Class size 1 to 6 (public classes), 1 to 20
  $110 (Afterpay available)

Looking for a fun, hands-on experience that combines creativity, relaxation, and a little greenery? In this terrarium workshop, you’ll design and build your very own miniature ecosystem to take home and enjoy.
You don’t need to be 'creative' or have a green thumb—this class is perfect for beginners! We’ll guide you step by step, providing everything you need so you can relax and enjoy the process. From layering stones, charcoal, and soil to arranging moss, feature rocks, and easy-care plants, you’ll discover just how simple (and therapeutic) it can be to create your own living work of art.
Along the way, you’ll also add some unique touches—like ornaments, coloured sand, and springtails (your terrarium’s clean-up crew!)—to make your mini world truly one of a kind.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with more than just a beautiful terrarium. You’ll also gain the confidence to care for it long after class, thanks to the expert tips and take-home guide included.
Workshops are kept small (maximum of six people) so you’ll get plenty of support. Come solo or with a friend; it’s the perfect way to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create something lasting.
Come along, get your hands dirty, and leave with a stunning terrarium you’ll be proud to say, “I made this!”

FAQ

What's the easiest way to find your grow studio?
Our studio is located at the back of the complex, so it's easier to enter via the driveway at 11 Canberra Street. Look for the open roller door.
How hard is it to care for a closed terrarium?
Closed terrariums are surprisingly easy to care for! ???? They create their own little ecosystem, so once they’re set up, you’ll only need to add a light mist of water every now and then. The rest is just sitting back and watching nature do its thing.

Leaf Jars
Leaf Jars

female Women-owned

Hi, I’m Trish — wife, mum, creative soul, and plant-loving people person behind Leaf Jars.
I’ve always had a passion for helping people and teaching, but my love of plants really grew during a tough season of life. Playing with plants gave me a sense of calm, helped channel my anxiety, and slowly transformed my home into a place filled with life and beauty. I didn’t start out with a green thumb — in fact, I used to joke about being a “plant killer” — but with patience and practice I learned, and that journey is what I love to share with others.
When I opened my grow studio, moving into terrarium workshops felt like the perfect next step. Teaching beginners to slow down, create, and connect with nature has been such a gift. My favourite moment is seeing someone walk in saying “I’m not creative” or “I can’t keep plants alive” — and leaving with a terrarium they can’t stop smiling at, plus the confidence to care for it.
For me, Leaf Jars is more than plants. It’s about creating little pockets of calm, sparking creativity, and reminding people that growth is a journey — and you don’t need to have it all figured out to enjoy it.
And when I’m not in the studio, you’ll usually find me with my “boys” (my husband and son), playing with my fur baby Baxter, enjoying coffee with family or friends… or following every Formula 1 race (I’m a true F1 tragic!). ️
