Closed Terrarium Workshop



1.5 hours Class size 1 to 12 guests       £60 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Create a unique ecosystem in a glass bottle at this closed terrarium workshop in Holden Clough Nurseries. You'll design your very own closed terrarium using a selection of moisture-loving plants, moss, natural stones and soil – all arranged within a beautiful corked glass vessel that becomes a little world of its own.
The magic of a closed terrarium is that it's entirely self-sustaining. Plants naturally release moisture that recycles within the sealed environment, meaning you'll barely lift a finger once it's made. No green fingers required – just hands-on fun and creative placement. Your teacher will share everything you need to know about caring for your terrarium, so you'll leave feeling confident and inspired.
This is a wonderfully low-pressure workshop where you'll watch your miniature landscape come to life. By the end, you'll have a one-of-a-kind living decoration that sparks joy every time you look at it – a keepsake that'll thrive on a shelf, windowsill or desk with barely any effort from you.
Please note: your teacher can organise workshops for corporate events and special occasions, and is happy to travel up to 35 miles across Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire and surrounding areas to bring this experience to you.
What you'll get
Materials, tools and tuition will be provided, ensuring you leave with a terrarium that can last for years.
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly.
What to bring
I always recommend getting your hands into the soil, but if that's not for you, please bring pair of gardening gloves with you.

female Women-owned

A plant-obsessed, energetic former teacher, I now work as a tutor specialising in plant-craft workshops, community gardening, and therapeutic horticulture. Following training with the RHS, I gained the confidence to begin running adult learning sessions, which led me to develop and deliver terrarium experiences and a broad range of botanical, hands-on workshops across the North-West over the past eight years.
During this time, I have hosted more than 100 events and welcomed over 800 attendees, working across both public and private settings. These have taken place in a wide variety of venues, from hotel rooftops to intimate private dining spaces. My focus is always on showing people how they can get creative with plants, regardless of whether they consider themselves to have any gardening experience or “green fingers”.
