Fun Terrarium classes / courses in Sydney

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to build your own terrarium, you’ve probably noticed that it’s a delicate hobby. You need to know a lot about plant science to pull it off with success. That’s why it can be helpful to have a plant expert teach you the basics like soil nutrition, water retention, lighting, and more. Without these helpful hints, you might end up with a closed terrarium that is closed for business. You wouldn’t be the only one with a DIY terrarium that looked great at first and then withered away.

ClassBento has put together a list of the best terrarium workshops in Sydney so that you never have to be worried about terrarium failure. You’ll learn from experienced terrarium teachers who can boil down their extensive knowledge about plant science to practical tips for at-home botanists. These are the best terrarium teachers in Sydney, and you’ll learn more from them than you would by searching for DIY terrariums online. Plus, these terrarium workshops are some of the most fun things to do in Sydney. 

Regardless of your hesitations about taking a terrarium class, such as a busy schedule or worry that you’re just not an adequate plant caretaker, you can put them behind you. With a variety of different terrarium workshops to choose from, you’ll find classes that fit into your schedule and are designed for your skill level. Beginners moss terrariums, for instance, are some of the most enjoyable things to do in Sydney at night so that you can stop by after work. Or, you might arrange for a weekend succulent terrariums class. There are even workshops in Bondi Beach for bottle terrariums in case you want to schedule in some fun terrarium classes during your trip to the beach. 

Terrarium classes are also some of the most engaging things to do in Sydney in a group. If you’re looking for indoor activities Sydney residents can enjoy for birthdays or other celebrations, terrarium workshops are the perfect creative class to try. And if you’re looking for things to do in Sydney with kids, learning how to build your own terrarium is both educational and fun. It’s the perfect activity for those upcoming Sydney school holidays. Terrarium workshops are a sure way to improve workplace wellbeing by incorporating them into your regular team bonding activities. Your workplace will transform once everyone has their own DIY terrariums to place on their desks. And, terrarium workshops make excellent experience gifts in Sydney.

Terrarium classes are the perfect balance of learning and doing. Your passionate terrarium teacher will share all of their wisdom about how to create the perfect DIY terrariums. You’ll learn so much about what plants need from their environment to thrive in their little self-contained bottle or glass so that they’ll survive long after the class is over. And then, you’ll get the chance to get your hands dirty by creating your own terrarium to take home. After you learn how to make a terrarium in these fun terrarium workshops, you’ll be giving them as gifts to all your friends and loved ones.

Health benefits of terrarium 

Just like having a vase of flowers or a fish tank in your home, DIY terrariums will give your space a sense of calm and connection to nature. Looking into your self-sustaining terrarium will give you such a feeling of peace and tranquillity that you might even find yourself falling into a little meditation session every time you glance at it. Plus, you’ll have so much fun creating your own little floral ecosystem and meeting other plant-loving friends in Sydney.

Pam was an excellent instructor and all our participants (predominantly male) were engaged and had a great time in this workshop!

Pam came to our offsite venue with all the materials, and we didn't have to prepare anything. I was happy to be able to arrange something very different for our team to do together.

Loved this class! The location was lovely (at their shop in Bourke St), and Nicole greeted us and settled us in with a cup of herbal tea. Our tutor Chris was awesome, very knowledgeable and happy to chat about plants in general (I'm an orchid enthusiast and I got a few great tips). There were plenty of supplies, and Chris encouraged us to give our terrarium our own touches; everyone's looked individual and special. The class size of six was perfect, and my friend and I had a great time. Chris also gave us enough information about how to create our own terrariums at home. I thoroughly recommend this class!

It was a lovely class with 6 attendees in total with a great light atmosphere. Chris was knowledgable and friendly.
We each ended up with a medium sized bowl with 3 succulents.
We got tea, banter, fun and the whole experience was great.

Great class with such a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. I'm a nervous person but I had a lot of fun and despite the unfortunate power failure in the region, it was resolved quickly with romantic candle lights. Though the lights did eventually turn on again. Great people, service, plants and overall I love it. The terrariums turned out better than I expected.

Teachers were friendly, casual and very knowledgeable about their work. The class was done in the their beautiful florist store and amidst their flowers and ferns! Materials were all provided, along with a rustic apron to truly get into the spirit of things. A relaxing and creative way to spend time with your partner or bestie. Thanks Merchant and Green!

My husband gave this class to me as a Christmas present and I was delighted with his choice. The teachers were friendly and knowledgeable, kept the class running despite the minor setback of a blackout in the area and were attentive to each of the students. We were shown how to build up our dry terrarium glass bowl with each layer of material, receiving information on the purpose of each and important tips on things to avoid. I left the class with a beautiful succulent terrarium and the knowledge of how to build my own terrarium at home. I learnt that it is possible to propagate new succulents from broken off 'leaves' and am showering TLC on the pieces I took home in the hope that I will be able to use some of them in the next terrarium I make.
The venue was lovely. I enjoyed being surrounded by the beautiful indoor plants and cut flowers. This class is highly recommended.
