Stop worrying about "killing houseplants" and start building an ecosystem. In this 90-minute virtual workshop, you will engineer a fully enclosed, self-sustaining terrarium inside a custom Wardian-style jar. Part science lab and part mindfulness, this online class teaches you how to create a tiny world that recycles its own water and air, thriving for years with almost zero maintenance.
What You’ll Learn and Create
  • Build inside a custom, airtight jar designed to solve the "leaky lid" failure of most DIY kits.
  • Layer pebbles, burlap, and a precise soil blend of peat, sphagnum, and activated carbon to create a functional water and gas cycle.
  • Hear the history of tea smuggling and Victorian spies, and see how your jar mimics habitats on the ISS or Mars.
  • Arrange tropical plants and live moss into a meditative landscape, finished with pebble paths and magical USB fairy lights.
Why This Class?
  • Tested Longevity: While most DIY terrariums last months, Nur’s science-first approach is tested to keep your ecosystem alive for 2–3+ years.
  • The "Black Thumb" Cure: Since the system is sealed, it manages its own moisture—no more "forgetting to water."
  • Data-Rich Learning: Perfect for analytical minds (engineers, scientists, and designers) who appreciate the logic behind the beauty.

Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly!
What you'll need
  • A "Mixing Station": A small bowl of water (for hydrating your moss) and a paper towel for those "oops, I touched the dirt" moments.
  • A Beverage of Choice: Whether it's a cup of tea (very fitting for the history of this jar!) or a glass of wine, world-building is thirsty work.
  • A "God Complex": Just kidding—but do bring your imagination! You’re the creator of this tiny planet, so come ready to name it and decide who lives there.
  • A Clear Surface: Clear some space on a table. Things might get a little "earthy, " so choose a spot that doesn't mind a stray pebble or two.
Suitable for
This class is great for team building and can also be enjoyed on your own.

Recent reviews of Make a Wardian Terrarium

  • 3/5 from Denise McCarthy, attended Jan 2026: Class was easy, timely and instruction was very thorough. I signed up for an instructor led class but it was canceled. I took the option to do a video but was still charged the same amount. The class was already overpriced as it was. I do have a credit but not enough to cover another class and when I tried to pay tge additional cost myself it didn't work. So I assume tge credit is a tip. Also appears the photo would not upload.
