A Team Culture Tactics feature piece from our Fall 2025 issue of the Lancaster Thriving Publication

Team-building events have long been a cornerstone in shaping workplace culture, helping teams break down barriers, build trust, and foster stronger collaboration. Beyond just icebreakers and off-site activities, these experiences create shared memories that lead to improved communication and higher morale. When employees feel connected to one another, they’re more engaged, motivated, and better equipped to problem-solve together—qualities that directly translate into a more productive and thriving workplace. Over time, team-building has shifted from “mandatory fun” to meaningful experiences that strengthen both personal and professional bonds.

That’s where Terrarium Therapy comes in. Founded in 2016 by owner and creative director Kim Bailor, Terrarium Therapy is based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Unlike a traditional storefront, the business is fully mobile—traveling to breweries, wineries, offices, and special event venues to deliver hands-on plant workshops to groups of all sizes. From glass terrariums and bonsai to seasonal planters, each experience blends creativity, relaxation, and collaboration in a way that brings teams closer together.

By creating an atmosphere that is both therapeutic and engaging, Terrarium Therapy has redefined what team-building can look like. Employees leave not only with a beautiful living creation but also with a renewed sense of connection to their colleagues. To date, Terrarium Therapy has proudly hosted over 3,000 events, offering in-person, virtual, and hybrid workshops that bring together teams across the globe—including international attendees. It’s an approach that cultivates both wellness and workplace culture—proving that when people come together to create something meaningful, they also grow stronger as a team.

About Terrarium Therapy

Established in 2017, Terrarium Therapy was created with one purpose: to provide a refreshing and positive environment to relax and connect with others through nature.

Our virtual plant workshops offer a unique opportunity for teams to engage, collaborate, and build stronger connections, even from a distance. These interactive sessions provide a fun and creative way to foster teamwork, boost morale, and learn new skills together. To date, we have hosted over 2,000 virtual workshops.​

In addition to our workshops, we offer a variety of in-person experiences, including adult and child workshops, private parties, team-building functions, charity and fundraising events, bridal and baby showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and other group gatherings. We also provide beautiful plant-based favors, bouquets, centerpieces, and more to enhance any special occasion.

Terrarium Therapy proudly ships both domestically and internationally, allowing us to bring the joy of plants to teams, clients, and loved ones around the world.

At Terrarium Therapy, we believe in growing creativity and burying stress—one plant at a time!
