So why not consider these gift experiences for your loved ones? They make for delightful and entertaining gifts for anyone and everyone!

A glass terrarium workshop brings the outside in

Terrariums are a perfect way to enjoy the beauty of plants without the space requirements of a traditional garden. Give the gift of a terrarium-making workshop to those who love growing and caring for plants but don't necessarily have the room for a garden.

A terrarium workshop will teach your loved one how to plant, arrange, and nurture cacti and other succulents in a self-contained vessel. Succulents and cacti are the best terrarium plants and perfect green pets for beginners and people who are always on the go because they don’t require a huge amount of care and can be pretty self-sufficient if prepared correctly.

If you’re looking for a new and creative activity to do with your friends, a terrarium workshop might be the answer for you! Many boutique florists around London offer terrarium workshops on weekends. These workshops are open to both kids and adults and already come with terrarium kits and supplies. Get an e-gift card for your pal for their next birthday and head along with them to enjoy the experience.

A kokedama class will make their space look magical

What do you get when you marry moss, plants, and traditional Japanese gardening techniques? Kokedama, of course! Here, you take the plant's root ball, encase it in soil, and cover everything with moss. Soon, you’ll be able to transform plants into beautiful lush spherical “planets” that are suspended in the air - they'll make your space look magical. Treat your plant-loving friend to this class and give them the chance to try something different.

Not only will your giftee learn how to make your own kokedama designs, but they'll also learn how to decorate them in a way that will make their home look spectacular. Kokedama is suitable for succulents, ferns, and flowering plants. This gardening technique is so beautiful and versatile – you may be tempted to book a workshop for yourself, too!

Speciality plant stores in the UK hold kokedama classes for beginners throughout the year. Share a gift experience voucher with your special person and look forward to seeing what they make.

A houseplant propagation class will make their perennial dreams come true

Once you have the skills and experience to get your plants to sprout, the next goal is to grow more. This is where propagation comes in, a method of multiplying plants from seeds, bulbs, or even cuttings.

If your plant-loving friend wants to have a flourishing garden, one of the best experience gift ideas to get them is a propagation class. It'll teach them how to propagate plants and create their own new plants for free. They will learn all aspects of propagation, from preparing the soil, choosing the healthiest cuttings, harvesting seeds, growing bulbs, and creating a propagation tray.

We’ve all been there: you want to get a new plant, but you don’t want to buy one because it’s expensive. Giving your pal the chance to learn how to propagate from their existing plants and grow them on in their own home will take away this quandary for them forever! 

Our plant classes are beginner friendly and therefore make for great gifts for anyone and any occasion. If your loved one is into a specific kind of plant, be sure to sign up for a  class dedicated to it.

Gardening workshops will let them grow from seed to bloom

Flowers are bright and cheery, adding colour to any room. Is it any wonder why so many people want to learn how to grow them? A flower workshop will allow your friend to learn all about the ins and outs of gardening, from planting bulbs to fertilizing the soil to growing bigger blooms.

If you have a friend who's always wanted to grow a flower-filled garden, this is one of the best gift cards to get! Because this workshop teaches basic gardening skills, it is also a gateway to other classes like flower arranging and wreath making. The possibilities are endless!

Make your own fertilizer with a composting class

If you want to take your gardening experience to the next level, a composting class may be in order. You’ll learn all about how to decompose organic waste and use it as fertilizer. 

If you’re giving this as a gift card, your plant-loving friend will not only be able to make their own compost, but they will also have access to unlimited organic fertilizers.

Composting is a safe, environmentally-friendly way to turn household waste into a valuable resource. And contrary to popular belief, it's possible to do composting with worms and other decomposers without the process being messy or smelly!

Your friend will learn how to do composting the right way, the hygienic way. Some workshops will also teach them how to build a compost pit, compost tumbler, or worm farm.
