Our Live/Box classes have been featured on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Vogue, and more. Here's how it works:

Book or Request your preferred time
We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft kit containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and you'll get your box delivered in time for your class. This particular craft kit only ships to NSW, VIC, QLD, SA.
Enjoy the online class. After booking, you'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. At the time of the class, use that link to join. During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

What you'll do

In this relaxing live online class, you will learn how to make a regular-sized terrarium.

You will learn about soil layering and composition, how to pick the right plants for your environment, and then how to care for your beautiful little garden so that it thrives in the years to come, with minimal maintenance required.

We’ll have an interesting range of tropical plants, rocks and playful figurines for you to choose from in your craft box, as well as of course the glass vase and soil. Pick what you like and personalise your little garden just the way you like it.

This class includes all materials in your craft box to create your miniature world and up to three beautiful plants for a regular-sized terrarium.

The Plant Whisperer is an offer from Melbourne's own queen of the jungle, Haylee Magendans. Haylee is an avid nature lover and obsessive plant collector who's plant knowledge is second to none. Five years ago, Haylee left an unfulfilling corporate job to focus full time on her creative pursuits and her other passion, yoga, and she's happy to say it was the best decision she's ever made. Haylee now focuses almost solely on plants and plant workshops and runs some other creative events from time to time

My mission is to brighten bodies and homes with beautiful, well made and original pieces and luscious jungle plants. My work is continuously changing and evolving with my current inspirations and all items are one off or limited numbers. If you have something special you would like custom made, or for wholesale enquiry please get in touch.

“Most beautiful thing ive ever made, It’s just so lovely we have these events and I can use my new skills with zoom to access them. I am so thankful its must so exiting real achievement. “

Hi to the Events team,
A very big thank you for organising today’s terrarium event.

It was the best few hours I’ve had for a few weeks.
Life has been challenging as a Carer & then a hospital stay for myself.
I feel brighter this morning participating in this fun event.
Hayley was excellent & it was lovely having interaction from other carers.

Sadly my glass bowl arrived with a break in the side of it , plus broken plant.

I enjoyed learning from Hayley today & if it is possible I would love to participate in the
plant ball session , if that is ok.

I loved seeing what the other ladies had made with their terrariums & I have lots of ideas to follow up on.
Like visiting an op shop to source vessels & to involve my grandson in helping to create terrariums for gift making, when we are able to leave the house post Covid

Kind thanks for the bright spot of my last few weeks.

Hailey ran a fabulous class for our team’s Christmas party. She brought all the equipment required to our office, including a great range of plants. Strongly recommend this class. Thank you!

Great teacher. Learnt a lot from Hayley about Terrariums. Got a lot of variety of plants to choose from. Really enjoyed my day and the best part was what I took home.

A great activity, very clear instructions (and care instructions too) and as a complete beginner I was able to achieve success very quickly. I am inspired to keep building now that I know how. I also have a home worthy of the figures I had (forest spirits from two different movies).

My ten year old daughter created this with me assisting with the instruction sheet. She loved it and the terrarium looks amazing. The plants are just beautiful and she is very proud of her creation that is sitting on her desk. As a visual learner it would be great to have a video to watch along with the instructions but they were very clear for me to help her. Highly recommended and love the decorations included also. Thank you !
