Air Plant Seascape Terrarium Workshop

Add a little piece of coastal paradise for your home using air plants in Adelaide!



70 mins Location Port Noarlunga Class size 1 to 13 guests   $52 (Afterpay available)

In this delightful terrarium class in Adelaide, you'll learn the ins and outs of caring for air plants while creating your very own beachy terrarium. Don't worry if you're new to this, Charlene from Botanista will guide you through the process with ease.
The first half of the workshop is air plants 101, where you'll discover the basics of air plant care, including types, watering and light requirements, pests and propagation. These low-maintenance plants are perfect for anyone who might not have the greenest thumb.
Next, you'll dive into the fun part - creating your own unique seascape terrarium! Starting with a 15cm diameter terrarium, you'll layer in coloured sands, then add shells, preserved mosses, and other treasures to bring a touch of coastal magic to your creation.
The best part? Air plants don't require planting in soil, so you can easily arrange them on any dry medium. Plus, they only need a light misting of water once a week, making them a breeze to care for.
If you're feeling extra enchanted by these little plants, you can even add an extra air plant to your terrarium on the day, with a special 20% discount.
By the end of this class, you'll have your very own beachy terrarium, complete with an air plant of your choosing.
This is a workshop that not only teaches you a new skill but also allows you to take home a piece of coastal magic to brighten up your space. So why wait? Come and join us for a day of creativity and learning!
