Create your own self-sustaining miniature ecosystem in this one-hour terrarium workshop – a beautiful, low-maintenance plant companion that thrives in its own tiny world, perfectly suited to anyone who loves greenery without the fuss.
You'll build your terrarium from start to finish in a gorgeous glass vessel (10cm wide x 21cm tall), learning how to layer the right materials, choose your plants, and create the perfect conditions for your little ecosystem to flourish with minimal care.
During the workshop, we'll guide you through each step, showing you exactly how to build something that'll genuinely sustain itself. It's hands-on, it's fun, and you'll feel that real satisfaction of having created something living and beautiful with your own hands – the kind of keepsake that keeps giving, literally growing right before your eyes.
You'll leave with your finished terrarium ready to find its perfect spot at home, plus the knowledge that you've made something that'll bring a spark of nature into your space for months to come, with barely any effort required.
Perfect for first-timers and anyone after a low-pressure, joyful creative afternoon.
Please note: Each booking is for one person creating one terrarium. Due to space limitations, we're unable to accommodate shared builds – if two people would like to attend, two workshop spaces must be booked.

In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.
