In conjunction with Scraposaurs, we have a cool project for you! Create your own small prehistoric ecosystem. Experienced Garden staff will help you build a terrarium, choose easy care plants (that were around in prehistoric times), and miniature dinosaur figurines. Once the terrarium is created and the lid is closed, you can simply sit back and watch the plants grow inside: the ultimate low maintenance garden!
You don’t need to bring a thing – various terrarium containers, their lids, the materials needed (such as soil and charcoal) and a variety of fun tropical plants will be provided. This is a great family-friendly DIY project or an excellent Father’s Day gift. Registration fee is for one terrarium to make and take home at the end of the workshop.
