How it works
In the '70s, Gregg "Roosevelt" Harris found a passion for creating terrariums, using his talent to finance his college education through his own store. Today, Roosevelt's Terrariums continues this legacy, offering a space where creativity meets nature. The business provides a range of terrarium styles, from small vials to glass bulbs that are easy to transport, and even Wardian cases complete with living creatures like poison dart frogs. Each piece is unique, showcasing an array of plants and designs that invite customers to explore a miniature world.
Roosevelt's Terrariums also offers interactive classes where participants can learn how to create self-sustaining terrariums. These workshops provide an opportunity for groups to engage in hands-on learning and foster a sense of collaboration as they construct their own living artworks. The company's focus on education and creativity makes it an ideal choice for those looking to connect with colleagues in a unique environment. Whether selecting a ready-made terrarium or crafting one from scratch, visitors leave with both newfound skills and a tangible reminder of their experience.

Our Review
Updated
Our first impression of Roosevelt's Terrariums is that it offers a refreshing blend of creativity and nature, making it an intriguing option for team building activities. The hands-on workshops provide a unique opportunity for teams to collaborate and engage in a creative process together, which can be particularly beneficial for creative teams or those looking to break the ice in a new group setting. Participants not only learn about creating self-sustaining terrariums but also take away a tangible reminder of their collaborative effort, which can serve as a lasting symbol of teamwork.
One thing to keep in mind is that while Nurseries & Gardening is an excellent choice for teams interested in fostering creativity and collaboration, it may not be the best fit for analytical teams seeking data-driven challenges or large groups who might find the intimate setting limiting. The focus on crafting individual pieces means that smaller or more established teams might benefit most from this activity, as they can delve deeper into the creative process without feeling rushed. Overall, Roosevelt's Terrariums provides an engaging and educational experience that can help strengthen team bonds through shared learning and creativity.
