As the days grow longer and the first signs of spring emerge, there’s no better time to bring a little greenery into your home. London Terrariums, the city’s go-to destination for all things botanical, invites you to get hands-on with nature at one of their immersive workshops. Whether you’re a seasoned plant lover or a total beginner, their expertly guided sessions offer the perfect opportunity to craft your own self-sustaining miniature ecosystem—and take home a slice of nature to brighten up your space.
Founded by Emma Sibley over a decade ago, London Terrariums has built a reputation for bringing Victorian craftsmanship into the modern age. Terrariums were once a staple of the 19th-century home, housing delicate ferns inside intricate glass structures known as Wardian Cases. Today, Emma and her team are reviving this art with contemporary flair, using handmade tools and carefully selected plants that thrive in their own miniature worlds.
At a London Terrariums workshop, you’ll learn the delicate balance of soil, moss, and foliage needed to create a thriving indoor garden. From layering the foundations to choosing the right plants, the process is both mindful and creative—making it the perfect way to slow down and reconnect with nature. And the best part? Once sealed, your terrarium becomes a self-sustaining ecosystem, growing and evolving with minimal upkeep.
Workshops take place in London Terrariums’ charming Shoreditch studio. Whether you’re looking for a unique date idea, a group activity with friends, or a solo creative escape, these sessions offer something special for everyone. Plus, with options ranging from petite jars to statement-making giant Carboys, there’s a workshop to suit every style and space.
So, if you’re looking to bring the outdoors in this spring, why not try your hand at terrarium-making? Head to London Terrariums to book your spot and create your very own glass garden.
