The lowdown
A mossarium is one of nature's most quietly beautiful creations — a living moss garden sealed under glass that sustains itself through its own water cycle, requiring almost no maintenance and lasting for years.
What you'll do in this plant workshop:
In this one-hour workshop, our expert botanical team will guide you through creating your own mossarium using special varieties of living moss, wood chips, pebbles and feature rocks — all housed in a beautiful contemporary glass vessel with a disc lid that redirects condensation back onto the moss, emulating nature's own water cycle.Choose your base on the day — cork, natural oak or concrete — each giving your mossarium a distinct aesthetic to suit your home or office.
You'll learn:
How a mossarium works as a self-sustaining living ecosystem
• How to layer substrate, wood chips and pebbles for long-term moss health
• How to select and position moss varieties for visual harmony
• How to style your mossarium using feature rocks and natural elements
• How to care for your mossarium once you take it home
