Very knowledgable tutor, fun class, highly recommend. We went for a hen party activity, even people with no knowledge got really into the masterclass

A hands on, fun and informative afternoon activity with friends. Got to walk away with my very own masterpiece (if I do say so myself) of a terrarium. Could see myself coming back as a date activity or with family.

Ben and Daz of The Botanical Boys began their journey in 2009 when they took over a terraced garden in London Fields with a Japanese & formal English segments. Having no gardening experience prior, they really got stuck in and become members of the National Garden Scheme and opened up the space to the public for charity every year. They were selected for a spot on the BBC Great British Garden Revival program in May 2015 and were featured in a number of books and publications.

After a few assignments and holiday trips to South Africa and California it was succulents…

Abigail Tonkinson - 8 April 2024
A fantastic and fun afternoon learning to build a terrarium! Darren was a fantastic teacher. Highly recommend!
undefined - 8 April 2024
The masterclass was so good, ginger Michael was excellent at engaging the group and explaining each step. I loved that you got a chance to get little figurines I think these definitely added a personal touch to the terrarium. The materials are of high quality and I liked that we were reassured of this during the class with the facts and awards! I've knocked off a star just because I found that it was a bit cramped I was practically leaning on the person behind me, there wasn't much space - a different table layout would help this or not having quite so many people in the class. Would highly recommend as a gift or just something to do on a Sunday afternoon :)
Matthew - 7 April 2024
Great experience and very engaging instructor, Michael. Great to take away the terrarium at the end!
undefined - 1 April 2024
A nice workshop, with good backround music and entertaining commentary. However it felt quitw a bit rushed: the time allocated for the terrarium is a too short to do it in comfort. Still doable, but it was unanimous for our group of four that one more hour would be much better. Alternatively, some help ahead of time would be benificial, so we could plan better. The instructor was friendly and accommodating, however I expected them to be mode decisive when asked to help with design (and it would definitely save time). There was clearly lack of convenient tools such as a plastic hose with a funnel, terrarium scissors, and a telescopic spoon/shovel. After comparing with another workshop where we've built a pair of terrariums, I'd say Botanical Boys has a massive room for improvement w/o too much effort.
Maureen Bush - 19 March 2024
Really great 2 hours. Fun but also taught me a lot. Terrarium in pride of place.
Sarah Taylor - 18 March 2024
Loved it!! Very informative and interesting course, friendly and fun, would highly recommend 😊
Celia Wong - 10 March 2024
I enjoy the class a lot. The quiz interaction was fun.
Rupert Henderson - 10 March 2024
Had a wonderful time, thank you!
Karin Russell - 10 March 2024
A most enjoyable experience. I am very likely yo do it again - very mich in love with our terrarium.
R L - 6 March 2024
The Botanical Boys workshop was really good, slightly disappointed it was in the Samsung building, I would have preferred a more green and lush natural environment, rather than surrounded by gizmos and gadgets. That said, it was really insightful and fun and we learned a lot. The experience was really fast paced, which is fun for some but I struggled sometimes to slow down and really enjoy what I was doing, as I wanted to take time to plan out where I would put each plant. Slight shame that there were also only two types of plants available to put in the terrarium as well. If I had known, I would have brought and extra cactus or something. I would definitely recommend it, but upon reflection the price is steep for what is basically two small plants in a glass jar (even if there is soil, charcoal etc included).
Jenny - 4 March 2024
Great afternoon workshop, my neice and I had wonderful time and made spectacular terrainiums. Ginger Micheal was super teacher, two hours flew by with lots information, help, fun quizzes and I even won a prize! Absolutely recommend to singles, couples and groups.
Freya Morgan - 4 March 2024
Fantastic terrarium workshop - my partner & I really enjoyed learning about the history & getting stuck in with building our own terrariums. They have plenty of plants to choose from & the option to purchase figurines to jazz it up - lots of room for creative freedom. Would recommend to anyone who loves plants & wants to try out a different experience.
Matt Gorman - 26 February 2024
Great class. Well paced and interesting throughout but at no point rushed. Michael was super helpful and kept the whole thing very relaxed but super informative. I did it with my mum as a gift and we had a great time.
Maria Ntalla - 26 February 2024
The terrarium workshop was lots of fun! We learnt a lot and ended up with a beautiful terrarium to take home. My only feedback would be to pace it more evenly; it was a little slow at the start and a bit rushed towards the end. Highly recommend!
felicity connor - 26 February 2024
Such a fun and informative experience. Would highly recommend doing with with friends, partners, or family.
Jane Kosmin - 26 February 2024
Such great fun. I booked this as a surprise for my husband who loves all things plants and it ticked all the boxes. We love our terrariums and will give gem pride of place in our kitchen
Aaks - 25 February 2024
Great workshop, engaging instructor that made it really easy and fun at the same time. Highly recommend it!
Kasia Demczenko - 19 February 2024
It was a great event, I really enjoyed it. The only thing I would improve is the acoustics. We were seated at the end of the table and could barely hear the speaker, so it was hard to follow the jokes and steps on making the terrarium. But overall super great event!
Dorothy Struthers - 18 February 2024
It was great fun and enjoyed the history. Would have liked more about the plants, different types to use and what I could expect in terms of growth and general care.
Ziad AlToura - 18 February 2024
An excellent afternoon, educational, funny, but most of all therapeutic 😍
Adam Morris - 12 February 2024
I really enjoyed the class! Our guide for the afternoon was great, he was knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions and I left with an amazing terrarium that is on proud display in my living room! Thoroughly recommended.
Aaron - 11 February 2024
The workshop was great! Ginger Michael was a fantastic host, who provided some really interesting history about terrariums and was super helpful whenever we needed it. Would highly recommend the terrarium workshop to anyone.

Catherine Shepherd-Wells - 16 January 2024
Had a really great time. Really funny and informative as well as coming home with a wonderful terrarium
james cornforth - 16 January 2024
Thank you so much to Botanical Boys for the terrarium master class on Sunday, and especially to “Ginger Michael” who ran it. I can’t recommend this enough, it was given to me as a birthday gift, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Making your own terrarium was cool enough but Michael made it such a fun and informative experience. Get yourself booked on and get along to one this year.
Sofia Iglesias - 15 January 2024
We had a great time during the experience, I loved the learning the history of the terrarium at the begging of the session and making the actual terrarium was great.
Guillermo Aguiar-Esteban - 7 January 2024
Excellent class. The quality of resources and terrarium were fantastic. The host was funny and linked in lots of interaction between participants as well as educating us all about the history of terrariums as well as plant care. Overall, an incredible experience.
Katie McDonnell - 7 January 2024
We had such a great time at the terrarium workshop! Really fun activity with great storytelling in a gorgeous venue. Would highly recommend as an afternoon activity!

