A note from Leelee
Thank you so much for your interest in coming to an event! After a tough spring this year and the loss of our new studio/event space due to a fire, we're going through some transitions. We continue to host tons of private in person and virtual workshops for organizations and groups, everything from flower crown or wreath making bars to terrarium workshops and herb planting stations!
If you'd like to book an in person or virtual event for your team for 2023 or 2024, contact us or email directly at leelee@leeleesgarden.com.
We host unique hands-on events for 10-350+ guests and would love to work with you and your group.
We are booked for Aug-Sep 2023, but have openings still in Oct-Dec. Once your reach out, we will send you our unique event menu, plus details on how our in person (or virtual) events work.
Here and there, we will still host pop ups open to the public, and hope to see you there. And if you're outside of Chicago or don't see what you're looking for coming up live, we have a lot of fun changes in the works too, to make it easier to create with us!
