Terrarium & Tea: Build a Tiny Living Landscape

Terrarium & Tea: Build a Tiny Living Landscape

Terrarium & Tea is a small, hands-on botanical workshop built around one slow activity:

Creating a miniature living landscape inside glass.

Over a little more than two hours, you'll build your own tabletop terrarium layer by layer - from drainage and substrate to plants, moss and finishing details.

A workshop guide will demonstrate each stage before you begin working on your own piece.

• No experience is required.
• No rushed rotations.
• No loud social games.
• No pressure to make your terrarium look like anyone else's.

The room stays intentionally small at just 18 participants, with low-volume background music and herbal tea available throughout the making portion.

Come alone, come with a friend, or simply spend a Sunday morning making something slowly.

You'll leave with a finished terrarium, a care guide and a small living landscape designed by you.

WHAT YOU'LL MAKE

Each paid in-person attendee builds:

1 tabletop glass terrarium

Standard materials include:

• Glass vessel
• Drainage layer
• Horticultural substrate
• Small terrarium plants
• Moss
• Natural stone / finishing material
• Basic decorative botanical elements

The exact plant varieties may vary according to healthy seasonal availability.

• How terrarium layers work
• Basic drainage principles
• Choosing plant placement
• Creating visual depth
• How much moisture to use
• Light placement at home

This is designed as a beginner-friendly workshop.
