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.

Some recent reviews for our Terrarium classes

Melanie Young

Terrarium Workshop for Beginners



This was a great class and priced really well given you can buy a pre-made terrarium for the same price. Teacher was great - really friendly, explained things well and was happy to come around and answer any questions we had. I loved that they have little trinkets and toys you can include in your terrarium (I went with an African safari theme with some cute plastic animals).

Workshop has moved to a new venue in Redfern and it's really great (it's also much much warmer than the last place which is great as we did the class during winter). The teacher was happy for us to stay around until we'd finished the terrarium (so even though the class is 1 hour it's really not - we were there for quite awhile).

I enjoyed the class, but now have to decide what to do with the extra plants my daughter bought. It was easy to follow and we could ask questions if needed.
I will add the photos - I could only load one as when I placed the second one in the box, first disappeared.
Thank you

I absolutely loved the terrarium workshop! The teacher was so relaxed and helpful and shared knowledge and tips for our plants at home as well as guiding us through our terrarium making.
All the equipment and items were beautiful and there was great variety of rocks, stones, plants and even little handmade, stone animals to put in the terrarium!
It was great value for money and I would definitely do another workshop here! The venue was beautiful and the work station was set up very well with lots of room and the teacher made us all a tea to sip on while we worked away! :) love
