Recent reviews of Terrarium Construction and Design Class

• 5/5 from Daniel Shane Pinker, attended Mar 2026: I really enjoyed the variety of rocks and plants available. Both teachers were very helpful and knowledgeable about terrarium making, and they explained everything clearly. They made the experience enjoyable and easy to follow.
• 3/5 from Lauren Hassan, attended Mar 2026: Really knowledgable host, and loads of materials to choose from, end product is great. However the class ran over by an hour and left us late for other plans, despite being told the class would finish on time. We probably could’ve cut down on a few things to save time. It’s a shame, we felt so stressed about being late that it ruined half of the experience for us. We were also promised a terrarium care guide, which we still haven’t received, even after I have followed up twice.
• 4/5 from Lorraine Maple, attended Jan 2026: Teacher was very informative and friendly. I was happy with my terrarium and leant a lot, but was disappointed with the late change in venue on the morning of the class and had to find and make other arrangements to get there.
• 5/5 from Sherl Westlund, attended Jan 2025: Lots of fun with a very knowledgeable teacher. Thank you so much.
• 4/5 from Claire Hughes, attended Jan 2025: Teacher was knowledgeable, calm and very helpful despite a last minute change of venue which I’m sure was not her fault. She answered each of our questions individually and with an explanation as to why it was important that we follow that advice. A very pleasant afternoon.

Great variety of plants, decorative stones and drift wood to pick from. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a cute date idea or unique birthday present.
• 5/5 from Ann Macdonald, attended Aug 2023: Very informative teacher. Lots of explanation and help constructing the project for those who needed it.
• 5/5 from Kyla Ramsey, attended Jul 2023: Super cosy class! Instructor set us up with everything we needed to know about terrariums and was happy to give out any additional info, she even gave us contact info in case we had any questions outside of the class! The materials she made sure to use were super accessible while also including springtails (which are less easy to obtain) and a variety of plants to chose to use when building our terrariums. Was a really fun date+birthday present for my partner who started terrariums as a hobby recently :)

I will be recommending Life In A Jar to everyone I know, and some that I don’t.
• 4/5 from Susan Byrne, attended May 2023: Following some delays our class got underway and was great. The materials provided for us were a good collection to be able to create our own mini master pieces the teachers were very helpful and able to make sure we went away with a completed terrarium ready to place in our homes. I loved completing the workshop with my mum, sister and daughter, it was the perfect gift for everyone and a fantastic way to celebrate all their special occasions.

• 5/5 from Danielle Smith, attended Feb 2023: A really fun class and great value for money! Jo was a lovely instructor who was well educated on the content and was hands on when needed. Class was easy to follow for beginners and the variety of included supplies was great for making a unique terrarium. Would absolutely recommend this class to others!
• 5/5 from Bronwen Torelli, attended Feb 2023: Jo is straight up an amazing, collected, and charismatic teacher. The class was extremely well setup, and extremely well taught. You’ll learn how to (and assemble) your own terrarium throughout the few hours and be taught everything you need to both maintain your brand new terrarium as well as head out in to the world and start crafting more. Jo hand picks EVERYTHING! Flowers, moss, the terrarium jars, even down to the stones used in the class! Every step is explained thoroughly and Jo’s patience and love for their craft shows in every step of the class. We did this class as a Hens-Day activity, it was nice and aircon’d, easy for everyone to follow, and gave everyone something to take home ad well. We had a few first-time gardeners and they absolutely loved it! Could not rate it more highly! Absolutely wonderful class. Well worth it for any person with even a remote interest in art, gardens, and general creativity!
• 5/5 from Neelam Dajee, attended Feb 2023: Great class! Loved the explanations behind each step and what each plant would contribute to our terrarium, the hour and a half flew by soooo quick as a result! It was a really immersive and fruitful experience and I'd consider returning again because Tanya has so much knowledge and the class was fun.
• 5/5 from Duong Ngo, attended Feb 2023: A throughly enjoyable class. Jo was very generous with her time, knowledge and materials. We were well supported with terrarium construction essentials and design ideas, but also encouraged to trial and develop our own styles too. Jo patiently guided us through the steps so we came away with a greater appreciation for terrarium making, but most importantly a lovely terrarium to keep and enjoy.
• 4/5 from Tracy Allan, attended Feb 2023: Teacher was informative and helpful. Had a fun afternoon learning about Terraniums and am very happy with my terranium.
• 4/5 from Mandy Strano, attended Feb 2023: Enjoyed the class. Made a beautiful terrarium and learnt a lot about how to make them. Can’t wait to see how it grows.
• 5/5 from Louise McClelland, attended Jan 2023: Jo was fantastic! Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Everything we needed was provided with a selection of plants so we could tailor our terrariums to suit our personal tastes. The venue was lovely, easy to find and nice and bright and airy. Absolutely value for money, I’ll be doing another class with Jo soon for sure. 10/10 can’t recommend highly enough!
