About this class
Create your own terrarium - full guided DIY terrarium workshop in Berlin.
A terrarium is a living, breathing, ever-changing ecosystem. A regenerative world in miniature.
We call it a Holy Forest — not only because it mirrors Planet Earth in a glass vessel, needing almost nothing from the outside (just light!) to sustain life. We call it Holy Forest because of what it awakens in us - humans in the urban environment.
In our workshops, we work with grounding elements: earth, stones, wood, and stunning tropical plants.
You’ll receive everything you need: materials, guidance, and inspiration, to create your personal ecosystem in a beautiful glass vessel.
And you’ll leave with more than just a terrarium. You’ll leave with a pocket of the wild to tend and treasure.
What you’ll do in the class
We’ll meet at our cozy Neukölln studio — or at your chosen venue.
- Introduction
We’ll start by sharing a bit about who we are and what inspires us to create terrariums. - Terrarium History & Science
Before getting creative, we’ll take you on a short journey through the origins of terrariums — how they were discovered and the fascinating science behind these self-sustaining ecosystems. - Layers & Structure
We’ll guide you through the essential layers of a terrarium, the materials we use, and the role each plays in keeping the ecosystem healthy. - Time to Create
Now it’s your turn! You’ll design and build your own terrarium at your own pace, while we’re there to support, guide, and answer any questions. - Design Tips
We’ll share tips on how to create depth and dimension — like adding terraces, steps, or paths — plus advice on planting order and placing the hardscape for the best visual effect. - Springtails & Care Tips
Once your creation is complete, we’ll introduce you to springtails — tiny insects that help keep your terrarium clean and balanced. We’ll also cover essential care tips to keep your ecosystem thriving (and don’t worry — you’ll always have access to the full care guide).
Who is the class suitable for?
Anyone looking for a creative, grounding experience! Whether you love plants, want to reconnect with nature, or simply enjoy crafting with your hands — this workshop is for you. It’s also perfect for mindful moments, unique gifts, or team activities.
