HENRY, Ill. – Get creative and connect with nature at our Terrarium Workshop, a hands-on program taking place Friday, March 27, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Marshall-Putnam Extension Office, 509 Front Street, Suite 4, Henry, IL 61537.
This interactive workshop will guide participants through the process of creating their own terrarium—a small, enclosed garden featuring plants and moss. Terrariums are a fun and approachable way to bring greenery indoors, and they make great decorative pieces or gifts. During the program, participants will learn basic principles of terrarium design, plant selection, and care while assembling a unique miniature ecosystem to take home.
The workshop is designed for beginners and plant enthusiasts alike. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials needed to create a terrarium are provided. This program is made possible in part through support from a Thrivent grant, which covers a portion of participants’ registration costs.
Registration cost is $20. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required. Register online at go.illinois.edu/terrariumworkshop.
For questions or if you need an accommodation to participate, please contact Emily Hansen at emhansen@illinois.edu or 815-224-0896. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs.