Alys Irvine - 26 November 2023
Wonderful, informative and great fun. Our tutor Louis was fantastic and so helpful. The rest of the group were great; different ages and interests but all lovely. We would love to return and do another workshop, it was so different and unusual!
Sybil Seungdamrong - 25 November 2023
We really enjoyed the master class!
Kyle Purkiss - 25 November 2023
The class was very good and we love our terrarium, only thing was if they moved around the class and presented the steps at different places would allow everyone to be involved a bit more.
Natalie Watts - 20 November 2023
Can’t recommend more!
Harriet - 20 November 2023
Very enjoyable workshop and I am delighted with the final product

Great workshop with all the materials needed to create a beautiful terrarium. Michael, the host, was brilliant and engaging. Made the class fun and interested with bits of history, great storytelling and pop quizzes.
Richa Tripathi - 5 November 2023
Really nice activity to share with friends. I gifted this workshop to my girlfriend and we shared a vessel with some vine at the spot :) We had a great day!
Sophie - 5 November 2023
It was such a fun workshop!
Bruna Coimbra - 31 October 2023
This was one of the best workshops I've done. I booked this for my boyfriends birthday and he absolutely loved it. 'Ginger' Michael gave such an amazing history on terrariums and its origin, and the class was very entertaining. The size of the jar was way bigger than I thought! And my terrarium looks amazing in the living room :)
Jodie Collin - 29 October 2023
An enjoyable and immersive workshop, highly recommend
Giuseppina Sanna - 29 October 2023
It was a very informative and fun workshop without mentioning that we took away a wonderful piece which is seating now in our kitchen! I only hope we can keep it alive. Thank you for the fun you provided
Calum - 29 October 2023
Great workshop, really enjoyed. Great date idea. Very informative.
Elizabeth - 23 October 2023

Such a lovely couple of hours making a gorgeous terrarium and learning about them.
Hannah Bienge - 16 October 2023
I had a great time on the terrarium workshop. The host Michael was great. He was really funny and well informed. We made beautiful creations (if I don’t say so myself! 😂) and I even managed to get it home in one piece. I’d definitely do it again!
Julie Burns - 16 October 2023
I bought this experience day for my friends birthday . We had a wonderful day learning about terrariums , their history , how to look after them etc . Very relaxing , enjoying and therapeutic . The only small thing was that we couldn’t hear the ‘ teacher ‘ terribly well as we were furthest away from him . All in all ,loved it and would recommend it to anyone and best of all we had a lovely plant display to take home .
Cesar Perez - 16 October 2023
I booked a terrarium masterclass at the Samsung shop in Kings Cross for my husband's birthday, and it turned out to be one of the best gifts for both him and a memorable father-son activity. My 7-year-old son joined the experience for a small fee, and together, we created a stunning sphere terrarium that now proudly placed in our living room as a centrepiece. My husband is notoriously difficult to surprise, but this masterclass truly exceeded our expectations. It was an unforgettable, creative, and bonding experience, thank you Botanical Boys!
Valeria Pensabene - 8 October 2023
We loved it. Such good fun and some great skills learnt. Would definitely do it again.
Catherine Rose - 4 October 2023
Great fun informative session- make sure you bring a bag to take it home with you though!
Ashlyn Asenso - 3 October 2023
Very insightful. We became one with nature and felt zen. It was a great experience I went as a birthday gift to my best friend and we made a terrarium together. The quiz was fun and understanding the background of terrariums was amazing too. We had fun.
Christopher Hodgkinson - 27 September 2023
Such a great afternoon activity for two! beautiful end product that sits in your home made by YOU. REally interesting to learn how it is made, the steps and done in a really cool workspace. Recommend ++
Ali Allam - 24 September 2023
I attended this masterclass with my friend as a birthday present. It was amazing start to finish. The teacher was amazing , musical and hilarious and the class was informative but relaxing. Definitely recommend :) 5 stars
Wincy Shum - 24 September 2023

Vera Mytilinou - 24 September 2023
We loved making a terrarium for our wedding anniversary.
Chiara Brayda Bruno - 18 September 2023

