Succulence Virtual Events are amazing!
We know this because that’s what our clients say. Let us host a party with your friends or colleagues from anywhere in the world and help everyone make plant art for their home.
How do we schedule?
You work with our scheduling team ( info@thesucculence.com ) to find a date and time that works for you. Then we collect a deposit based on your estimated headcount. Boom, your party is on! Your final headcount, address list and balance is due 2 weeks before the event. Easy peasy!
What can we make?
You can choose between our Terrarium workshops (succulents or airplants), Discover Succulents (planters in ceramic containers), Vertical Gardening and Demystifying Houseplants. Most of these workshops have upgrades available. The upgrades info is listed with the project descriptions at the end of this document.
How long do the workshops last?
We’re glad you asked! Our workshops are generally between 60-120 minutes, depending on how many people are in attendance and how many questions we get them asking. We can tailor the workshop to whatever time works best for you. The pricing stays the same, even if you use the full two hours.
How much does this cost?
Each workshop is $55/person, plus $14/person for western shipping and $20 for eastern shipping. We also ship internationally.
If you have a large class, we charge $50/person for all guests above 25. There is no maximum size. We can handle large groups.
Our minimum is 8 people, but we also have an all-inclusive “up to 7 people” price of $532, which includes shipping in the west.
How does shipping work, and do I have to have my kits shipped?
We ship our plant kits with USPS to each individual guest anywhere in the world. Our kits are fully loaded with everything needed for the workshop which may include plants, soil, decorative rocks, moss, planters, and more. You have the option of skipping shipping charges by picking up plant kits for any amount of the participants at our shop in San Francisco. You may use your own shipping account for a $5/person handling charge.
