Why Terrariums Grow More Than Plants — They Grow Community

Hey y’all,

welcome back!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned on my plant journey, it’s that plants have the power to transform not just our spaces, but also our sense of connection. Terrariums in particular are like little ecosystems of joy — living art pieces that keep growing more beautiful with time. And here in Dallas and Fort Worth, we’re lucky to have a community that loves coming together to learn, create, and celebrate plants.

The Magic of Terrariums

Terrariums are more than just décor. They’re self-sustaining mini-worlds that thrive with minimal care, making them perfect for busy lives across Dallas and Fort Worth. When you add begonias to the mix, you get something truly special — their colors and textures light up the glass, and they flourish in the humid environment of a closed terrarium. It’s like having a thriving piece of nature right at home.

Plants Bring People Together

What excites me most about hosting workshops isn’t just the planting (though that’s always fun!) — it’s the community that forms around the table. In Dallas and Fort Worth, I’ve seen strangers bond over moss, swap plant tips, and leave not only with a terrarium, but with new friendships. These workshops are a chance to slow down, get creative, and be reminded that we grow better together.

Terrariums + Community in DFW

That’s why I’m so excited to host a Begonia Terrarium Workshop at Maple Branch Craft Brewery. You’ll create your own closed terrarium featuring two small, established begonias, substrate layers, moss, and decorative accents. I’ll guide you step by step, and you’ll leave with a living piece of art — one that will continue to grow more beautiful with time.

And the best part? You get to enjoy the relaxed, community vibe of a local brewery right here in Fort Worth while you build something beautiful.
