! We'll supply the containers, the succulents, and the rest of the supplies. All you need to bring is yourself and your imagination! For teens, adults, and seniors 

Terrariums are miniature gardens housed inside small glass containers. As fully functioning plant ecosystems, they’re mostly self-sustaining with the plants watering themselves through transpiration and condensation. Science! 

This program was inspired by our All Alexandria Reads Adult Nonfiction Book choice: The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey
