"Me and my daughter attended the class and don't know how the 2 hours passed so quickly. It was fun. We practiced how to make the designs on the cupcakes and later added colours to the whipping cream and made our designs on the cupcakes. Our teacher Jess was amazing, she helped us when we weren’t able to get it right."

Create a little slice of paradise for your mum to take home
Whether your mother is renowned for her green thumbs or struggles to keep a cactus alive, a terrarium making class is a unique and thoroughly enjoyable Mother’s Day gift idea.
Terrariums are beautiful miniature gardens, housed in decorative glass containers. These tiny jungles are gorgeous to look at and breathe life and colour into any home – which means they are guaranteed to bring a big smile to your mum’s face!
As well as introducing some gorgeous greenery into your home, terrariums also make perfect gifts for Mum as they are very easy to maintain, so even if your much-loved mother has a very busy schedule, she won’t have any trouble keeping her terrarium flourishing.
During your soul-soothing terrarium crafting workshop, you and Mum will be given all the materials you need to create your own little miniature landscapes. It’s the perfect way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature – and each other. And the best part of all? You will be able to take your stunning mini oasis home with you at the end of the session, so memories of your magical Mother’s Day will blossom for years to come!
