  • 5/5 from Nerissa, attended Mar 2026: We booked a terrarium workshop as a birthday gift for my sister, and it turned out to be such a lovely experience. Emily was wonderful—her knowledge of plants was impressive, and we learned so much about creating terrariums and caring for houseplants. The workshop was brilliantly organised, with everything set up and ready for us. Emily explained each step clearly and guided us throughout the entire process, which made it easy and enjoyable even though we had never tried anything like this before. We both left with beautiful terrariums that we’re really proud of, and we’re now completely obsessed with them! It was a fun, creative, and memorable experience—definitely a fantastic gift idea.

  • 5/5 from Daniel V, attended Jun 2023: A super cool class! The venue (I attended the class at Greenka plant shop in Ealing) was such was a perfect setting for the class. It felt really welcoming, and making a terrarium while being surrounded by beautiful plants was a lovely and very calming experience.In the class itself Emily did a great job of explaining how terrariums work and the practical method of creating them. All of the steps were clearly demonstrated and explained, and tools and materials were provided as well as a selection of lovely plants. As Id chosen the largest size of vessel, that meant I got a total of 5 individual plants of various types, which I thought was perfect. I particularly enjoyed putting the finishing touches to my creation with moss and some decorative stones. I had a great time and came away having made a beautiful terrarium!
