Recent reviews of Beginners Terrarium Making at Home

  • 5/5 from Lesley Robinson, attended Oct 2026: Thoroughly enjoyed our Tranquil Terrarium class. Hayley is very relaxed and friendly and is a very good communicator.
  • 5/5 from Leif Smith, attended Oct 2026: Very informative and fun.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Smith, attended Oct 2026: Great advice and resources for building terrariums. Atmosphere was friendly and relaxing
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Gee, attended Aug 2026: Renae was a wonderful teacher. The class was amazing! It was well taught and I love my new terrarium! The space was beautiful and peaceful. The tools (plants and stones) we had at our disposal were fantastic. Thanks Renae!
  • 5/5 from Justin Yong, attended Aug 2026: I had a great time making my terrarium. The class was very relaxing. The instructor was both charming and knowledgeable. Definitely worth the investment.
  • 5/5 from Cecilia Wang, attended Jun 2026: It was an amazing class. I bought this class as a gift for mothers day, and we had a wonderful time. We attended a morning class, which was a "mindful" class (afternoon classes were "tipsy"), and the class was small, only around 10 people total, which was lovely. We had plenty of time to build the terrarium and Renee was wonderful, told us how they chose the plants, how to mix the soil, so that if we were to build terrariums on our own we'd be able to do so too. There were plenty of plants to choose from, and lots of decorative rocks, pebbles and branches to add. Thanks for such an amazing morning!
  • 5/5 from Toni Colombo, attended Jun 2026: A really relaxing, thoughtful and fun activity! Great to disconnect and learn about soil, plants and terrariums
  • 5/5 from Samantha Levey, attended May 2026: We loved our session. Not too many people, the teacher was lovely and helpful. Lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon
  • 5/5 from Gayle, attended Mar 2026: I was given this as a gift and had a wonderful experience. We had some fun with mindfulness work up to get us into the right head space. A bit of fun. Making our terrarium was easy with clear explanations from our teacher, with some funny stories added in. We were all very happy with our end results. We were given instructions on how to keep them alive....hopefully. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was delighted to be given this as a gift. Especially for someone who you may think had everything. For myself at 72, it was perfect. Also great to do it with my daughter in law and son who had bought the gift.
  • 5/5 from Lucy Robson, attended Mar 2026: Learnt so much and enjoyed every minute
  • 5/5 from Jasmine Staunton, attended Jan 2026: Such a fantastic time! Our teacher had the perfect level of assisting and letting us play around and get creative! Extremely fun experience that I definitely recommend
  • 5/5 from Natasha, attended Dec 2025: Renae was a wonderful teacher, patient and kind. I had a great outing with my daughter and we both came away with an amazing terrarium to care for.
  • 5/5 from Alana McQueen, attended Dec 2025: We booked Tipsy Terrarium for our small workplace christmas party and we had a great time! Plenty of food and drink and Renee was a fantastic teacher. We all left with some awesome looking terrariums and care tips. Definitely recommend this workshop!
  • 5/5 from Paige Pegler-Bumstead, attended Dec 2025: Such a fun and relaxing way to spend an afternoon. The size and quality of the end product far exceeded my expectations and the teacher was super friendly, warm, and knowledgable. I look forward to attending another class in the future!
  • 5/5 from Marize Smith, attended Nov 2025: We had a blast at the Tipsy Terrarium class, such chill vibes with a lovely assortment of plants and decorations. Renee was a lovely presence and a great teacher. Definitely will come back for other classes!
  • 5/5 from Caelainn Kanittaa Ferris, attended Nov 2025: Lovely mindful class. The teacher was really friendly and knowledgeable. There was a good variety of plants and materials to use, and a nice tea and biscuit station too. Thank you Renee :)
  • 5/5 from Leanne Se Peteo, attended Sep 2025: The Tranquil Terrarium Class was amazing. The teacher, Maddie, was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. The class was fun, easy to follow and very relaxing. I totally enjoyed creating my beautiful terrarium. Booking my class was easy online with my gift voucher.
  • 5/5 from Denise McDonald, attended Aug 2025: It was an awesome and fun event.
  • 5/5 from Catherine Berryman, attended Jun 2025: Attended with class with a friend, and we really enjoyed making lovely little terrariums. There was a good variety of plants to use, but no moss. No decorations/figurines provided to use in the terrarium though. Teacher was very nice and helpful, although she combined 2 classes, so there were a lot of people and she was a stretched a little thin attention-wise The advertised cup of tea and 'nibbles' were a little underwhelming (one plate with a few biscuits, tiny paper cups, very small choice of tea only). Better to not advertise that IMO, and just leave it as a gardening class.
  • 5/5 from Liam Barker, attended Apr 2025: Great fun, lovely teacher!
  • 5/5 from Ilda Tripodi, attended Mar 2025: Such a fun morning creating our terrariums with the plant whisperer. A must do activity and an absolute wonderful gift for those loved ones who like to bring out their creative side. Will treasure mine and show it some love every day
  • 5/5 from Kirsty Mungly, attended Mar 2025: Very interactive and interesting class! The teacher was very friendly and explained the process really well! We learnt lots doing this workshop and came out with lovely terrariums with pretty cool plants and designs! Great gift idea
  • 5/5 from Micky Driscoll, attended Feb 2025: Great selection of plants and Hayley is so generous with her knowledge. Calm atmosphere.
  • 5/5 from Olivia Grey, attended Feb 2025: We had such a great time!! Celebrating my sisters hens, and it was the perfect activity. Everyone has loved their terrariums and keep talking about how much fun they had. It was so well guided without feeling overwhelming. So many options for decorating. Loved it, and will be back!!
  • 4/5 from Eressea Cross, attended Feb 2025: Was a great class, we learned a lot about making a terrarium and there were lots of plants to choose from. My only feedback would be to have the cheese platter individualised for each group eg: we were a group of 4, there were other groups of 2, it would be nice if each group just had their own plate to be sharing from on the table, rather than the whole class touching the same cheese board.
  • 5/5 from Sandie Cameron, attended Jan 2025: Absolutely great! I was gifted this class as a Birthday present and attended with my partner. The instructor Renee was friendly, welcoming and informative. The class was loads of fun but also came away feeling like we’d learned a lot. The terrariums we made are super cool (even if we do say so ourselves!). There were plenty of plants to choose from and lots of materials.
  • 5/5 from Kanchani Galagedara, attended Jan 2025: The Plant Whisperer - Haylee was an extraordinary teacher. We had an incredible time, and as plant lovers, we discovered a wonderful experience. Creating our terrarium was not only enjoyable, but we also gained valuable insights. We're excited to return for a different class and embrace new learning opportunities!
  • 5/5 from Toska Hiraeth, attended Dec 2024: Renee was an amazing teacher ^__^ We had an absolute blast!
  • 5/5 from Caroline Pritchard, attended Dec 2024: We loved this class! It was fun, a nice activity as a group and we had something lovely to take home at the end of it! Renae gave easy instructions and was very helpful when we didn't get it quite right, she was also relaxed as we chatted during the activity. Would definitely recommend this as a group task with something special to show for it!

  • 5/5 from Lachy Moroney, attended Oct 2024: The tranquil terrarium workshop was the perfect gift for my mum’s birthday.

  • 5/5 from Samuel de Jong, attended Aug 2024: Renee was an engaging, patient, and rewarding instructor who gave us an appreciation of the fun and art of terrarium making. The morning session with tea and bikkies made us feel at home in the workshop, and our terraria are lovely mementos of that time. The complimentary how-to pamphlet will be revisited ad infinitum now that the crafting seed has taken root. Thank you for having us—we recommend this class whole-heartedly!
