Learn How to Make a Terrarium Online and Have a Low Key Garden


By Kiana Pontrelli

Gardening can be a beautiful and fulfilling hobby, but it can also be daunting and a big investment when you’re just getting started. If you want to dip your toes into creating a garden or indoor houseplant oasis, start small with online terrarium classes. In these DIY workshops, you will learn how to create a miniature, low-maintenance, contained garden. So whether you want to try gardening without too much commitment or prefer easy-to-care-for greenery, terrariums will allow you to bring some nature to your life without a fuss. 

Just because you don’t have time for a full-blown vegetable garden or the space for a jungle of monsteras, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the benefits of plant life. Learn how to make a terrarium online and bring a breath of fresh air and a new shade of green to your home. These virtual workshops make it easy to get started!

Learn from the professionals

From landscaping to plant care, there are a few details that come with building your own terrarium. While terrariums are low-maintenance and often even self-sustaining, we all know a brown thumb or two out there who could use some expert guidance. For reassurance, take an online class where your instructor will prepare you with all the plant care tips you’ll need to care for your garden. They’ll also show how to landscape your terrarium for optimal growth and happy plants. In addition, there is so much to learn about plant life, you won’t want to miss this unique science class!

After this class, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to continue this activity as a new hobby. You might even learn tips you can apply to your houseplant or general gardening care.

Supplies delivered to you

While you could run to the local nursery and try to build a terrarium on your own, that can become a little risky for novice home gardeners. With these online terrarium classes, you’ll receive a DIY terrarium kit with everything you need. That’s right, even the plants! Not only will this save you time, but you also won’t have to do any extra research, worry about forgetting supplies, or end up stuck with an unnecessary amount of soil or gravel. 

Your knowledgeable terrarium instructor will send you the perfect amount of everything you need. All you have to do is attend class to learn how to put it all together. If you’re looking for easy crafts to do at home, you’ve come to the right place. With such an easy process, this class also makes for great virtual team-building activities or craft ideas for groups! After you register your group, you don’t need to stress about acquiring supplies or shipping materials. Sit back, relax, and let your instructor take the lead.

Get creative with your decor 

Sometimes we think of terrariums as just another plant in our house, but they go beyond just being a potted plant. There is creativity involved in creating a terrarium and you can customize your landscape to fit your personality, home decor, or season. 

Try a sand art terrarium class where you can create mesmerizing patterns with layered sand to use as the base of your terrarium. If the holiday season is rolling around, create a holiday-themed terrarium to use as a unique table centerpiece that will wow all of your guests. If you’re looking for something to add to your WFH office, make a zen garden terrarium to incorporate a calming presence into your space. In many classes, you can even get your kids involved to create miniature fairy gardens or beach landscapes that will light them up with wonder!

Not only can you get creative and decorate your terrarium, but you can also use your handmade terrariums as home decor! If you love the plant aesthetic, but can’t seem to keep your leafy plants alive, a terrarium might be a better option. There are many ways you can display your natural art: try creating a hanging terrarium garden, experiment with different containers, or incorporate some funky moss wall art into a statement wall!

Low-effort craft ideas with big benefits

We already told you how easy it is to sign up and get your plants delivered, but this craft is also easy to make. You don’t need an eye for design, artistic ability, or a green thumb to learn how to make a show-stopping terrarium. First off, you’ll have a terrarium expert walk you through the process step-by-step in your online terrarium workshop. Then you’ll work in layers, adding soil, rocks, plants, and decor. Soon enough, you’ll be admiring your gorgeous garden! If you need a crowd pleaser, this easy craft is perfect for virtual team-building activities, birthday party ideas, and more.

This DIY project also comes with great benefits to your mental well-being. The act of working with something hands-on will help you reconnect with yourself and maybe even put you out of your comfort zone, but in a good way! You’ll also learn something new, which is a wonderful way to exercise your mind and get your creative gears turning. Lastly, with a terrarium, you’ll bring plant life into your home or space, which has great mental well-being benefits in itself! 

Easy gift ideas for anyone

If you’re constantly trying to come up with thoughtful gift ideas for friends and family, why not consider a DIY terrarium? Whether you treat them to an online class where they can get creative with plants on their own, or you create a gorgeous customized terrarium to gift to them, this gift will be unforgettable! 

Don’t worry, gifting a terrarium isn’t comparable to sticking someone with a pet they didn’t want. Terrariums are easy to care for and serve as more of a stunning natural decoration rather than a needy annoyance. You can also celebrate with a terrarium on any occasion. Plants are a great sign of new beginnings, growth, and a fresh start, so whether you want to celebrate an anniversary, graduation, or even a new job, terrariums make terrific gift ideas for anyone!
