Had a wonderful time! Daniel was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He made sure we had lots of options and would help us adjust anything we needed. We had a wonderful time and learned A LOT. Its been a couple weeks and my terrarium is flourishing as well!
AMAZING. Went as a birthday gift :)) So welcoming, and of course the entertainment never stops. Can't wait for another reason to go lol
This place was so fantastic. I didn’t take a class (yet) so I can’t speak to that experience. But I came in with a lot of curiosity and a desire for terrarium supplies. Daniel’s smile was contagious and his passion for terrariums as well! He was so helpful, gave me one-on-one attention, and helped me find what I needed to build my first terrariums. Would 100% recommend, and I will definitely be returning.
First, I want to express how much I love this place!! I’ve taken two classes here over the last ten years and it’s always so much fun. I took my second class last night and just wanted to recap my experience. The instructor was very kind, personable and knowledgeable. This dude knew his stuff! He was super helpful when building my terrarium to make sure I went home with something I really enjoyed. It was such a fun experience and I highly suggest it! Especially for people who aren’t the greatest at keeping houseplants alive as the work needed for these are very minimal. Here’s why I do not give five stars. The pricing. The class itself is $60 with $25 of that going towards the glass terrarium receptacle you chose once in the shop. Also, sounds like you can get a Groupon (didn’t know that was still a thing) and get the class at a discount. The website does clearly state they have terrariums $50 to $400 and to plans on spending $100+. My issue is, the $50 is a mason jar. I don’t remember seeing anything else until you get to $124, then it’s up from there. Two of the $124 jars are $10 IKEA jars (clearly stamped IKEA on the bottoms). Listen, I get this is a business and they need to make money, I’m not ignorant. My complaint is that you got someone coming in wanting to do something fun with their friends and then realizing they’re stuck with a mason jar because of how expensive it is. You can’t really even see well through a mason jar. If you’re selling $10 IKEA jars, it just seems like it could be a bit lower ($70-$90 maybe) than the $124 price it currently is. Just feels like this is something catered to upper middle class individuals when it doesn’t need to be. Also, not forgetting to mention, the price DOES include lifetime care of the terrarium. If it gets mold or dies or something, you can bring it back and they’ll help you with it for free. So there’s my long winded review of Roosevelt’s. Love this place, love the people, just wish it was more affordable so more people could experience how fun this is.
Super cool shop, extremely kind and generous staff. I was there during a class and he was able to juggle helping me with running the class. Really cool shop.
