Greenhouse Terrarium Workshop

A closed greenhouse terrarium is one of nature's small miracles — a self-sustaining ecosystem sealed in glass that thrives on almost nothing. Once built correctly, it can flourish for years with minimal care.At Merchant & Green, we've been teaching Sydney how to build them since 2015 — longer than any other florist or workshop studio in the city. In this one-hour class, expert florist Chris Saban and his team will guide you through every step — from drainage and soil layering to plant placement and decorative styling — so you leave with something genuinely beautiful and built to last.Choose from three sizes at checkout — Regular, Medium or Large — each using the same premium materials and expert guidance.What You'll LearnHow a closed greenhouse terrarium works as a self-sustaining ecosystemHow to layer drainage, soil and moss for long-term plant healthHow to select and position plants for balance, growth and visual harmonyHow to style your terrarium using decorative stones and natural elementsHow to care for your terrarium once you take it homeEverything provided — just arrive and create.The ExperienceMerchant & Green is a working florist and plant studio — not a craft classroom.
