Rainforest Terrarium Workshop

Build your own miniature ecosystem, in Sydney's Inner West Jungle Warehouse Makerspace



1.5 hours Location Forest Lodge Class size 1 to 22 (public classes), 8 to 60   $99 (Afterpay available)

Come and join us at Sydney’s Inner City jungle warehouse makerspace. Stepping into a warehouse filled with over 350+ indoor house plants, you’ll be in the best place to do a plant workshop in Sydney.
You will get to do our infamous Rainforest Terrarium Workshop!
Most terrarium workshops have glassware that is open top, so they need to be watered. Our enclosed rainforest terrariums are luscious little worlds that are fully self-sustaining and self-watering. So you get to find it a sweet spot at home and then sit back, relax, and watch your tiny ecosystem thrive.
You will learn all about terrariums, terrarium plants, how to make a terrarium, what is the right glass for terrariums, what different substrate layers people do, how to make substrate, terrarium design, and so much more! You’ll make your own little lush plant world to take home and admire.
Your teacher will also coach you with some of the Plant Doctor’s tips for keeping indoor plants alive, so that you watch and care for your terrarium with confidence!
All our workshops are first-timer friendly, people of all skill levels and ages are welcome. All materials and terrarium plants (3) are provided, and we will have some refreshing drinks for you (alcoholic, or non-alcoholic).
Everything you learn, like the Plant Doctor’s substrate recipe and functional layer design, you can also apply to any cool glassware you might find!
If you’d like to have your own private rainforest terrarium workshop for a team building activity, a hen’s night activity, kid’s birthday party, school holiday activity, a baby shower, a blessing ceremony, Christmas party, adult birthday party, buck’s party activity, or similar, you can make a request on the right side of our ClassBento profile or workshop page click "Request a private class".

  • 5/5 from Annelise Dominello, attended Mar 2026: We did the Rainforest Terrarium class and had a blast! The information was detailed and the feedback is awesome! Ness was awesome when helping and giving advice, and we came home with awesome looking, creative terrariums! Thank you, The Plant Doctor!

  • 5/5 from Hugo Ribeiro, attended Nov 2025: Awesome class. Although the total runtime was far less than the advertised 1.5h, it was more than enough to cover everything we needed to know in detail. Juliette and Nathan were great, explaining each part of the process, giving us tips, and making it an overall great experience. The fact that they do a closed rainforest-like ecosystem was also a plus for me. Definitely recommend it!
  • 5/5 from Georgia McManus, attended Sep 2025: A wonderful workshop in a relaxed setting.

  • 5/5 from Sharon Muffett, attended Dec 2024: A great way to spend and afternoon with friends. Clear instructions and assistance in making our terrariums and good practical tips after foor keeping it alive, which for the black thumbs amongst us was gratefully received.
  • 5/5 from Katriona Robertson, attended Dec 2024: Such a great afternoon designing and creating a perfect little ecosystem! The teachers were supportive and full of the plant knowledge and then I had a beautiful terrarium to take home.
  • 5/5 from Angelina Li, attended Jun 2024: My friend and I did the rainforest terrarium workshop. Our teachers are very informative and knowledgeable. The venue was quite spacious and the program is very organised. The only complaint I have is that there was only 2 sinks for everyone to wash the stones so the line was pretty long. Definitely would recommend to others. I love my terrarium and I love that the plant doctor provided a QR code on how to monitor our terrarium and also happy to answer any questions even after the workshop!
  • 5/5 from Sikiraa Polley, attended May 2024: Hi my name is Siki This class was so fun - my SW Divya came to help me. I chose different sand and soil then pebbles. - I had to measure and cut mesh and layer everything. Lastly I added beautiful plants I can’t wait to show everyone my rainforest terrarium. Everyone was friendly Thank you
  • 3/5 from Simon Witkop, attended Apr 2024: The materials were nice but the workshop felt crowded and rushed. It was shorter than advertised and there was little to no theory.
  • 5/5 from Taylor Tracy, attended Dec 2023: I completed the Rainforest Terrarium Workshop with my mum and sister - it was great fun and excellent value for money and we left feeling that we had learnt heaps of skills that would be applicable for future terrariums. Sabrina, our teacher was excellent and we felt well taken care of. The Nauti studios are really cool inside but it was very hot and accessibility is difficult if you struggle with stairs for any reason. We stood during the workshop which was okay for our party but it is a while on your feet. Overall a fun experience and really happy with our terrariums!

  • 5/5 from Sean Casey, attended Jan 2022: This was a really great starter workshop. My partner and I attended wanting to to do this as a little date activity, and around 20 people in total were in attendance. The distancing was good between groups, and everyone wore masks when they weren't having a sip from their drink. The workshop space itself is on the roof of an older industrial building. It would likely still be quite muggy even during Autumn and Spring. It's really hot, so I would recommend wearing shorts and a T. The instructors were super friendly, approachable and helpful for all our needs. Chris the instructor, when everyone else was out of the room, sneaked over and took some plants we wanted from other groups tables ;) hehehe Left with 2 beautiful designs, a bit of knowledge, and a nice time away from home during this s****y time. Interested in their succulent workshop too! Might hit that up in winter maybe!
  • 5/5 from Angus McPherson, attended Jan 2022: Really great class! We learned a lot and came home with awesome terrariums and new skills.

We highly recommend this experience and would love to make another terrarium in the future.
