Build a terrarium with Botanical Boys in a fun, engaging and relaxed workshop.  

This class provides a slightly smaller jar than our Masterclass workshop option.  It’s a 20cmH x 14cmW glass jar with cork lid. 

Once built, your garden will require very minimal maintenance and we will teach you all the necessary steps on how to build your garden layer by layer and how to care for it afterwards with our ongoing care service and support for anyone needing some planty advice.  

**What is a Terrarium:**

It's a fascinating enclosed miniature environment of living plants that thrive off moisture that requires minimal interference once established.  

**What we provide:**
-  A warm welcome 
-  A fascinating history talk on terrarium discovery
-  Hands on session learning to build the necessary layers
-  Plant preparation and planting 
-  Decorative stones and moss
-  Terrarium care advice

What terrarium will I make:
- The standard vessel for this class is our slim cork lid glass jar.  Is a bit smaller to our Masterclass jar.  

- **Upgrade options**

Botanical Boys Kings Cross

Had an amazing afternoon with the Botanical Boys! Very fun, friendly and informative. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to try out something new and exciting. Thank you!

I killed my last terranium so decided to give this class a go. It was wonderful. Darryl & Ben have an amazing space with so much inspiration & SO many options to play with (including cute little figures to help add some personality). My creation is awesome, I learnt a lot (including sand layering techniques and plant care) and I had so much fun.

Cannot recommend enough! The class was such a wonderful experience. Darren was an amazing teacher, the location is beautiful and the atmosphere is both fun and peaceful, there are so many inspiring ingredients available to craft your terrarium with, and you get something special to take home and treasure at the end :) I loved it!

When my friends and I signed up for this I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, I had never booked anything through Obby before but I was excited to give it a go. We had an incredible time with the Botanical Boys, Darren and Ben, and cannot recommend their class enough. Being welcomed into their lovely home full of terrarium inspiration, my friends and I had a great time and definitely intend to take another class. Darren was a great instructor who is obviously very knowledgable and incredibly patient while Ben did a great job of making us feel welcome and topping up our prosecco while taking lovely photos of the whole evening. I am really looking forward to my next class!

Bought as a gift and had a great time! They couldn't have been more helpful and we loved the terrarium we took away. Would definitely recommend!

A really enjoyable workshop. Would've loved it to be a bit longer :) nice location and friendly host.

Really great class. Learned a-lot, and had lots of fun! The Botanical Boys were extremely welcoming, helpful and knowledgable, and also have a beautiful workspace! Would definitely recommend.

Really great workshop run by Botanical Boys in their amazing flat in Dalston which is full of terrariums and other lovely decorative pieces! I learned so much about terrariums and even made my own to take home that I feel oonfident I can take care of! We were given red bush tea and prosecco during the class too. This is great idea for a gift to someone as it's an experience that can be shared and you get to take something home. I will definitely do one of their other classes!

We really enjoyed this class. The hosts clearly love what they do, the workshop space is beautiful and packed with inspiration, and we were pleased with our terrarium. Plus a glass of prosecco - what's not to like?

Had a lovely afternoon with Botanical Boys - they shared their passion and skill with us in a welcoming environment. Thank you again!

I absolutely loved this class - friendly and informative hosts, relaxing and fun environment, and I've got a beautiful mini garden to enjoy! I really recommend this class, it's a delight. Thanks!

I booked this workshop for me and my dad, we are both very happy about it! The botanical boys are very very nice and the activity entrateining and satisfactory:)

Absolutely fantastic class! Our instructor was so informative telling us the history behind the terrariums and explained things really well. Amazed we all managed to make something so pretty but our teacher was great.The prosecco was an added bonus! Was so good I’ll be buying as a present for some friends :-) thanks for an excellent time!

The class was absolutely fantastic with just the right mix of informative, fun, relaxed and interesting. Came away with a terrarium to be proud of and a desire to create another! Very highly recommended and great teachers/hosts!

We loved this class! It's a really personal affair in The Botanical Boys' dining room, with a small group. Great value and attention to each student.

Terrarium Introduction Jar Class - Bible Factory Studio!

