  • 5/5 from Rutuja, attended Oct 2026: Lovely environment and very helpful teachers
  • 5/5 from Antonella Laura Bartalotta, attended Sep 2026: Our teacher was lovely! Full of tips and patience. Her attention to detail was unmatched We had the best time and are now proud owners of two beautiful terrariums. Would definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Leticia Laplaza, attended Sep 2026: It was such a beautiful experience from start to finish. The teacher was very sweet and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. It was also such a therapeutic experience, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. I would definitely do it again without a doubt. And I’m going home with a result that I absolutely adore! ️ Thank you so much for such a lovely experience!
  • 5/5 from James King, attended Sep 2026: We had a great time! My partner and I attended this small workshop. We were two of 8 participants, so it felt quite intimate. We were each given our own terrarium container and walked through the creation of our terrarium. Our teacher was brilliant, explained everything clearly step-by-step, and ensured we'd all completed each step before moving onto the next. It was a great mixture of clear steps with opportunities for creativity- there was a good variety of different plants, pebbles etc to choose from and we had full control of our designs. Our flat is now home to two terrariums. :) Venue was lovely too - a really cute plant-filled café and we were in a private room at the back. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Sarah Williams, attended Sep 2026: I really enjoyed the class, the teacher was lovely, very knowledgeable and helpful giving design tips and suggesting plants. I love my new terrarium!
  • 5/5 from Caroline Frank, attended Sep 2026: Such an amazing worthwhile class with such an amazing teacher!
  • 5/5 from Paige Meek, attended Aug 2026: Such a nice class! I got this as a gift for my best friend and she said it was one of the best afternoon activities she had done in London (and we have done a few now). Gorgeous little plant shop where it’s hosted and such a calm atmosphere. Highly recommend this.
  • 5/5 from Tunde Akerele, attended Aug 2026: Lily and her teaching partner were fabulous! They gave good instructions about how to layer the terrarium and what plants to use and we’re very encouraging. They also gave ideas about what else we could put in them and how to make different kinds of terraria. I would definitely recommend it and I think I’ll go again.
  • 5/5 from Faye Sheldon, attended Aug 2026: Lovely venue and lovely class, the teachers were great!
  • 5/5 from Emily Bere, attended Jul 2026: What a fantastic class! Our teacher was really knowledgable and helpful in our design and which plants to choose. Only 5 people in the room which made it really nice and easy to meet our fellow classmates. Amazing value for what we got! And we even got a free scoop of gelato at the start. I’d highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Tim Hodges, attended Jul 2026: Teacher was great! Very knowledgable and wanting to share. Had a great time making our terrariums, would defs recommend!
  • 5/5 from Becci Dugdale, attended Jul 2026: I struggled to find a terrarium making class for cheaper than this, but after wanting to do it for so long I finally went for it. And I have to say, it was 100% worth every penny! The class was for only 5 people which meant the lovely teacher was able to be very attentive and help each of us tailor our terrarium to exactly what we pictured. I’m not a very naturally creative person but with her guidance I’m so pleased and honestly shocked with how beautifully mine came out. She even let us take cuttings from any of the display plants in pre-made terrariums around the shop that we liked the look of. I learned a lot about what it takes to make a quality terrarium and though I loved the experience of the workshop in the beautiful shop, I also think I would definitely be able to make my own at home now after her tutorials! I would 10/10 recommend this when you’re looking for a relaxing and satisfying activity to do solo or in a group. I can’t wait to display my terrarium at home! Thank you very much, can’t wait to come again!
  • 5/5 from Matthew Heap, attended Jun 2026: Had an absolutely lovely experience here. It was a very peaceful and enjoyable afternoon and felt supported throughout. Would definitely recommend it!
  • 5/5 from Allie Dimpsey, attended May 2026: The teacher was lovely, very kind and approachable. She took the time to explain the process and make sure we were happy with our terrarium. The environment was delightful, very easy going and calming. We were guided through how best to create our terrariums and encourage to reach out if we needed help with maintenance in the future
  • 5/5 from Sabrina Hallier, attended May 2026: Bought this as a gift for my boyfriend's birthday - we had such a great time. Our teacher was super lovely and patient, and explained every step very clearly. We were given autonomy to create our terrarium ourselves but she was on hand to guide and support. Pleasantly surprised at the size of the terrarium and the options of plants, moss and pebbles etc. to use! We love our terrariums!
  • 5/5 from Tracee Reid, attended Apr 2026: Fantastic workshop, beautiful venue and a knowledgeable, warm and friendly teacher. My daughter and I had the best time making terrarium’s on Easter weekend. Lots of support and advice given on structure, best plants to add to our tropical terrariums and sound aftercare advice too. Just the de-stress we both needed. Hot drink included and couldn’t leave a without picking up a couple plants to take home too. With 20% off too!! Highly recommended, will definitely return!

  • 5/5 from Saffron McGibbon, attended Feb 2025: I absolutely loved every second of this! It was very intimate and informative, despite still looking after her incoming customers she was so very attentive with us all individually. With her expertise and knowledge, I was able to bring many holiday memories to life with my paradise walk in a glass! I can’t wait to attend again, I wonder if you’ll do other size glasses?! Don’t stop what you’re doing, it’s your passion for a reason
  • 5/5 from Matt Corrall, attended Feb 2025: I thoroughly enjoyed my class, today. The shop and separate, quiet workshop space in the back are lovely. We got free coffee, too. Our teacher was really welcoming, friendly and full of interesting stories and tips. She took the time to find out what kind of terrarium each of us wanted to make, and helped us every step of the way, before boxing our creations up for us to take home. I'm very happy with what I made, and feel I've learned a lot about how terrariums work and how to care for them. Definitely give this a try!

  • 4/5 from Yat Tin Justin Ho, attended Feb 2025: Teacher and class was good. However felt a bit rushed. Our time slot was 1-3, however by 2:30 she was alrdy packing up our terrariums. There was also not many different types of plants to choose from. Apart from that, was good and fun.

Clear information was provided for us to be able to work independently. We were provided with all the necessary tools, along with a variety of beautiful plants to choose from. See below the fruit of my labour :-)
