Terrarium Workshops: Creative, Grounding, and Built to Last
There is something uniquely satisfying about building a terrarium with your own hands.
Terrarium workshops combine creativity, nature, and connection in a way that feels both exciting in the moment and meaningful long after the workshop ends. Whether you are brand new to plants or already have a growing collection, a terrarium workshop offers a hands-on experience that is approachable, grounding, and surprisingly lasting.
At Lauren and Plants, terrarium workshops are designed to be welcoming, beginner-friendly, and set up for long-term success.
Why Terrarium Workshops Are So Enjoyable
(The Short-Term Benefits)
In the short term, terrarium building is simply fun.
You get to:
Create something from start to finish
Work with your hands and natural materials
Step away from screens and daily distractions
Learn something new in a relaxed environment
Getting your hands in soil, moss, and plants has been shown to help reduce stress and support mental clarity. Studies around horticultural therapy and hands-on creative activities suggest that working with plants can lower cortisol levels, improve mood, and promote a sense of calm and focus.
Many people leave a workshop feeling lighter, more grounded, and energized, not because it’s complicated, but because it’s tactile, creative, and present.
Terrarium workshops offer a pause from the rush of everyday life and invite you to slow down, create, and enjoy the process.
The Long-Term Joy of a Terrarium
What makes a terrarium workshop especially meaningful is that the experience doesn’t end when the workshop does.
Unlike many creative classes, you leave with a living piece that continues to grow.
A well-built terrarium:
Evolves over time
Responds to its environment
Creates an ongoing connection to the experience
At Lauren and Plants workshops, every participant is guided through plant selection, layering, design, and care. The goal is not just to make something beautiful in the moment, but to set you up for long-term success.
When cared for properly, a terrarium can be enjoyed for years. Watching new growth emerge over time becomes a quiet reminder of the day you built it and the care you continue to give it.
Beginner-Friendly and Designed for Success
Terrarium workshops are often associated with intimidation, but they don’t need to be.
These workshops are intentionally structured to meet people where they are. Whether you have never owned a plant or already love caring for them, guidance is provided every step of the way.
Participants choose from:
A curated selection of begonias and terrarium-friendly plants
Decorative accents to personalize their design
A provided glass vessel or the option to bring their own
Every workshop is designed to feel supportive, approachable, and achievable.
