What you'll do

Make and keep your very own unique self-sustaining terrarium with a Terrarium-Making Workshop by Malinasdesign. In this workshop, you'll learn how to create your own mini ecosystem inside a closed glass container.

Your teacher will start off with a brief introduction to the history behind terrariums, as well as the different types of plants that can be used in them. Then they'll guide you through the steps of preparing the soil and plants, and arranging them in a visually appealing way.

They'll then show you each step to making your own terrarium to suit your tastes. The local expert will provide a range of plants for you to choose from including fittonia, ivy, ferns and moss as well as a terrarium glass to house them in.
