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.

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

The materials we received were labelled and packaged with care.
Chris was really friendly and informative; the steps were well explained and easy to follow.
The "hand-camera" view as well as the presenter view was a great addition to the Zoom meeting.
We love our new mini-terrariums!

This was so fantastic!! Orla was so lovely to interact with. She was very informative and positive ☺️ The space was fantastic for a private workshop for two and we even enjoyed a peppermint tea whilst we worked. We learnt all about how to care for our new terrariums and what to look out for with them. Amazing value for money! And just so much fun! Thank you to Orla!!! It was even better because of your great help and fun conversation ☺️

This greenhouse terrarium class was a fantastic experience for our girls day out. Chris was extremely accommodating when we needed to change our booking and he created a really relaxing atmosphere for the class. I could feel my stress melting away as I dug my fingers into the moss. I really enjoyed learning about the plants and the little ecosystem they create and it was really interesting to see how different our terrariums looked by using slightly different materials and soil levels to decorate. Great fun and creative experience!!

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.