Madeleine Bloomfield - 18 September 2023

Alex Christodoulou - 16 September 2023
Amazing experience and it was very exciting
Robin Hines - 5 September 2023
Excellent workshop experience and terrarium to take away. fully met expectations.
Manraj Othi - 3 September 2023
Amazing event! Very engaging, great location and the terrariums were gorgeous!
Iris - 30 August 2023
I bought the Eden dome for my boyfriend as a birthday present and to accompany I went for a standard one. We had a great time and loved the terrariums. They were a good size and we had loads of fun putting them together. Michael was really great throughout the workshop, telling us the history of the terrariums in a very fun way. We left with loads of interesting facts and information about the why of every material/plant we used in our terrariums and instructions about how to look after them once at home. We really enjoyed it and would 100% recommend it.
Maria Gomes - 29 August 2023
My mum and I had such a great time! Ginger Michael is so much fun and we left super happy with our beautiful terrarium! Looking forward to doing another workshop soon :)
Anna Maria Manti - 28 August 2023
Wonderful experience! Definitely worth the price! Michael is very knowledgeable and a great host! We love our terrarium!
Karla Rivas - 27 August 2023
Louis and company were very professional all the time, easy to approach and sharing interesting facts about terrariums. It was a lovely workshop.
Becky Gatt - 21 August 2023
Brilliant day! Our teacher Mike was really engaging, fun and full of knowledge. The terrariums looked great and he gave us the history of terrariums and information about the different materials and plants we were putting inside. Location was great, Everything neatly set up for us and well organised. Thank you - it was a great day :-)
Joan Horsley - 20 August 2023
My daughter and I attended the Terrarium Masterclass, we had a super time and we are thrilled with our terrariums. Darren was an excellent teacher and we also learned a lot of interesting history. Both the workshop venue and Coals Drop Yard were great locations too.
Andrew Wheeler - 20 August 2023
Found the terrarium masterclass informative and practical with a great end product to take home.
Emma Tuffill - 14 August 2023
We loved the workshop and came away with two beautiful terrariums. We were only expecting the workshop to last for 2 hours, but it was at least 45 minutes longer, possibly due to the upselling of wine and Prosecco at the start. We did not want any of this, so for us we were sat waiting for at least 30 minutes to get started. We enjoyed the information that was presented throughout and the singing at the end!
Oliver Hudd - 7 August 2023
The session was absolutely amazing! Learned loads of interesting facts about the history of terrariums during the session. Had lots of fun creating my beautiful terrarium with all the tips they gave us. I can now confidently have a go of making one on my own. I definitely recommend going worth the price 10/10.
Midori Stoyle - 6 August 2023
I was given this class as a birthday gift. It was a really fun class - we learned the history of terrariums and then we were given all the instructions and materials to make our own. The class was full, but there were enough plants for everyone. The venue was bright and airy and easy to find.
Philip Hartland - 31 July 2023
I had a great time at the Botanical Boys terrarium workshop, not only did I learn how to make a successful terrarium but learnt a bit of Botanical history as well, Ginger Michael was a great host and tutor and good all round chap. If you're thinking of doing a workshop don't hesitate just do it, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Michael for a very enjoyable afternoon.
Leonardo Taccetti - 31 July 2023
Great Workshop ! Highly recommended if interested in Terrariums and how to make them. The experience was funny and it flows quite smoothly. Thanks GingerMichael!!
Georgia Tinson - 30 July 2023
Such a fantastic experience, and the host - Darren, was super informative and engaging! Definitely recommend :)
Lisa Blair - 24 July 2023
I was so looking forward to this masterclass but I was disappointed. The workshop leader treated the session as if it was his personal performance space and it was misguided throughout. Prosecco or a soft drink is included in the Masterclass- odd to me that the workshop leader is drinking whilst he’s leading it? There was so much talk and showboating that there was no opportunity to talk with friends/family and have a lovely experience learning and building the terrariums. Alongside a rambling, clunky history of the terrarium (that took far too long), there were a random amount of music changes that he did on his phone to accompany his chat. There were many random sexual innuendos (the worst one being: advising us all that we should leave the lids off the terrariums for 2 days once we got them home - and then swiftly picking on two participants, a mother and daughter, and said if they didn’t do this it would result in the terrariums smelling and their friends and family saying “X and X have two very smelly holes.”) This example is one of quite a few. It was unprofessional and it didn’t feel like I was there to learn about terrariums, it felt like I was there to watch a show all about the leader. So odd and absolutely not reading the room. On a side note, we paid for the Eden Domes (which include some extra decorative stones and two extra plant choices.) There weren’t enough decorative stones for our party to each have one - and- we were told there was a problem with their supplier so the extra plants that fitted into the taller jars, wouldn’t fit into ours so we couldn’t use them. Deeply disappointing, especially considering that it was an upgrade option. There was no mention of these issues prior to the workshop/online and was suddenly talked about in the last 20 minutes or so of the workshop. Whilst we were creating them. We were taken to the shop afterwards and advised that we could get another stone from there and one plant of our choice that still won’t fit in the dome (and we could have just been given one at the workshop). I left having created a nice terrarium but it could have been so much nicer if we weren’t rushed from stage-to-stage of building it and instead of the mindless chat, we received a great amount of input along the way in a less sarcastic atmosphere.
Emily Puddifer - 24 July 2023
It was brilliant - two hours of fun, a great activity, Michael was a fabulous and fun instructor, everyone had a great time and learnt a lot. Highly recommend!!
Saxh Paisley - 23 July 2023
Loved the class. Warm, friendly environment. History about terrariums unexpected but very interesting. Terrarium now in situ at home and looks like it belongs there. Would 100% recommend. We had a great day and will be back!
Hayley Sosnovik - 22 July 2023
Such a fun and enjoyable way to spend the morning. We really had a great time and I love my terrarium. Thank you so much! Highly recommended ❤️
Angela Bird - 11 July 2023
This was a birthday present, so I had no idea what to expect. Great fun to do. I thought I would be hopeless, but am super pleased with the result!
Lidia Lakhu - 3 July 2023
I got back home on Saturday with a beautiful terrarium i had made in the masterclass. The setting for the class was the beautiful Botanical Shop. The teacher (Darren -if i recall correctly) was lovely, knowledgeable and very helpful), the class was busy (15 people) but there was enough space and materials for everyone to enjoy the afternoon....we were also treated to a lovely glass of bubbly....what else can you ask? I would definitely recommend!
Evangeline Harvey - 2 July 2023
The terrarium making class was excellent! All equipment needed was provided and the instructors were very kind and helpful! We had Louis for his first instructional session and he was great! We would and have recommended the class to others! Will definitely be back for the succulent class.
Hannah - 26 June 2023
The host was lovely; very friendly and personable. He explained things clearly but gave people the space to get on with their pottering. The group size was great and a friendly bunch. Beautiful item to take home. The only downside is getting it home the way it left the class was hard and things has definitely moved around so there was a bit of tlc to be done at home!
Lucy Meredith - 26 June 2023
My daughter bought me the terrarium workshop as a Mother's Day present. We had to reschedule twice: once owing to illness and then because of a train strike. It was well worth the wait. Learning about the history of terraria was fascinating, the quiz was fun and I am thrilled with my terrarium. The glass of prosecco and the plastic dinosaur were just the icing on the cake! I would heartily recommend the experience.
Stephen Mitchell - 25 June 2023
Great course covering all you need to know about planting a terrarium with hands on advice and support during the class.
Yuxin Lin - 18 June 2023
Well organised and super fun! Highly recommended
Sian Ayres - 12 June 2023
This was a great day. I treated my friend for a birthday. We both had a great time and laugh. Will definitely be doing the new workshops when they start. Thanks guys.
Sangeeta - 11 June 2023
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the class, it was informative as well as practical. Thank you
Marianne Goode - 11 June 2023
Really great class. Friendly engaging host and clear instructions given to the group. Our host was funny and approachable, with a cheeky side to himself. My only request is that when discribing how to find the venue in your emails is to state clearly that the workshop is in the Samsung store and not just above the plant shop. Thanks
Alica Thorpe - 5 June 2023
I had a lot of fun, a very good experience. Thanx
Neil Wilson - 5 June 2023
Really fun afternoon. Professional and funny host. Would recommend to friends and colleagues.
Sarika Jain - 21 May 2023
Amazing experience! Terrarium still alive :)
Feline Bol - 20 May 2023
Booked this workshop as a birthday present for my partner, it was fabulous! Michael is very knowledgeable about terrariums, the history and combines this with interactive, fun moments plus music. Highly recommend!!
Edward Biondini - 14 May 2023
Really informative, social and fun class! Darren really knows his stuff and creates a really good atmosphere!
Sam Defoe - 14 May 2023
One of the most wholesome and inclusive experiences to take part in. The Botanical Boys are doing great things with these classes, the content included and the atmosphere of take part in them . I would urge anyone regardless of how green fingered you are to book one, they do not disappoint, and offer great value too. Thank you for an amazing experience.
Naren Chetty - 8 May 2023

