About Gardening Workshops & Classes
Why I Do This
I started Green Lovers because I love getting my hands in the soil and seeing people light up when their plant survives, grows, and thrives. For me, workshops are more than instructions - they’re about enjoying the mess, laughing over lopsided terrariums, and walking away with something you made yourself. I want folks to feel the joy of creating something green, and maybe make some new friends along the way.
Workshop Options
- Terrarium making class is our big hit. I’ll show you how to layer soil and stones, choose plants like fittonia and ferns, and craft your own ecosystem in a jar. There’s always someone who goes wild with the miniatures, and that’s half the fun.
- Bonsai tree workshop gets into the nitty gritty of potting, pruning, and caring for these tiny trees. You’ll work on your own and take it home.
- DIY miniature garden session is all about succulents, cacti, and open dish gardens. We talk design, but it’s chill - you decide if you want a desert or a jungle vibe.
What to Expect
- Zero gardening experience needed. I’ve had total newbies and plant nerds in the same group.
- Everything’s provided - containers, soil, plants, tools, and decorations.
- Usually 2 hours, on weekends.
- You keep whatever you create. It’s yours.
Team and Corporate Sessions
We do corporate gardening activity at offices across Bengaluru. It’s a break from screens and meetings, and folks usually end up chatting over their pots. I tweak sessions for teams, whether it’s bonsai or just easy potting.
Why It Matters
Every session, I hope more green finds its way into homes and offices. That’s the dream. Come build something with us, and let’s make Bengaluru a bit leafier together.
