Terrariums are a low-fuss way to keep happy indoor plants. Terrariums can be closed, creating a micro self-watering ecosystem. Or they can be open – which best suits succulents and cacti.
In this class, we will learn how to make our own open terrarium from scratch. This includes how to layer our terrariums for both drainage and water retention, suitable soils, and of course, decoration and “mini-landscaping”!
So become a landscaper for an evening and have lots of fun designing your own terrarium that you will take home at the end of the night!
All tools and materials are provided in the ticket price.