Nicholas Heriot Hill - 25 April 2023
What a fantastic experience !!
Emma - 24 April 2023
I really enjoyed the person leading the class and he made us feel comfortable. However, I was quite disappointed with the class. I thought I was getting to make a nice terrarium, instead we had a history lesson for the first 30/40minutes of the class. When we finally got to make the terrarium, I had a good time finding out about the layers needed and getting my hands dirty. When it was time to put the plants in, we somehow only had five minutes to do it. This is supposed to be the most exciting and creative moment of the whole class and we had five minutes. I had to rush my terrarium and shove a few plants in (may I say the most basic and cheapest plants you can find, a bit cheeky for a 70 pounds class) and we were pressured to finish quickly, and for what? To make a social media video for their instagram page. I'm sorry this is harsh but I was not happy and ended up purchasing some extra plants and redoing my terrarium myself. I think whoever organises these classes need to rethink about what their clients are paying for.
Christine Peak - 23 April 2023
A most enjoyable afternoon. Thank you.

My boyfriend and I had the perfect date at the Botanical Boys workshop, where we made a terrarium together! “Ginger” Michael who led the session was passionate and hilarious & we learnt so much. It was great fun and we 100% recommend doing it!
Alison Brodie - 23 April 2023
Fun afternoon learning about and making a terrarium. Michael was knowledgable and helpful. Am pretty happy with my efforts - it would be better next time!
Sara - 17 April 2023
I had a lovely time learning about the history of terrariums and how to make my own! The host was terrific and funny. And gave me handy advice and also checked my terrarium was all set before I left.
Saima Rajasingam - 11 April 2023
Ginger Michael is a G……. Is amazing
Tina Rowell - 11 April 2023
Great class, longer than expected (2.5 hours) with some included surprise prosecco. The workshop guide Michael was hilarious and kept us all in a great mood. No negative comments to give!
Luke Blomfield - 10 April 2023
Really great class. Lots of fun and I got a cool Terrarium afterwards. Ginger Michelle was an excellent host.
Jane Middleton - 10 April 2023
It was a good class- learned a lot about the history of terrariums and their contributions to modern gardening and am pleased with what I made. I did find the upselling of more exotic plants for £5 each a little naff, it seemed to me it would have been easier to have offered them in the price and priced accordingly. I was given this course as a gift, and if I was giving it myself, I would want to feel everything was included - which it was- but the upsells made it seem like you had been given an incomplete gift - for that reason I would not buy it for someone else
Yulia Anikushina - 10 April 2023
My friends gave me a Terrarium Masterclass as a birthday gift. Michael was our host that day and he made it a really great experience! Not only building your own Terrarium is included, but also the history of terrariums, tips on how to take care of it, fun quizzes and games, and bottomless prosecco. After the workshop, I feel more confident with house plants in general. I definitely recommend the Botanical Boys workshop and I might attend it again in the future. Thank you!
Josh - 8 April 2023
An afternoon well-spent. Solid and accessible introduction to building and maintaining a terrarium, with a welcoming atmosphere!

Ka Chun Liu - 19 February 2023

Sian Ingram - 16 February 2023
We had such a great time building a couple’s terrarium with Botanical Boys! A great afternoon and an awesome terrarium to take home at the end of it

