Mindful Terrarium Workshop

Take a creative break and connect with nature! Join me for a hands-on workshop where you'll create your own closed tropical terrarium with a lid - a beautiful glass garden that brings life to your space.

In this intimate small-group workshop, you'll build a thriving mini ecosystem from start to finish while learning easy care tips and simple mindfulness practices. This workshop combines the meditative quality of working with plants with the joy of creating something beautiful.

You'll learn:

• How to build a closed terrarium step-by-step
• Plant selection for thriving terrariums
• Maintenance techniques to keep your ecosystem healthy
• Mindfulness practices that connect terrarium care to self-care
• How springtails act as natural "janitors" to keep your terrarium balanced

This workshop is designed for all skill levels, especially beginners. You'll work with premium materials in a relaxed, supportive environment where you can express creativity, reduce stress, and meet fellow plant enthusiasts.

By the end, you'll have your own unique terrarium with live springtails and practical skills that extend beyond this creative experience into everyday life.
