Lunch & Learn Terrarium Workshop

Author: Holly Bowman

Planning Unit: Bracken County CES

Major Program: Community Gardens and Horticulture Therapy

Plan of Work: Healthy Lifestyles for Bracken County Residents

Outcome: Initial Outcome

To follow Bracken County’s plan of work to improve health and well-being our office offered a Lunch & Learn Terrarium Workshop. This workshop was offered to everyone in the county at no cost. The goal was to bring the community and families together as it was held during spring break. A My Plate recipe was served while I went over the benefits of Horticulture Therapy before beginning the terrarium demonstration. I stated the stress relieving and mood benefits associated with horticulture. Once everyone was finished, we began to learn about the different layers and plants that go into a terrarium or dish garden. At this time everyone was able to build their own personal terrarium. Everyone was able to receive three or more plants of their choosing, instructions on succulent care, and decorations. This program hosted 47 people with all reasonable efforts. Participates left very happy and appreciative many stated, “they cannot wait to do this again” and one said, “I now know how not to kill my succulents”. Overall, this was a great received program with family and community bonding all ages.
