How can we help?
Q: Do I need any experience?
Not at all. Our workshops are designed for complete beginners, and I'll guide you through every step. Most people who attend have never built a terrarium before.
Q: How long does the workshop run?
Most workshops run for around 90 minutes. It gives everyone plenty of time to build their terrarium, ask questions, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.
Q: Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. Many people do. The workshops have a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, and it's a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Of course, you're also welcome to bring a friend or make it a date.
Q: How do I care for my terrarium afterwards?
I'll show you everything you need to know during the workshop. Closed terrariums are wonderfully low maintenance, and you'll head home with the confidence to help yours thrive.
Q: Are terrariums difficult to look after?
Not at all. That's one of the things people love most about them. Once established, closed terrariums create their own tiny ecosystem and usually only need minimal care.
Q: Is this suitable as a gift?
Definitely. A workshop makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, or anyone who enjoys trying something creative and taking home something they'll enjoy for years.
Q: Can you cater for private groups or corporate events?
Yes. I offer private workshops for birthdays, hens parties, team building, and other special occasions. If you're planning something for a group, I'd love to hear from you.
Q: What ages is this class suitable for?
A: Adults & 10+ years. An adult must accompany any attending kids, and must pay for a separate ticket.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: Free to cancel or reschedule up until 3 days before the class

Hi, I'm Samar, the founder of AO Terrarium, and I'm a little obsessed with tiny ecosystems.What started as a curiosity quickly turned into a passion for creating miniature worlds that bring a little more nature indoors. I loved that a terrarium could be both beautiful and surprisingly easy to care for. It challenged the idea that you need a "green thumb" to enjoy plants.That passion eventually grew into AO Terrarium, where I design premium terrariums and host relaxed workshops that help people discover just how enjoyable terrarium building can be.Teaching has become one of my favourite parts of the business. There's something really special about watching someone arrive saying, "I'm terrible with plants, " then leave an hour later proudly carrying home a thriving terrarium they built themselves. Seeing that confidence grow is incredibly rewarding.My workshops are designed to feel more like catching up with friends over coffee than sitting in a classroom. We chat, get our hands dirty, enjoy a few treats, and I'll guide you through each step so you can create something you'll be proud to take home. No experience is needed.One thing many people don't realise is that closed terrariums create their own little ecosystem. The water inside continually cycles through evaporation and condensation, which means they need very little maintenance once established. It's one of the reasons I fell in love with them in the first place.Every terrarium I create has been thoughtfully designed to be beginner-friendly while still looking beautiful enough to become part of your home. I love blending natural textures with a clean, modern aesthetic, making terrariums feel approachable without compromising on quality.Since starting AO Terrarium, I've had the privilege of introducing hundreds of people to the joy of building their own tiny ecosystems through workshops and handcrafted terrariums. Whether you're joining a workshop on your own, planning a creative catch-up with friends, or looking for a unique team-building experience, my goal is always the same: to help you slow down, create something beautiful, and leave thinking, "I could absolutely do this."I can't wait to create with you.
