“The best time we had… and this big kid has asked ‘Daddy’ if she can have a similar experience. Thank you again for having the girls around for this quite literally last-minute birthday activity, which, as you said, is full of STEM fun! We are very much looking forward to our next visit.”

Such a lovely experience for the group of 9 girls celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Creative, relaxing, informative and fun! Beautiful creations to take home at the end. The added bonus of learning about other plants around the shop and playing with the cute dog, Noel, was the cherry on top. Thanks again – highly recommend!
Laura
We had a wonderful visit for my daughter’s birthday and were delighted with our little gardens! Such a gorgeous shop, lovely folk and a great workshop. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back and will hopefully do the terrarium workshop soon! Thank you for the most lovely birthday treat!
