Nothing says spooky season like a ghostly terrarium!

In this class, you will be making a little spooky graveyard ecosystem from start to finish. You will be given all the supplies needed to do this, as well as items to take home with you to help maintain the health of your terrarium. These items include:

• A glass terrarium with lid
• Substrates such as soil, sphagnum moss, and rocks
• Springtails (super tiny insects that clean the soil and maintain terrarium health)
• Plant cuttings
• Little plastic gravestone and ghost
• A plastic squeeze bottle for watering

You will be given in depth instruction on how to care for your terrarium, as well as have time to ask any and all questions related to the terrarium! 🌿

All attendees will also receive 15% off in the shop the day of the class!

We are excited to celebrate local romance author Andie Burke with Curious Iguana THIS Tuesday, September 22 from 6 pm-7 pm at Frederick Book Arts Center! 🌿

Join us to hear about Andie’s new novel, So It Grows. The story follows new plant shop owner Felicity as she teams up with her hot business rival Nicolas to face off against a greedy developer threatening both their businesses.

Andie will be in-conversation with Chip Pons, USA Today bestselling author of Dearly Departed. Following their conversation, Andie will answer questions and sign books. We will be at the release vending plants and book themed plants accessories!

Copies of So It Grows will be available for purchase at the event. 

Location: Frederick Book Arts Center, 127 S. Carroll Street, Frederick, MD 21701

This event is ✨free✨ and open to the public!

About the book: A cozy small town business-rivals-to-lovers romance about finding joy where you least expect it.

Felicity Gallagher thought inheriting her aunt’s plant shop would be the fresh start she needed after the worst year of her life. She never expected that the trendy, mac and cheese themed restaurant next door–and its inconveniently hot chef–might be her downfall.

Nicolas Holm-Bozic is arrogant, presumptuous, and just flat out gets under her skin. Felicity has made ignoring him an art form—until the exploding popularity of his restaurant leads to renewed interest in Felicity’s quirky corner of Kansas. Now, a greedy developer is threatening both their businesses with a towering parking garage that could steal the sunlight from her plants. With her shop’s future in jeopardy, Felicity must join forces with her least favorite neighbor.

• Springtails (super tiny insects that clean the soil and maintain terrarium health & feed your plants)
• Various moss varieties
• Plastic skulls and bones
