Build your very own closed terrarium in this relaxing, hands-on workshop in Brighton – a self-sustaining miniature ecosystem that'll bring joy to your space with almost no effort required. Perfect for anyone who loves plants but wants something that genuinely looks after itself.
Over two hours, you'll discover how to layer the substrate, select your plants, and arrange everything so your terrarium creates its own perfect little world. We'll guide you through every step of the process, showing you exactly how to build something that'll thrive for years to come.
You'll get hands-on with every part of the making, and by the end you'll have both a beautiful living display and the genuine knowledge to care for it – no mysterious plant care rules, just a clear understanding of what makes your terrarium tick. You'll leave knowing you've created something that'll keep thriving, season after season, with barely any maintenance needed.
It's the kind of creative experience that feels both productive and calming – you'll feel that spark of having made something living and beautiful with your own hands.
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.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 4 guests to run. 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.
