“I just wanted to thank you so very much for partnering with SJCPL on Tropical Terrariums. Your program had enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive responses from patrons. Comments such as “Incredible presenter and such a generous amount of starting supplies!” were repeated, with 100% “amazing” rankings for the entire experience (our highest metric). It was a beautifully-laid out and presented program. You convey your knowledge in a way that empowers new learners!

Collaborations like ours strengthen our community, and I’m excited about the possibilities ahead!”
— Krista Hoefle, St. Joseph County Public Library

  • Submitting an inquiry is the first step—our team will follow up within two business days to confirm availability, gather details, and begin shaping your event.

    We ask for a minimum of two weeks’ lead time, though many groups book 4–6 weeks in advance to secure their preferred date.

  • To officially reserve your event, we require payment in full for a minimum of six guests.

    You can add additional participants—up to our on-site maximum of 16—up until two weeks before your gathering.

  • Every private experience includes a 2-hour reservation, with most workshops lasting 45–90 minutes.

    If you’d like extra time before or after for meeting, gathering, or celebrating, you can reserve additional time in The Shop as availability allows.

  • Absolutely. BYOB and snacks are welcome, and we can also help coordinate simple catering if you’d like to add something special to your gathering.

  • Yes! Light décor is welcome. Feel free to bring items like table displays, themed napkins, or small touches that make your gathering feel special. We simply ask that all décor is easy to set up and remove, and that nothing is affixed to walls or surfaces. As always, please plan for a carry-in/carry-out approach.
