DIY Terrarium Kit FAQs 🌿
Everything you need to know about our DIY terrarium kits, designed in London by a small UK team, delivered nationwide. Still stuck? Drop us a line at hello@weareleafage.com, a real human reads every email.
What's included in a DIY terrarium kit? Toggle answer
Everything you need to build a thriving little world in one box: your glass terrarium container, live miniature tropical plants, live moss, pebbles, activated charcoal, terrarium soil, decorative stones and grit, your terrarium tools, and a clear step-by-step guide to walk you through it.
Are the plants pet friendly? Toggle answer
Yes. Every plant in our terrarium kits is non-toxic to cats and dogs, checked against the ASPCA pet-safe list, so you can build and display yours with complete peace of mind.
The design helps too: the glass vessel is heavy and stable, and the closed lid keeps curious paws out.
Do I need any experience to build one? Toggle answer
Not at all. Our kits are designed for complete beginners, with no green thumb required. The illustrated guide takes you through each step, and the whole process is calming and forgiving.
It usually takes around 45 to 90 minutes, so it's a lovely way to slow down on your own or as a shared date night.
Which kit should I choose? Toggle answer
- Terrarium Starter Kit for One (£69): perfect for a solo unwind or a first terrarium.
- Date Night Home Terrarium Kit for Two (£99): two terrariums to build side by side.
- Globe Terrarium Starter Kit (£99): a striking round glass globe for a real centrepiece.
How do I look after my finished terrarium? Toggle answer
A sealed tropical terrarium is a self-nourishing little ecosystem, where the plants and soil release water vapour that collects on the glass and trickles back down, so it effectively recycles its own water and needs very little from you.
Keep it in bright, indirect light, away from direct sun and radiators. Only add a light mist of water if the soil ever looks dry. That's genuinely it.
How much is delivery, and where do you ship? Toggle answer
UK delivery is £7.50, and free on orders over £50. UK standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days, with express (1 to 3 days) also available. Because your plants are fragile and living, our shipping is designed to get them to you quickly and in great shape.
Please note that we currently only ship within the UK.
Can I send a kit as a gift? Toggle answer
Absolutely, terrarium kits make a wonderful, lasting gift. You can add a personalised gift message at checkout, and a Leafage gift box is available if you'd like it beautifully presented. Prefer to let them choose? We also offer gift vouchers.
Terrarium Weekend Workshop FAQs 🌿
Sociable, hands-on, beginner-friendly. Here's what to expect when you join us for a London weekend workshop.
What happens at a weekend workshop? Toggle answer
It's a relaxed, hosted session where you'll build your very own tropical terrarium from scratch. We provide all the plants, materials and tools, and one of our terrarium guides takes you through every step, so you can switch off, get your hands in the soil, and leave with a finished terrarium to take home.
Where are the workshops held and how long do they last? Toggle answer
Our weekend workshops are held in London and typically run for around 1.5 to 2 hours. Please note that we do not have our own permanent venue, so we host our workshops at carefully chosen partner venues across the city. The exact location and timings for your session are always confirmed in your booking confirmation email.
Do I need any experience, and what's included? Toggle answer
No experience needed, and it's beginner-friendly and fully guided. Your ticket includes all materials, live plants, tools, expert guidance, and the finished terrarium itself, which is yours to take home and enjoy.
Can I come on my own or book for a group? Toggle answer
Both are very welcome. Our workshops are sociable and easy-going, so they're just as lovely to enjoy solo as they are with a friend, partner or small group. It's a calm, friendly room, and you'll feel at home whether you come alone or with company.
Can I reschedule or cancel my place? Toggle answer
Workshop tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable, so if you can't make it, you're welcome to gift your place to a friend or family member. Just let us know in advance at hello@weareleafage.com so we can update the details.
Corporate Workshops & Events FAQs 🌿
Bringing teams together with nature-based, alcohol-free wellbeing. Here's what to know before you book.
What is a corporate terrarium workshop? Toggle answer
It's a hands-on, nature-based experience designed to bring teams together and support wellbeing. Guided from start to finish, everyone builds their own terrarium to keep, a calming, creative break from screens that doubles as a memorable team-building activity.
Where can you run our event? Toggle answer
We don't have our own venue, but we can host anywhere a venue is provided. Our most popular option is to come to you: we set up right in your office, so there's no travel and no hassle, just an easy, screen-free break for your team where they already are.
We can also host at a venue you've arranged, or run it virtually with individual kits posted out to each attendee and a live online session.
How much does it cost and what group sizes do you cater for? Toggle answer
Corporate workshops start from £60 per person (plus VAT), with the final cost depending on your terrarium choice, group size and format. Our minimum is 10 guests, and we offer bespoke packages for larger groups of 50 or more. We'll always put together a tailored quote for your event.
How far in advance should we book? Toggle answer
We'd recommend around 4 weeks' notice so we can source fresh plants and prepare everything for your event. If your date is sooner than that, do still get in touch, and we'll always do our best to help.
Can the workshop be tailored to our team? Toggle answer
Yes, we love to tailor sessions around your occasion, whether it's a team away day, a wellbeing initiative, a client event or a celebration. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll shape the experience to suit.
How do we book or get a quote? Toggle answer