Great class, super organized . Everything was done in a timely manner, learned some history and left with a complete finished product that I made myself. Highly recommend.
Kelsea McReady - 29 January 2023
Attending a Botanical Boys Terrarium Masterclass made for a fun Saturday afternoon. Ben and Daz were friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. As someone who is more of a beginner when it comes to plants and plant care, I also found that the class was paced well and informative. Overall, I would definitely attend another class.
Melvin - 23 January 2023
Really great experience, so much fun and wonderful thing to do as a couple. Plus learnt a ton of things and drank processco all at the same time. Would definitely do another class again.
Barbara - 23 January 2023
Disappointed with the fact that we were only provided with one variety of plant for the terranium and frequently told how expensive and how short they were of certain items like moss etc. Reasons provided didn’t seem plausible and I found that the person delivering the course a little patronising at times. Price too high given the limitation on plants and terranium ingredients. etc. Such a shame as has the potential of being a very enjoyable class.
Tara Legge - 22 January 2023
What a fantastic afternoon. I had booked a place for my 11yr old son and the botanical boys were extremely accommodating to allow me to sit at the workshop table. We loved hearing about the history of terrariums, the competitive quiz and poo curling game at the end. A real win and despite tipping our terrarium over when leaving - the team were really kind helping us piece it back together! Thank you for a very enjoyable treat and a lovely setting! I highly recommend! Tara
Jade Mountain - 22 January 2023
Absolutely brilliant afternoon - great venue and Darren and Louis were fantastic. I learned loads AND left with something that is beautiful and totally made by me. Perfect afternoon out - for couples or friends.
Robert Chu - 18 January 2023
Ginger Michael was a fantastic host and helped everyone in the class make an awesome terrarium. I had a great time sipping prosecco while building my terrarium and received helpful tips and help along the way.
Peter Croucher - 16 January 2023
We had the best time last Sunday making our terrarium! Michael was super friendly and knowledgeable, made the workshop entertaining, and kept us busy with quizzes and games in between getting our fingers green. Would recommend as a gift or date idea 100%.
Kyler - 15 January 2023
It was a very easy-to-follow, interactive session that gave us the basics as well as some more advanced knowledge, made all the better with Michael leading the way. Would highly recommend!
Claudia Tobias - 15 January 2023
The terrarium masterclass was really fun and informative. Really happy with the end product, too!
Ben Miller - 15 January 2023
Michael was brilliant, funny and engaging and informative. Interesting to know the history, good to get involved in making your own Terrariums with a glass of Prosecco to help.
Lilly - 9 January 2023
My partner and I had a great time at this masterclass! Ginger Michael was very informative and personable, we learned a bunch and feel confident our terrarium will last a lifetime. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys getting their hands a bit dirty xx
Sophie Butler - 8 January 2023
Great activity, easy to follow instructions and our terrarium came out great. Hosts were friendly & engaging, would definitely recommend.
Suzanne - 8 January 2023
Enjoyable afternoon spent making our terrariums. Interesting to learn the history of them too. Hoping ours last more than the 2 weeks I normally manage to keep plants alive!
Ewan Rayment - 8 January 2023
A highly enjoyable class only let down by unnecessary 'entertaining' which detracted from the potential peaceful experience and essence of what was being created. Did not enjoy being co-opted into a dance at the end purely for their own promotional social media videos without any consent.
Shannon Sandilands - 8 January 2023
Was a really great experience. We had lots if fun making the Terrarium and learnt a bit about the history. Thank you
Simon Maddrell - 31 December 2022
Fantastic Experience! We really enjoyed our class. Fascinating history and very knowledgeable tutors. Will be back to build one of the other terrarium options next time.
Sara - 24 December 2022
This was such a great experience! It was informative and fun and at the end you get to take away your new creation. Mine was made as a gift so I've been checking it every day to make sure all looks good at the point I had it over. So far so good! Highly recommended.
Rachel Lawrence - 12 December 2022
Great class, lots of fun and provides lots on interesting info around terrariums history, botanical boys and terrarium care. Would highly recommend
Brianna Hendry - 11 December 2022
Had a great class learning how to make a terrarium. Time flew by so quick as it was so fun, and really interesting learning some history facts as well. I managed to nab an asparagus fern to add as an extra but would have been great to have enough available for all as it really made it look amazing! Definitely recommend whether solo or with friends or family, everyone was made to feel so welcome.
Amy Cussons - 10 December 2022
Really fun and informative!
Ciara Hanlon - 28 November 2022
Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Michael who led the class was really lovely, funny and made the whole thing really easy to follow. My terrarium now has pride of place in my lounge. Highly recommend.
Michelle Man - 27 November 2022
I had a great time at the masterclass, I love my terrarium and would 100% recommend to anyone! I went by myself but everyone was so super lovely and lots of individual people there. Michael, the teacher was brilliant, friendly, informative and entertaining. My class was held at the Samsung centre and it was a lovely space.
Tim Gardner - 27 November 2022
Truly excellent afternoon. Michael was a highly likeable and entertaining host who made everything flow really well. Great mix of terrarium background and history - enough to be interesting, not too much to mutter “Get on with it” ;-) Prosecco worked well, as always, and credit for having non-alcoholic option to hand. Enjoyed the light-touch informality & overseeing of proceedings. Left with beautiful terrarium & wondering who I could buy the experience for as a Xmas present. Would I change anything? No, I really don’t think so. Great job!
Lauren Everest - 27 November 2022
The class was so much fun! The instructor obviously knew his stuff and was very helpful if you needed anything. The Prosecco was a great touch. Would 100% recommend!
Craig Shardlow - 21 November 2022
Loved the terrarium making class. Really informative on the history of terrariums. Plus was great to know the reasoning behind each layer on the jar and what each purpose is
Sunita Jordan - 19 November 2022
We had a great time creating a terrarium which is growing beautifully!
Vero - 15 November 2022
It was great!
Sarah Rajabalee - 14 November 2022
I really enjoyed the masterclass and would recommend it to anyone. I would say that I would have liked to have been in a smaller class and be able to interact with the other participants more. It was also hard to see the presentation (which was really interesting) because I was too near the front.
Hannah - 13 November 2022
Really good workshop with some interesting info and then plenty of time to make the terrarium with lots of help to get it right. Fun creating your own design and looked really great at the end! Nice bubbly offered alongside too!! Would definitely recommend.
Maggie - 13 November 2022
Great experience! Definitely recommend to anyone looking to do something different in London with your friends. Loved it!
Joseph - 13 November 2022
A very well put together experience of building your own Terrarium. You will guarenteed to learn a lot about building your own eco-system and having fun at the same time. Instructor is very engaging, interactive, knowledgeful and fun. 100% recommend people to try it out.
Ann - 13 November 2022
Great learning experience, and overall a great experience! Everything is provided, step by step instructions at an appropriate speed. Darren is a wonderful teacher. Even though we were a bigger group it still felt personal and any questions were answered quickly. Highly recommended.

So much fun! Beautiful location, a lovely instructor and bought home a beautiful terrarium.
Cat - 7 November 2022
We both really enjoyed our day and Michael was a funny and thorough teacher!
Piotr Majda - 31 October 2022
It's a nice date idea with something you can actually take back home, maybe it's a bit pricy but you can sip prosecco during the workshop!
Charlie - 31 October 2022
Really fun and relaxed class. Enjoyed the way it was structured and how helpful our host was.

Rachel Joiner - 24 October 2022
Bought as a gift for my brother and we had a brilliant day! Worth every penny and our host was fantastic; knowledgeable and funny!
Evelyn Foy - 24 October 2022
A really lovely event! Took my boyfriend for his birthday and he was so happy! As someone who doesn’t really know much about plants everything was explained so well that I understood what was going on and we created a really beautiful terrarium alongside learning the history of everything definitely would recommend!
Megan Pollock - 24 October 2022
Such an amazing afternoon! Took my parents for a birthday treat and they also had the best time! The session was really fun but also super informative and we walked away with really amazing terrariums armed with full confidence that we can keep them going. Can’t recommend this more!
Louise Tonge - 23 October 2022
Really enjoyable class. Time went really quickly and I am very pleased with the finished product. Thank you

Entertaining session with explanation of history and science behind the terrarium. Plus a lovely living indoor garden to take home.

Loved this afternoon as it contained 2 of my favourite things, playing with plants and drinking bubbles with friends. I love how my terrarium turned out. It was fun getting creative with like-minded friendly people
James Drummond - 2 October 2022
Amazing experience with a very welcoming friendly atmosphere. A great range of various plants which look brilliant in my terrarium.
Massi Ghislandi - 26 September 2022
Great workshop...insightful...relaxing... And you get to take away a finished Terrarium made by you!

Learnt a lot today. Some history, terrarium gardening tips and aftercare. Well presented in pleasant surroundings and very happy with my final result. It was a lovely birthday treat. Highly recommended

Brilliant few hours in the company of Michael who was hugely entertaining as well as informative about how to take care of our terrariums. Highly recommend this masterclass for creativity and fun.

