In this guided terrarium session, you'll learn how to layer, plant, and decorate either a closed or open terrarium. Choose from a range of beautiful glass vessels, mosses, and terrarium-friendly plants. We provide everything — tools, materials, and expert guidance.

We also offer Kokedama workshops — a fun introduction to the traditional Japanese art of moss ball planting.

💡 Bring a friend and save!

Workshop pricing is designed to reward groups — the more people you book for, the more you save. It's our way of saying thank you for sharing the experience.

We can accommodate groups larger than five and are happy to offer earlier or later start times upon request. Please contact us beforehand to arrange a custom session.

🍷 Sip & Build – Looking to enjoy a drink while creating your terrarium?

We've partnered with our neighbours at Leena's Bar, located just two doors down from our Elsternwick store.

Simply tick "I'm interested in Sip & Build with Leena's Bar" when booking and we'll pass your details on to Leena's Bar so they can contact you directly to discuss available drink options and purchases.

Please note drinks are optional and are not included in the workshop price. All alcohol is supplied and sold directly by Leena's Bar and is available to guests aged 18+ only.

What's Included

• Your choice of glass terrarium vessel
• All plants, soil, moss, stones, and decorative elements
• Tools provided (though we mostly use our hands!)
• Care tips to help keep your terrarium thriving
• You'll leave with a completed terrarium and the knowledge to care for it at home
• A calm, creative experience in our beautiful Elsternwick store

Duration

Approx. 1 – 1.5 hours — you're free to head off once your creation is complete.

How to Book

• Choose the terrarium shape you'd like to create (or Kokedama)
• Select your preferred date and time using the calendar
• Secure your spot — all materials are included in the price

Our workshops are small and intimate (maximum 5 people per session) — perfect for beginners, plant lovers, or anyone looking for a relaxing, creative night out.

As we also accept last-minute workshop bookings, there may occasionally be situations where a booking needs to be rescheduled due to glassware availability, particularly for bookings made close to the date or on weekends. If this occurs, we will contact you as soon as possible to arrange an alternative time that suits you.

Private Workshop Sessions

Our workshops are run as private sessions based on your booking size. When you select your booking type, the session is reserved just for you or your group (unless otherwise arranged in advance).

Shared Option

If you select "2 People – Shared", this allows two participants to attend and create one terrarium together. This is a great option for couples or friends who'd like to share the experience.

For all other booking types, each participant will create their own terrarium.

Need to Reschedule?

Please email us at least a couple of days in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate.

We can't wait to make something beautiful with you 🌿

A Small Note

We do have a friendly dog in the store. Beetle may wander around and politely ask for a few pats. If you're not a dog person, just let us know in the comments section when booking — Beetle won't be offended and will happily stay asleep on the couch at the back.
