Create a habitat to take home with you and nurture for years to come. We’ll provide the bowl, dirt, gravel, pebbles, mosses, plants, and other embellishments. Allow approximately 30 minutes to complete the project and take a self-guided trail walk to round out your visit. Offered on MLK Day when school is closed. Suitable for kids and adults.

Date: Monday, January 15 (MLK Day)

Time: 10:00 am–12:00 pm. Note: The activity takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Participants can arrive any time between 10:00 and 11:30 am and may supplement their time at Sheldrake by exploring our grounds independently.

Ages: 5 through adult

Format: This is not a drop-off program; children must be accompanied by an actively participating adult. The event takes place indoors.

Cost: Members: $15 per terrarium; non-members: $20 per terrarium. Register each person in your party who wishes to create a terrarium so we can be sure to have enough supplies available.

Cancellation Policy: Program proceeds in inclement weather unless hazardous conditions occur. In the event that Sheldrake should cancel a program (or a portion thereof), either a makeup will be scheduled or a refund will be issued. Participant cancellation requires a minimum of one week’s notice (in writing to scheduling@sheldrakecenter.org; be sure to obtain written confirmation of receipt), and a 25% cancellation fee will be charged. No refunds will be issued under other circumstances.

Advance registration required; space is limited. Registration for this program closes by Friday, January 12.
