FAQ

Where can I do a succulent terrarium workshop in Sydney?
Merchant & Green at 686 Bourke Street, Redfern offers Sydney's most established succulent terrarium workshop, running regularly from their boutique florist studio with over 10 years of teaching experience. The one-hour class guides complete beginners through creating a sculptural open succulent landscape — choosing from one, two or three premium succulents arranged in a glass vessel with decorative stones and moss. Priced from $85pp with three plant options at checkout, public classes accommodate up to 8 guests with private corporate bookings available for groups of 8–30.
What is the difference between a succulent terrarium and a greenhouse terrarium?
A succulent terrarium is an open glass vessel containing drought-tolerant succulent plants arranged in a decorative landscape of soil, stones and moss — low maintenance, architectural and long-lasting, requiring only occasional watering. A greenhouse terrarium is a closed glass container that creates a self-sustaining sealed ecosystem, using tropical plants and moss that thrive in the humid environment with almost no watering at all. At Merchant & Green in Redfern, both formats are available as separate workshops — the Succulent Terrarium Workshop starts from $85pp and the Greenhouse Terrarium Workshop starts from $115pp, with the greenhouse version available in three sizes.
How many succulents can I make in a succulent terrarium workshop?
At Merchant & Green's Succulent Terrarium Workshop in Redfern, students choose their plant count at checkout — one succulent ($85), two succulents ($110) or three succulents ($130). All three options use the same glass vessel, premium materials, expert florist guidance and herbal tea on arrival. The Double Plant option is the most popular — two contrasting succulents styled together for visual balance. The Triple Plant option creates a layered desert landscape and is the most impressive take-home. All arrangements are completed in one hour and packaged safely to carry home.