It was amazing! The instructor was extremely nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in making terrariums!
Angela Daymond - 11 August 2022
A wonderful workshop packed with information including the history of terrariums and hands on making our own terrarium. Darren was so helpful and full of knowledge. This was fully accessible for me and there was nothing I couldn’t reach. I would definitely recommend a Botanical Boys workshop and will be keeping an eye out for more that I can do.
Gabriel Goh - 31 July 2022
Did the terrarium masterclass on Saturday, 30 July and can honestly say it was such an enjoyable and engaging class - would recommend!
Sandy Downs - 29 July 2022
Our terrarium masterclass was excellent - we had great fun with the host, and the size of the class was perfect. It was a great balance of teaching, games, and being left to build your own design! Definitely an excellent present or treat day out :)
Payal Chaddha - 25 July 2022
Really enjoyed the experience, had so much fun and learnt so much. The terrarium is now thriving at home!
Neherun Nessa Ali - 23 July 2022
Very accommodating and knowledgeable class. However would say beverages provided should be attentive to people who also do not drink alcohol. Keeping in mind London is a cosmopolitan city with diffrent faiths and individual choices. Materials provided for the volume of containers for the group should be also shared equally. The overall experience was great.
Nicola - 20 July 2022
Fantastic class! Was great fun and I now have a beautiful terrarium. Darren was a fantastic host and tutor - very knowledgable, friendly and funny. He was super helpful answering any questions. Would really recommend this class! The bubbles were a lovely touch as well. I loved how he guided it as a mindful experience as well - really nice relaxing way to enjoy Saturday afternoon!
Jane McGinn - 18 July 2022
What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! It was boiling hot, but our fabulous host Michael plied us with water (& Prosecco!) throughout the session. Michael was the perfect host – genial, amusing and informed. We learnt about the history of terrariums, which included the opium wars and espionage. The BBs provide all the materials you need to make your own terrarium but it’s up to you how you want the finished product to look. The others who participated were lovely and and we had all bonded by the end of our session. If you’re thinking about doing this course just get on with it and book it you won’t be disappointed! Thanks Michael!
Esme Owen - 18 July 2022
A great terrarium making workshop that I would 100% recommended, my partner and I did it for her birthday surprise and she loved it! There was a great atmosphere and I brought home a beautiful terrarium! Thank you!
Anna Glibbery - 17 July 2022
Amazing workshop! I loved the history about Terrariums and the super fun quiz that brought out our competitive side. Supper fun and friendly facilitator and great location! We will keep them in mind for future workshops!
Moria Barak - 11 July 2022
Perfect all around! Did this with my teenager, fun facts, lots of games, right amount of fizz (grownups only) and a beautiful terrarium to take home! Great location to hang out afterwards
Heather O'Reilly - 10 July 2022
Brilliant workshop, great to hear about the history of terrariums, beautiful location and great fun
Ruhi Shah - 4 July 2022
A wonderful class from start to finish! We did the class as a couple making one large terrarium together. Booking was very easy and the team were great at answering all questions beforehand and accomodated my special request for a different jar. The class itself was extremely enjoyable, we learned all about the history and care of the terrariums, with some prosecco for extra enjoyment! We were able to choose from different plants including Ginseng trees and other upgrade plants to make our perfect Terrarium and we were extremely pleased with the beautiful finished product! Would very much recommend this class to anyone!
Trina Smith - 3 July 2022
Epic Terrarium class held by Darren - so much fun! Quality products and equipment used to make your very own indoor garden with a cheeky glass of Prosecco while you get your creative juices flowing. I left feeling like I’d been educated and gifted a lovely keepsake - let’s hope I can keep these pretty plants alive!
tom byrne - 15 June 2022
I had a very enjoyable afternoon attending a Terrarium masterclass hosted by Michael and learned many interesting things about the history of Terrariums and how to prepare them. It was a fun team event with other people and I won the prize in the quizz too! A great present that also gave me something to enjoy for lots of time time to come. Highly recommended if you have green fingers and like this sort of thing.
Natalia - 12 June 2022
A fun and informative class and I took home a beautiful terrarium that I hope will live gloriously for a long time. Thank you! 🌱
Ester - 12 June 2022
Lovely time! Highly recommended. It started with some terranium introduction while we enjoyed a glass of prosseco and after few recommendations we start building our own creation.
Tim Brogden - 1 June 2022
I had such a fantastic afternoon with Michael and Fifi at the Terrarium Masterclass, a lot of fun and a very enjoyable, relaxing activity creating my very own terrarium, which is still looking great a couple of weeks later. I'd recommend this to anyone. It was good to get some history and science too. This was given to me as a birthday gift, an ideal present for me. I visited the shop recently too and met Solomon who was lovely and very helpful. All in all a great experience, lovely staff and a lot of fun. Thanks very much.
Alison Saunders - 30 May 2022
The course was great, we learnt so much about how to make and care for our own terrarium and Cameron made sure we all got the help we needed. I can’t wait to try making another one and I know that I can rely on the Botanical Boys for advice with caring for my terrarium.
Melanie - 16 May 2022
Great workshop - relaxed, fun and informative, with a good balance between information-giving, practical terrarium-making and time to drink prosecco and chat with others in the group. I enjoyed the experience, and was very pleased with the terrarium I created. Highly recommended!
Lucy - 16 May 2022
I don't know what I was expecting but it exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere in the space we were sat in was really nice and the presentation was lovely. Cameron 'the moss man' gave an insightful history lesson and we got to create these treasures that we can hold onto for years to come. The terrariums we made were ones I would want to buy, so being able to hand make them ourselves is something really special.
Sophie Noble - 9 May 2022
A lovely relaxing afternoon spent learning about terrariums and then creating your own terrarium. It was really enjoyable and I would highly recommend the class.
Rita - 2 May 2022
Brilliant! The team was informative and helpful, the venue Samsung KX is a gem! Overall experience is positive, definitely worth a try :)
Isabella Tarizzo - 1 May 2022
Really engaging session!
Sue Wall - 1 May 2022
Great fun, and much more informative than I had expected. Who knew there was so much history to terrariums? Good company, well-paced as an event, and a great sense of satisfaction by the end. Overall it was a very relaxing, fun afternoon, and it's easier to carry the terrarium home than you think....mine came all the way home to Derbyshire by train, without any of the plants moving a millimetre.
Linda - 27 April 2022
Loved making a terrarium. Cameron was a great host and tutor, with a good balance of background knowledge and instruction. We were delighted with our finished product. Highly recommended!

