Interactive Terrarium/Paludarium Workshop

We’re planning a hands-on terrarium/paludarium building workshop where you can learn to create a beautiful land-and-water setup. Even better, we’ll be offering special packages for members to purchase a complete set up to follow along with the demonstration and take your very own terrarium/paludarium home with you below wholesale cost. Tank, plants, decorations and everything you need is included.
