Richmond's The National Hotel is giving you an excuse to change up your average Thursday night drinks with mates. The longstanding pub has once again invited The Plant Whisperer to host a tipsy terrarium workshop.
Throughout the 90-minute class, the host will walk you through the creation of a mini plant world, providing tips on plant selection and design, as well as soil composition and layering techniques. All terrarium materials are included in the ticket price — expect an array of tropical plants to choose from, plus a glass bowl, stones, soil, moss and figurines. And all experience levels are welcome, whether you entered the class a pro or are a repeat offender black thumb.
The bar will also be serving up all its usual bevvies throughout the workshop (to help provide some liquid creativity) — along with its Thursday night Korean fried chicken special. For $15, you get half a chook plus pickles, Kewpie mayo and bao. From 5–7pm, $7 pints of Mountain Goat, cider and house wine are also available.
The 1.5 hour class will cost $80, with drinks and food at the bar purchased separately. Bookings are a must.
