A glass bowl terrarium planter with green plants inside.

Terrarium Workshop

Create your own plant world that’s in a glass bowl, with the experts from London Terrariums. 

This workshop includes a history of terrariums and our experts will explain the science behind them, followed by a demonstration. The rest of the session is up to you to follow your own design.

You can either bring your own glass vessel, in which case ensure it’s no bigger than 20 centimetres by 20 centimetres. Or you can select to book a ticket with the £10 glass vessel plant-pot included, to then collect and use at the workshop.

All other materials, tools, plants and after-care instructions are included in your ticket. All skill levels and ages are welcome at the workshop, although content is best suited to those aged 16 years+.

Founded in 2014, London Terrariums have made it their mission to share their passion for gardening, even if you don’t have access to a garden. Since then, they’ve planted more than 10,000 terrariums! So, whether you’re green-fingered or a beginner, these glass planters are very low maintenance and will be happy in any home.
