This weeks new Terrarium Workshop grads…. Good Work!

By Sprout Home Chicago, October 28th, 2010, Chicago

Another lively group of people came to our most recent terrarium class last tuesday. Much fun was had, much was learned, and many new terrariums have new life in them. We really enjoy showing people that they can do this. Classes abound at both stores, Brooklyn and Chicago! Anyone can learn about the art of terrarium planting for sure, and we would love to show you how.
