Greenhouse Terrarium Workshop

A closed greenhouse terrarium is one of nature`s small miracles — a self-sustaining ecosystem sealed in glass that thrives on almost nothing. Built correctly, it can flourish for years with minimal care.

At Merchant & Green, we`ve been teaching Sydney how to build them for over 10 years — longer than any other florist or workshop studio in the city. In this one-hour class, our expert botanical team will guide you through every step — from drainage and soil layering to plant placement and decorative styling — so you leave with something genuinely beautiful and built to last.

What You`ll Learn

• How a closed greenhouse terrarium works as a self-sustaining ecosystem

• How to layer drainage, soil and moss for long-term plant health

• How to select and position plants for balance, growth and visual harmony

• How to style your terrarium using decorative stones and natural elements

• How to care for your terrarium once you take it home

What`s Included & Take Home

• Regular glass terrarium vessel (15x20cm)

• Upgrade on the day to Medium or Large for an extra charge

• Premium hand-selected miniature plants

• Soil, drainage layers, moss and decorative stones

• Professional tools and expert guidance throughout
