What you’ll get up to
Succulents. Cacti. Tiny desert, what's up succa?
Build your own sun-soaked little landscape with a mix of succulents, cacti, sand, stone and all the good stuff.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your own glass desert terrarium from scratch - choosing your prickly plants, building and styling everything exactly how you want it.
Our plant team will guide you through the whole process, from planting and positioning to getting the balance right and making sure your finished terrarium looks properly put together.
It’s perfect for beginners, brilliant for people who’ve killed everything else, and genuinely satisfying to make.
It’s green therapy… just a bit more drought-tolerant.
No plant experience needed. We’ll provide everything - you just turn up and get stuck in.

Good words from the making table.
“Had a wonderful night last night learning how to plant up a glass terrarium in a workshop. Didn't feel stupid asking questions, everything explained, no patronising answers and had great fun. Loved it so much going back to do another one for desert plants. Would recommend it for something different to do.”

“I've ordered from Memento many times now and the plants arrive safely and healthy every single time. The workshop I've attended was also very good. The shop itself is worth visiting, it's booming with flowers, plants and house wares. Superb customer service. Would recommend Memento to any plant lovers!”