Really fun thing to do as a couple

My daughter and I had such a fun afternoon creating our terrarium and it is doing really well in my sunny kitchen. Lovely selection of plants and great instruction.
Shan Phung - 17 April 2022
The host was amazing and had an admirable aura about him. The session was informative and inspiring hearing about the journey of Botanical Boys. We bought the couples ticket and it was really worth it - enjoyable and good fun for friends, family or as a date. We absolutely love our terrarium and cant wait to make more.
Rojina - 17 April 2022
Other peoples reviews of this experience led me to want to buy it. And it definately lived up to my expectations. I took my mum here because shes always wanted to learn how to create a terrarium. Now we have a beautiful one at one and know exactly how to do it again. Thankyou so much!
Tomas White - 12 April 2022
We had a great time at the class! Michael was a great host, showed us how to make a lovely terrarium and kept us laughing throughout

Sai - 10 April 2022
Good workshop for beginners or for trying new things. Selected plants are easy to take care of with just some basic guides. Worth the money and a guaranteed gift to bring back home. I found it more enjoyable than expected, and I think it will become my new hobby. Totally got me into the terrarium!
Ana - 9 April 2022
Great instructions and a fun history lesson on terrarium origins, as well as a quiz at the end with prizes. Enjoy a glass of prosecco while opening up the various pre-measured packages of ingredients. The bonus plants weren't too pricy either!
Luca Bevilacqua - 9 April 2022
I loved every part of the workshop! And I love my new terrarium :)

Overall this workshop exceeded our expectations, we were really impressed with the size and quality of the terrarium and plants provided and would love to do this again.

