PLANT PEOPLE SHOP Terrarium Workshops 📍 Midtown OKC | 💲 Varies, starting around $25 | All ages plantpeopleshop.com | @plantpeopleshop There’s something surprisingly soothing about digging into soil and arranging plants to build a little world of your own. At Plant People Shop, families can create living art together through DIY terrarium workshops . Whether you stop by during regular shop hours or join one of their themed monthly events, you’ll get everything you need to layer soil, select succulents and customize your glass vessel with rocks, moss and tiny décor. Owner Christina Carter has become a friend to our family over the years, thanks to our frequent visits to pick out new plants and build terrariums together. A former educator, Christina has a natural way of connecting with kids. She walks them through every step of the planting process with so much care and enthusiasm they don’t even realize how much they’re learning. Whether we’re choosing low-maintenance plants (a must at our house!), potting something new or crafting a tiny ecosystem, she makes sure my kids feel seen, heard and welcome. Her shop is more than a plant store; it’s a place where curiosity grows right alongside the greenery. ✅ Pro Tip: Stop by anytime for walk-in terrarium building, or mark your calendar for their special third-Friday evening events. Glass containers are available to purchase on site or you can bring your own.

Patterson knows how to keep things moving for short attention spans, and he’s created a format that’s engaging without being overwhelming.

Expect small class sizes, expert guidance and plenty of encouragement along the way. ✅ Pro Tip: Classes will be held on select weekends starting in late summer.
