I received this experience as a gift, and it was really good fun! The location was easy to get to in the centre of Bristol. Sam was a great teacher, very knowledgeable and excited to be talking about plants. Would fully recommend this experience for plant lovers as well as people who normally wouldn't own plants as the terrariums are very easy to keep!

I really enjoyed this experience. Sam was a fantastic leader and very knowledgable, taking time to guide us through each step and explain why we were doing it. His passion for plants is very apparent. Working alongside a few other people kept the experience intimate & meant that we could ask questions and take our time. I learnt a lot about houseplants and terrarium care, and I feel very proud of what I have created.
A great way to spend the evening, I really recommend this course!!
Sam was a great host, full of great information and clearly very passionate about plants! Would definitely recommend
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of creating my very own terrarium under the knowledgeable guidance of tutor Sam. It was a diverse group of participants and we all made the terrariums easily, with each one reflecting individuality.
Sam was charming and friendly and clear in his instructions. He shouldn’t feel anxious about presenting as he is the expert and we the complete novices and we trusted him to guide us through the creative process with pleasing outcomes. Thank you. Charlotte

I had so much fun, my friend and I left the workshop beaming and in great moods. We learnt a lot about terrariums and really enjoyed making our own. Relaxed & cheeky I'd definitely suggest this workshop.
Thoroughly enjoyable experience with a knowledgeable fun host. The group was very interactive which in part was down to the host breaking the ice between us. I would definitely do this again.

Sam was very welcoming and very keen to share his passion for plants. We had plenty of time to go through all the steps to set up our vivarium and understand all the underlying reasons for it. Very nice experience for a couple, a family or a group of friends
What a great workshop! Sam was a fantastic host. Entertaining and very knowledgeable. My daughter and I were so pleased with our terrarium. It has pride of place on the coffee table!!
We had a great time at the workshop. I’d never done anything like this before and Sam made the process fun, he also shared some handy tips on plant care. Terrariums are so nice to have in the home and having one you made yourself is even more rewarding :)

Great session and brilliant host
This was such a fantastic experience which was completely made by Sam the host! Sam not only made it fun but also taught us about looking after our terrariums. For someone who lacks creativity I assumed I wouldn’t like the end product but I absolutely love it! Sam talks you through each step and gives you tips to make it look amazing. Such a great weekend activity/ present for someone. Deciding how many terrariums I can have in one place now!!
Absolutely fantastic workshop and my terrarium looks great on my bathroom shelf!
It was a fun experience although quite pricey, I would recommend it to a friend and the advice provided was great
Amazing Worksop - would definitely do it again!
A fantastic experience. Sam was friendly and very knowledgeable, thoroughly enjoyed the course and have already had a go at making my own terrarium at home! Thank you so much.
Absolutely loved from start to finish, felt so welcome, fantastic host, perfect morning loved it all!!
Lovely experience with very friendly staff and people. Sam was very informative on how to make our terrariums and was always there if you needed any help! We had a nice selection of plants to use which were lush, they were really healthy too. Me and my girlfriend had the best time and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone!
Really enjoyed the evening and such a great host.
Sam and Emma were so so nice! I felt super welcomed even though I didn't come in a pair. I really appreciated all the extra bits like the mulled wine, the tote, the notepad and pen and the choco coins!! Sam guessed where I was from as well which blew my mind and said "thank you" in bulgarian!! But yes I love my terrarium and learned a lot in this workshop. This is definitely one of the best Christmas gifts I've had (thanking my boyfriend) and yeah looking forward to visiting the new mila cafe!
We had a fantastic time with Sam @ Mila. It was a fantastic mix of interesting, informative and fun. There was a great atmosphere in our group and everyone looked to thoroughly enjoy themselves plus came home with a beautiful Terrarium!
Highly recommend and would love to visit again, plus the shop is super cool & beautiful
Had a really good time. Sam made it really comfortable to do the experience with the other people. You're given the independence to make your terrarium your own but can ask anytime for help/advice or general questions! Was super fun and had a great evening. Would definitely go again!
Had an absolutely wonderful experience, the option to make 1 terrarium between two people was perfect for us as we don't have space for 2. The host and owner of Mila, Sam was a dream, the workshop was a perfect balance of information and fun! We loved making our terrarium along with him, whilst also having funny chats, nothing felt like a silly question. We also sat next to Emma who was very lovely, chatty and knowledgeable! Finally, loved the tote bag, notepad, choccy and mulled wine - a treat!
Host made it a full experience, clearly a lot of care goes into the session and it makes it so valuable!
Had a great time, would highly recommend!
Amazing workshop by Sam! He’s friendly, engaging, and knowledgable - would highly recommend
