Terrarium workshop at the start of Sydney spring

September is when Sydney gardens start moving again after winter. It's also one of the better months to build a terrarium, as improving light conditions through the warmer months ahead will suit the plants you take home.

The plants used in NGM terrarium workshops are chosen for how they behave in enclosed glass conditions, not just how they look. The NGM team at King Street selects species that handle the higher humidity and indirect light of a closed or semi-open terrarium. You'll learn which plants work, which ones don't, and why, as part of the session.

What's included in your terrarium workshop ticket

Each ticket covers everything you need on the day. You'll work with a glass terrarium vessel, four plants chosen for terrarium conditions, potting mix, stones, and decorative finishing elements. No tools, no materials, nothing to bring except yourself. The NGM team guides you through the build from start to finish, and you take the completed terrarium home at the end of the session. Sessions run for approximately 90 minutes. All skill levels welcome, including complete beginners.

Before you arrive

What plants are used in the workshop?

The NGM team selects plants suited to terrarium conditions, specifically species that handle the humidity and indirect light of a glass enclosure. The exact selection varies by session based on what's available and in good condition.

How do I care for my terrarium after the workshop?

The NGM team covers basic terrarium care as part of the session. As a general guide, most terrariums need indirect light and minimal watering. The team is available in-store for follow-up questions.

Can I transfer my ticket to another date?

Tickets can be transferred to a future session with at least 48 hours notice. Contact the NGM team directly to arrange a transfer.
