Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, organizing a corporate team-building event, or simply looking for an afternoon of creativity, our garden class offerings are designed to inspire.

We combine high-quality plants, thoughtfully curated materials, and knowledgeable instructors to ensure every participant leaves with a project they’re proud of and memories that last. Our classes bring people together through creativity, community, and the joy of working with nature.

What is a Terrarium?

A terrarium is a miniature garden. It’s part art, part science, and completely enchanting. These small-scale ecosystems are built inside clear glass containers and often include a mix of soil, moss, decorative stones, and carefully chosen plants. Terrariums bring a touch of the natural world indoors, making them perfect for desks, windowsills, or cozy corners in your home.

There are two main types of terrariums:

1. Open Terrariums are ideal for plants that prefer airflow and lower humidity, such as succulents, cacti, and certain trailing plants. They require minimal watering and thrive in bright, indirect light.

2. Closed Terrariums create a self-sustaining moisture cycle. These are perfect for humidity-loving plants like ferns, mosses, and nerve plants. Watching droplets collect on the glass and return to the soil is part of the magic.

Terrariums aren’t just beautiful; they also provide a sense of calm and connection to nature. They encourage creativity, patience, and a deeper appreciation for the miniature ecosystems that live all around us. This makes them the perfect centerpiece for classes and parties where guests can explore their artistic side while learning something new.

Creative Terrarium Classes

Terrarium classes at Bath Garden Center are designed to be as flexible and engaging as possible. No two groups are alike, which is why we structure our classes to meet a wide variety of needs, interests, and ages.

A terrarium-building party is a unique and memorable way to celebrate a birthday. Children and adults alike love the hands-on creation: digging, planting, decorating, and choosing tiny accessories to personalize their miniature landscape. It’s an activity that encourages creativity and gives each guest a special takeaway.

Looking for a garden class that breaks away from the usual corporate outing? Terrarium classes are excellent for team building because they invite participants to relax, slow down, and tap into their creative thinking. Working with plants is inherently grounding, making it a refreshing alternative to traditional corporate events.

Terrarium making is enjoyable for every generation, making it a fantastic option for family events like reunions, holiday gatherings, or weekend activities. Each participant can design a terrarium that reflects their personality, and together, the group gets to share in a fun, relaxing experience.

Terrarium classes add a whimsical, nature-forward touch to pre-wedding celebrations. They are perfect for brides seeking something meaningful, creative, and different from the usual bridal parties. Guests leave with a living keepsake that will grow alongside cherished memories.
