Learn to design, plant and sustain a divine terrarium. You’ll leave having made your very own miniature, low-maintenance and on-trend biosphere.

During the class you’ll learn how to create your own easy-to-keep but beautiful indoor garden. Master the art of wiggling little plants through thin bottlenecks (think cacti, succulents, orchids and tropicals) and making them snug with charcoal, stones and soil.

As well as being given all the materials you need to create your own terrarium, you’ll learn how to make the tools to work with difficult bottle shapes (ever tried squeezing a cactus into a bottle?) and how to choose plants which thrive in their own microclimate. At the end of the day, you’ll leave merrily clutching your own unique work of art.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Everything you need – glass containers, plants, soil and accessories – will be provided on the day. You’re more than welcome to bring your own container, if you have something special planned.

Each session lasts 2.5 hours and caters for 5-10 people.
