what people are saying about past workshops...
Leelee was amazing! The venue was great, she was knowledgable and we had so much fun. I went by myself and was worried I may be a little uncomfortable, but she made us all at ease. I recommend this class for anyone who wants to try something new. Faith L.W.
This was the first [class] I've taken and it was great! I went with a couple of friends as something new and fun to do. The class took about an hour and a half and Leelee was great. She walked us through how to care for the flowers and then a method on how to make the best arrangements- she made it so easy! She made it clear that she wanted you to leave with arrangements you LOVE. She was constantly walking around helping people and making suggestions. I made 2 mason jar arrangements in this class and I love them! I can't wait to do it again myself :) Kim F.
This was such a great and unique class! It was a fun way to spend time with my friend and do something new. The gardens all turned out beautiful and I am excited to have a new decoration piece on my home. -Shalini T.
Truely enjoyed this class. Air plants were totally new to me and I was able to learn all about them while just playing around. It was the perfect balance of information and fun. I would definitely take another class with Leelee. - Rachel Hernandez
This was a fun, relaxed class. Leelee was attentive, informative, and sweet. Skill and creativity aren't required to be a success in this class. I would recommend it to anyone seeking something fun and different to do. - Diane
This class was amazing!!!!! LeeLee is so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable!! I can't wait to take other classes she offers!!!! -Mary Alice
The class was amazing! Very fun and entertaining. The material was explained well and was easy to follow. Our air plant arrangements looked great. The teacher was super nice and very knowledgeable on the material. Very friendly, easy going and made the class very enjoyable. Very reasonably priced and would recommend to all my friends. -Adalina
Leelee gave use the perfect mix of great information and time to get creative and have fun with the project. I felt like I left the class learning a lot about the plants we were working with and very proud of my cool vertical garden. I took 2 friends with me to the class and we had a fantastic and memorable girls night out. I will definitely be back for another class! - Rachel
Enjoyed a class making a Vertical Air Plant Garden. I arrived solo and Leann facilitated introductions, which was really nice (and something I haven't experienced in other classes). She had plenty of cork bark, air plants, and moss to choose from, and was helpful in suggesting how to place things without being overly pushy. I was convinced the glue wasn't going to hold my air plants because it seemed to take forever to adhere, but it did, as did everyone else's. If you're anything like me, you'll probably be jealous of your neighbor's creation, but I really love my finished project. Overall, great class, great value, great teacher, good location (it changes) and good amount of time allotted for this project.

This class was a lot of fun, and a great way to spend a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon. Leelee was really friendly and had great suggestions. The class was well organized and Leelee explained really well both the care for the plants and how to make a hanging garden with the fantastic array of materials she provided. She really wanted everyone to walk out of the class with a work of living art that they were proud of.
This was definitely something outside my comfort zone and I'm glad I went out out on a limb and attended. -Scott B.
The instructor was very welcoming and helpful and the class was a lot of fun. You left with a lovely and unique piece of wall art I would recommend this class to anyone interested in air plants and would like a nice introduction to them. -Stephanie N.
This was such a great class and you get to go home with such an awesome project! I had so much fun! -Robin G.
Variety of plants and wood was very good, and teacher was encouraging, patient, thoughtful, and very helpful throughout process. Definitely recommend.
-Tim H.
The class was absolutely wonderful. Leelee made it very easy and brought in a ton of different plants and moss to choose from. If you're looking to have fun and create something beautiful, I highly recommend this class. - Caroline W.
