Terrarium Workshop

A single digital presentation slide describing the purpose of a terrarium-making workshop, and the standard definition of a terrarium. Grass, a sun, and easter eggs decorate the slide.

I led a few workshops on the science and building process of terrariums. Check out the slides I used if you want to learn, or make your own.

Why I did this

In the winter of 2023-2024, I was cold and stuck indoors. I found warmth through taking care of plants in my house, and started learning about terrariums: small, enclosed environments for plants and small animals to live. I made a few of my own and then decided to teach my friends about it too.

I led two workshops that winter, in which I taught everyone the science of how terrariums work (how do they survive in those tiny containers?), and then guided them through making their own. I sourced the materials from local nurseries and stores whenever possible, online stores if needed, and Amazon if absolutely necessary.

I love teaching, and I love my friends, so I had a blast. Hopefully my friends would say the same 🙃