Rosie Dunjay

Really great, fun and informative class with prosecco thrown in to make it the 5 stars it deserves! 

Oliver Wheaton

The class was excellent. The guys who run it are really nice, funny, and know their stuff. Everyone in the class made a great Terrarium and we were allowed to take them home - plus there was prosecco!
The only comment I would have for the botanical boys is that they kept showing us weird things they had been given that we could put in our Terrarium, like toy dinosaurs and cocktail flare sticks - maybe reel this in a bit and just let people enjoy the natural aspect of it a bit more. This is a small qualm though, because the class was incredible and I would highly recommend it.

Stella Lucas

The workshop was brilliant from start to end. The teachers were very warm, knowledgable and created a lovely and relaxed atmosphere. The terrarium intro led us through all the steps to create our very own Terrarium! It was so much more and better than i expected! Thank you guys. 

Jemma Rimmer

Lovely mothers day gift. Really great workshop, very relaxing and informative. Guided through all the steps and leave with lovely terranium. Also got some prosecco! Thanks very much. 

Marley Lester

Me and my mum had a fantastic time and it allowed us to bond over something fun! Thank you again! I’ll probably be back soon haha!

Bekky Woolley

The workshop was ace, we had a great time! Adam was really friendly and informative, and making the terrarium was relaxing and a lot of fun. 

Jo Westley

SO much fun! The studio was a sight to behold, the Botanical Boys are clearly passionate about all things plants and beauty. Adam was a wonderful teacher, making us all feel at ease and helped us make gorgeous terrariums. We WILL be back!!! 

Laura Foulger

What a lovely class. The Botanical Boys are living out their dream, caring for plants, creating beautiful terrariums and spreading the love. The location was stunning: a tower full to the brim with green life. I'm really pleased with my terrarium. There was tons of choice when it came to things like stones, gravel and decoration, and the plants themselves were healthy and pretty. The green tea on arrival and the Prosecco was a nice touch. 

I left feeling utterly soothed and pleased with myself by the time I left with my terrarium, and it's doing really well at home. There's plenty of aftercare info available from The Botanical Boys so I'm not worried if anything goes wrong with it; I'll be able to put it right.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the workshop to anybody, whether they're green fingered or not.

Lily Crombe

Fantastic! Informative, fun and with a beautiful terrarium to take home!

phoebe Christoforou

Terrarium Class - Upgrade Vessels Available

Sam Dickson

My partner and I attended a Terrarium Class a few weeks ago after getting the experience for my partners birthday. We were made to wait for the experience due to COVID-19 but it was worth it. Straight from the start we were made to feel welcome and it was fascinating to learn about the history of terrariums, as well as how Botanical Boys got to where they are today. To date, our terrariums look amazing and we hope to get many months out of them. We also got some great tips for looking after plants too, and we’ve already started to see the benefits from some advice! An experience I would definitely recommend to anyone who has A green thumb, or wants to learn more about plants, and it would make a great gift for someone! We will definitely be back! :) 

Nilma Begum

I really enjoyed myself in this class, it was a great mix of education plus practical work. I loved how generous they were with the materials as it really allowed us to make our vessels exactly how we wanted to! 

Jane Dunnett

The class was great fun. Both my daughter and I enjoyed it, and we are very pleased with our terrariums - thank you!

Sam McDonagh

Had a really nice time, relaxed but informative and creative. Would go again.

Sandy Kaur

I really enjoyed this class, it was great to hear the background and make our own Terrarium, the prosecco also went down a treat! Would definitely recommend for something different to do :)

William Blakeman

Loved it! Anyone looking for something new to do this is perfect and great value

Patricia Witte

This class was excellently  presented and carried out , we all left very content and happy with our results.
Enjoyed it so much.
Was entertaining as well as informative by our lovey teacher Micheal. 



Helen Pye

Wonderful class! I went alone and everyone was so friendly, the teacher Michael was so knowledgable and I left with a beautiful terrarium which is thriving. Would definitely come back to make another.


