Create your own beautiful living terrarium to take home and enjoy.
Join the team at Sprouts of Bristol for a relaxed and creative workshop where you'll build your own miniature forest in a jar.
During this two-hour experience you'll learn how to create a closed forest terrarium – a self-contained ecosystem where plants, moisture and air work together to form a thriving little world. Using layers of substrate, lush greenery and natural materials, your terrarium will grow into a beautiful living landscape you can enjoy at home for years.
Your workshop will be led by one of the knowledgeable Sprouts team, all trained by founder Jessy to share the techniques we use to create the terrariums you see in our shop.
During the workshop you will:
🌿 Learn how closed forest terrariums work
🌿 Build your terrarium step-by-step with expert guidance
🌿 Choose from ferns, mosses and natural hardscape materials
🌿 Learn how to care for your terrarium
🌿 Take home your finished living terrarium
All plants, materials and tools are provided so you can simply relax and enjoy the creative process.
We’ll also provide tea, coffee and sweet treats from 404 Bakes while you craft your miniature forest.
These workshops are also BYOB, so feel free to bring your favourite tipple. Alternatively, our friends at The Green Man pub just up the road are happy to provide takeaway drinks.
Perfect for plant lovers, date nights, or creative afternoons with friends.
