WORKSHOPS OUTSIDE OF MASSACHUSETTS STATE:
We are based in Boston, MA. A successful workshop usually takes about three weeks to a month of planning. Before traveling outside of Massachusetts, all logistical details will be worked out. The company, organisation or group interested in hiring Micro Plant Studio to facilitate a workshop will be responsible for hospitality:

  • Round trip flight/Train
  • Hotel stay,
  • Meals,
  • Vehicle rental or UBER
  • Facilitator’s travel time, and
  • Any additional accrued traveling fees. 

Make sure to reserve the workshop physical space ahead of time and make sure it’s not located next to a quiet space. Also, add 1.5 hours for set up and 1.5  hours for breakdown. It is important for the space to be near a restroom and sink for washing hands and hydrating plants.

When hosting a workshop please make sure the space is big enough for the group size and to follow all emergency codes/protocols established by the local municipalities. 

  • Clear pathway should lead to the exits. All fire emergency exits should be clear, not blocked.
  • When people are sitting, it should be comfortable to walk around for the facilitators and participants.
  • The space should be big enough for people to stand in a large circle and smaller circles. 
  • Also, make sure the systems that keeps your guests warm or cool, are working, AC and heater, including electrical shades. 

Hosting an outside workshop:

Outside spaces can be fun and yet it presents a few challenges. Keep track of the weather which will help avoiding any mishaps caused by inclement weather and make sure to have plan B. It is our goal to create a fun and relaxed experience for all participants. Before making a final decision consider the following variables when planning the outdoor workshop.

  • Will you have access to tables and chairs? It is important to have all chairs and tables reserved prior the start of the workshop. The layout of the tables is key for a success workshop.
    • Possible layouts:
      • Clustering of Tables: Clustering of two tables allows 8-10 participants per group. Ideally, participants should be able to stand around the tables comfortably.
      • U-Shape setup layout: The U-shape allows participants to see each other’s work but also allows the facilitator to walk around and inside the circle, providing technical support. Also, creates additional space for sitting inside the circle.
      • Donut set-up layout: The donut setup seats participants outside of the circle only, and facilitators walk around providing technical support.
  • Wind + Rain: Avoid scheduling workshops on a rainy or windy day.   
    • The strong winds will blow away items from the tables, including soil and any other items that are light-weight. 
    • The rain will turn the soil into mud and impossible to use. 
  • Super Sunny + Hot/Humid: Sitting down for a long period of time under direct sunlight is not ideal for any of the participants. Try identifying a space with a tarp or ceiling built in that protects your guests from the sun and that allows the activity to move forward as scheduled.

Overall, we facilitate groups composed of a minimum of 15 people and a maximum of 28 people. Groups bigger than 29 participants per workshop are required to book a second Micro Plant Studio facilitator to ensure everyone is provided with our utmost technical support and guidance. If you have only 8-9 people, you may book us but you are expected to pay the full fee for a group of 10 people.

  • $135 covers for 1 Teacher/Facilitator:
  • $250 covers for the planning, purchasing of supplies, and traveling time ((tolls+ gas, up to 8 miles).
  • Additional fees do apply if the distance surpasses 8 miles.