Samira Sharples

The terrarium class was great - the hosts were so friendly and helpful, and did a great job of walking us through how to make a terrarium. The whole session worked really well and was organised brilliantly. I'd 100% recommend everyone checks out the Botanical Boys :-)

Honor Brannelly

Ellie Mayes

Really fun, it was great to spend time getting creative, learning about nature. 

Louise Marston

Fun bday gift activity for a friend. Nice planty/workshopy area n people. Was good to get a drink, terrarium history intro, info about terrariums eg the layers needed, care, biology etc. Liked that they "hid" dinosuars around the room that you can add to your terrarium. The plants included (fittonias) were nice but would have been better to have another variety included in the price instead of £5 upgrade choice ie as standard get maybe 2 fittonias in diff colours n a diff plant. Came home with a decent piece thats still alive.

Zeynep Dogan

Loved the workshop! The team was lovely, very helpful and great teachers. It was a very fun and great experience to learn more about planting and keeping plants alive! I booked this class for me and my two friends as a birthday surprise and we had a blast. 

Maja undefined

It was a really great class! Excellent facilitator. Had so much fun and really connected to nature. They're amazing at explaining what we're doing and why. And I can't wait to make more terrariums.

Jonny Lam

Had an awesome experience at this terrarium class. Great vibe from all the team at Botanical Boys and I came a way with a new found connection with nature. Highly recommended!! 

Fiona Hughes

We utterly loved the terrarium beginners class, and are already planning going back for the advanced one! Our host was super-charismatic and made it so fun. The quality of the plants and equipment was excellent and several weeks on, our terrariums are thriving! Honestly couldn't recommend it enough and have already raved about it to friends, who have already booked! 

Valerie Vong

I really enjoyed this class, Daniel and Neo were really helpful and they just brought the happy vibes. I would highly recommend for anyone who just wants some normality.

I'd highly recommend this class as to gift to someone who enjoys botanicals and a quality product  and service. Thank you! 

Stephanie Rallison

Both my partner and I loved the experience, our two terrariums sit happily in our bookcase. Michael has amazing horticultural knowledge and made the whole experience fun and informative. 
Don’t let the covid restrictions put you off booking. Temperature checks and hand sanitiser was done, all tools are sterilised, alongside mask wearing during the experience. But once you get your hands stuck in you don’t notice that mask feeling.

Absolutely brilliant, loved it. Informative, fun and super friendly. High recommend.

Enjoyed creating a beautiful terrarium!  

Rachna Kanwar

Thank you Cameron for making yesterday a fun evening. I learnt a lot about the history of terrariums, their construction and care. For future ref it would be good to have an idea of the size of jar, even a picture for when people are booking the course. Also, it would be good to have other plants to choose from for an upgrade part from the fern which was beautiful but I think I would've preferred a Ginseng tree. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed the session and wondered if you did a more advanced course.

Karen Richardson

We had a lovely time. Cameron was patient and generous with his advice, and full of fun facts. Really pleased with my first terrarium!  Will strongly recommend.

Ana Martins

Robyn Britz

Very fun time, Cameron was so great and explained everything so well. Would recommend for something different. So nice to take my terrarium home

Loved every minute.  Wonderful way to celebrate a birthday with family.  Cameron was fun and informative.  He was a delight.  Thank you for a great evening!

Fareeha Mufti

Michael was a great teacher and I managed to learn so much! Would highly recommend this class for a fun night and if anyone is interested in starting a new hobby! 

michael mccarthy

Fun, interesting... Michael was a great host!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this class - Michael was engaging and made the class both informative and fun.
I haven't given the class 5 stars as I felt that value for money was slightly off balance.  I upgraded to the smaller egg vessel for an extra £30 and seemed to use less materials  as the base is so much smaller than the standard class jar size - but then still charged an extra £5 for an asparagus fern to put in istead.  But otherwise a good class.  Thak you.    

Great course in pleasant atmosphere. Very pleased with the terrarium.

Come and experience a taste of Terrarium garden design. You will learn the history and create your very own living garden in a glass jar. A perfect gift!!

This was a lovely evening! Our host Tiernan was great, answering all our questions on the wine and the plants and generally providing great entertainment.
