Rainforest Terrarium Workshop | Sat, 30th January

A whole rainforest. This is the big one.

Two hours, one beautiful glass vessel and a table full of tropical plants, moss, stone and all the bits you need to build a proper little ecosystem from scratch.

You’ll start at the bottom, creating the layers that keep a sealed terrarium ticking over, before planting it up with ferns, Fittonia, palms and loads of rich green texture. Then comes the good bit - arranging, tweaking, adding moss and getting completely carried away until it looks like a tiny rainforest has taken over the jar.

And because this one is sealed with a cork lid, there’s a bit of actual plant wizardry going on too. Once it’s established, moisture cycles around inside the vessel, helping create its own little environment with surprisingly little interference from you.

We’ll explain what’s happening in there, what not to fiddle with, and how to keep it thriving without loving it to death.

Basically: maximum jungle, minimum faff.