Great afternoon!
Ifeoma Uzonwa - 2 April 2022
Fantastic and therapeutic time with the team at Botanical boys. I can’t believe how attached I am to my plants, peeking at them daily etc. Ideal for family or even group of friends. Highly recommended and can’t wait to take my girls there again
Cassandra Coulton - 28 March 2022
A really great afternoon! The class was a gift for my partner and he loved it. Cameron was extremely patient, knowledgable and helpful. Especially for such a large group. Definitely recommend!
Evie Elimelech - 27 March 2022
We had the best time making our terrariums! Thanks so much for the experience
Kim Parker - 21 March 2022
I bought the Couples course for my husband for Christmas and we had a wonderful day out in a gorgeous setting. The course was not only a lot of fun, but the quality of the plants and jars was great. Cameron kept it interesting, and informative and we have come away much wiser as a result! Would highly recommend!!
Sam Giddings - 20 March 2022
Fantastic course, little bit of history and straight into learning by doing! Guidance on what you need to do and advice but freedom to create your own mini world with a wide choice of healthy, happy plants.
James English - 15 March 2022
Excellent class, well led and worth the money!
Rebecca Munger - 14 March 2022
What a great experience! It was a perfect and unexpected blend of education, entertainment and making of the terrarium. :) Michael was the ideal host.
Vasilisa - 14 March 2022
Great masterclass! Both "boys" were super engaging and knowledgeable, led the masterclass well and helped the audience. We managed to upgrade to the eggs on the day which was a lot of fun too
Laura White - 14 March 2022
We had a fantastic time making our terrarium yesterday! Lovely and relaxed, and the facilitator was excellent - would definitely recommend!
Shirley Cubitt - 13 March 2022
I came across this class by accident a few weeks ago and thought what a great idea. I went straight home and booked the Terrarium Masterclass. It was a great way to spend 2 hours and really interesting. I really enjoyed getting my hands dirty and the end result looked great. The man running the class was really helpful, friendly and informative. I would definitely recommend this class and the Prosecco was a bonus!
Chloe Evans - 13 March 2022
Such a fun, interactive workshop. The workshop run by Cameron was brilliant! So happy with how my terrarium turned out and he helped everybody along the way. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Gamze - 13 March 2022
Nice ambiance ;)
Lauren Williams - 13 March 2022
The workshop was amazing, Cameron ( I think his name was) was super down to earth (pardon the pun) and made something a little bit nerdy come across as interesting and fun! We were plied with Prosecco throughout and shown how to properly make a terrarium and given the option to upgrade your plants (buy slightly bigger or different ones) aswell as having lots of options already included. I was bought the workshop as a gift and was a little worried because I like plants but I usually find learning really boring. But it was so fun, and now I have two beautiful terrariums in my flat (my partner came along too) and a little more knowledge which is always helpful. The guys teaching the class had a casual approach, were super engaging and really easy to get on with. I would 100% do it again or purchase it for someone else as a gift.
Irini Yanny - 13 March 2022
Fab class and loved the little history lesson at the beginning! Welcomed with bubbles and instructor was clear and approachable. Very pleased with my terrarium! Thankyou guys!
Erin - 11 March 2022
I had previously expressed disappointment in this class as all my plants died, but want to submit a new review as Botanical Boys reached out, took my terrarium back and happily replanted everything for me to ensure I was happy. They really seem to stand behind this class and the product they offer so I'm really pleased. Thanks Botanical Boys!
Oliver Nicholas - 6 March 2022
An incredible and wholesome experience. Brilliantly led by Cameron, who presented the history of terrariums very well, and then continued to give a very attentive session, providing support where needed. Great to walk away with something that will remind you of the experience for years to come. Highly recommend booking this.
Prath - 3 March 2022
This was a great class! As you walk in, the area in the back of the shop is set up to host about 10-12 people. Everything is pre-laid out for you (ie moss, soil, tools, aprons etc). You just have to listen and take instruction from Michael. Michael was a great teacher; funny, informative and very helpful! The time flew by and at the end of it you've got a lovely Terrarium with a box to take it home :) Would highly recommend this course!
Ekwy Nnene - 28 February 2022
Cameron created a fun, relaxed and stimulating experience for us. Thoroughly enjoyed getting my hands dirty, creating something beautiful and hanging out with my friends. Highly recommend!
Zoe Spittle - 28 February 2022
michael was great! really fun class, have recommended it already
Rubens Carvalho - 28 February 2022
The class was great. My wife and I had a lot of fun and we really enjoy our terrariums.
Ron - 27 February 2022
The class was good fun and we'll instructed by Cameron who was passionate and supportive to the lesson. The space used was also novel which lots of space around. The only constructive feedback would be that it would be good if they could include a larger plant in the price as opposed to just a selection of smaller ones
Max Charron - 27 February 2022
Excellent session run by Cameron. Interesting to cover some of the history and science and great fun to build the terrarium itself!
Rebecca Dawson - 27 February 2022
Very informative and great fun.
Megan Carter - 27 February 2022
Absolutely loved it... Not only was the experience absolutely fantastic, but the setting at Samsung was really fun! Cameron was a great host, learned a lot and ended up with a gorgeous new plant friend.... Will definitely be back! More terrariums! All the terrariums!
Lindsey Winkworth - 23 February 2022
Wonderful afternoon spent making a beautiful Terrarium, plenty of plants to choose from, engaging host Michael made us laugh out loud, the prosecco refills were the icing on the cake for what was a totally enjoyable 2 hours. My only advice would be to perhaps take a bag with you to bring your terrarium home as the paper bags provided don't look strong enough if going home by train.
RYAN UHL - 21 February 2022
Great class with some interesting history thrown in! Recommend for anyone who has green fingers.
Sophie Chakowa - 21 February 2022
Such a great class, Micheal was knowledgeable and friendly. Great value for money too with all the materials and clear guidance throughout.
Loretta Rice - 21 February 2022
We had a really fun time, the host Mike was really fun and made the session interactive with lots of jokes, quizzes and prizes. It was interesting too as he gave us a history of terrariums and care instructions. Really loved it!
mathilde cros - 21 February 2022
Amazing class, both interesting and relaxing with some amazing explanation and back story on terrarium, and a really nice set up. Would recommend 100%
Joe Payne - 20 February 2022
Really fun and interesting session with a great instructor who made it informative and exciting.
Alice - 19 February 2022
Cameron was fab - super knowledgable and made the class really fun throughout. Really enjoyed the fact there was a mixture of creating and a history lesson too. Step by step instructions ensured everyone left with a fab looking piece! Loved the mixture of free plants and optional upgrades to make it look better.
Paul Crowley - 14 February 2022
Partner bought this for me as a present. Was great fun, really interactive, well explained, good choice of jars and plants, and I learnt a lot about gardening generally. I found it a relaxed and welcoming environment. The only criticism is that my partner had upgraded me but the instructor was not aware of this. If my partner hadn't told me she'd upgraded me, I would not have known to flag this and would have been given the same sized jar and plants as others who had not been upgraded.
Anonymous - 13 February 2022
Thoroughly enjoyed this workshop - it was really fun and interesting. Great for couples!
Alex Stein - 9 February 2022
I bought the 2 hr workshop course for my wife as a birthday present and she absolutely loved it!
Dan Cobley - 6 February 2022
Great session. The venue (at Samsung) was perfect and Cameron did a brilliant job on the history and the practicalities of the terrarium. Highly recommended.
Joanne - 5 February 2022
Wonderful workshop - filled with useful info, how to care for your terrarium, the history of terrariums, and so much fun to create your own! I love my terrarium that I made with my own hands!
Anonymous - 31 January 2022
We had the best time at the workshop. I would highly recommend it to anyone of any age, level, interest. It was a super relaxing and fun-filled afternoon. I can't stop staring at my beautiful terrarium. Thank you!
Tracy Rice - 31 January 2022
Great knowledge and hands on teaching
Karishma Chudasama - 30 January 2022
Unique and a very creative experience, playing with the mucky mud sure is an endorphin booster. Both our hosts were knowledgable and super helpful in helping us create a great, hopefully self sustaining, terrarium!
Ilana Garrard - 30 January 2022
Really fun day and the host, Michael, was hilarious.
Cameron Lester - 23 January 2022
Amazing!
Anonymous - 23 January 2022
great experience. very well prepared. worth it
Rosie - 17 January 2022
We had a great experience at Botanical Boys, excellent explanation, resources and environment! Many thanks to our teacher who helped us create gorgeous pieces of work :D
linda & James edwards - 10 January 2022
This was booked for a mother & son day, for his Christmas present. Fantastic class, very professionally done. Cameron who ran the class was brilliant!! so knowledgeable and delivered the class with humour. We came away with a beautiful terrarium, mother & son so chuffed. Highly recommended.
Louis - 9 January 2022
Brilliant afternoon, excellently led and the terrariums we build are wonderful
Lorraine Rudling - 21 December 2021
A brilliant way to spend a bleak afternoon in December. The tutor was very knowledgeable and I left with a beautiful terrarium I had made myself.
Alison Mannion - 20 December 2021
I had booked this for my husband’s birthday. Our two daughters decided to have a go too so it was lovely to do this all together. This has been so much fun and we all thoroughly enjoyed the session. It was also very informative too, with Michael telling us about the history of Terrariums, we all enjoyed the quiz and Prosecco too! We came home with 4 lovely terrariums. Would highly recommend.
Becca Thomas - 18 December 2021
We had an amazing time at the terrarium class with Mike! Prosecco on arrival and then an amazing class atmosphere, with lots of handy tips on terrariums. We were really impressed with the terrariums we created as well. Mike made it such a fun afternoon - we couldn’t recommend him more highly. We will be back! Had a lovely time
Anonymous - 13 December 2021
Great fun, loved it. Got a history lesson as well as a lovely terrarium at the end and met some lovely people, highly recommend this course.
Holly H - 6 December 2021
Absolutely brilliant class. Really well prepared with all the items laid out on the table. Michael was engaging and it was great to hear facts about terrariums as well as making them. The value for money for this class is great with all the items you get included and I can't recommend it enough - not only is it a soothing way to spend an afternoon but you leave with a terrarium to treasure and lots of hints and tips to look after it.
Donald McLean - 29 November 2021
I absolutely loved it! I got this as a present and it had never crises my mind to take such a class. It was absolutely brilliant in a super cool setting and the presenter was great and you come away with a fantastic terrarium! Lovely mixed crowd of people. I 100% recommend it.
Anonymous - 28 November 2021
Really enjoyed this masterclass, it exceeded our expectations. The teacher was funny and informative. Would highly recommend this masterclass.
Vish Desai - 23 November 2021
A really lovely experience. Nice venue, informative and entertaining. Michael was an excellent host!
Sarah Kay - 22 November 2021
Class was really good fun. Great host and lots of info about the history of terrariums and how to care for them going forward. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Joey Mazars - 22 November 2021
Great workshop and experience!
Daisy Morrison - 17 November 2021
Fantastic session, with an absolutely lovely group of people. I learnt so much beyond the actual terrarium making, and had a load of fun - thank you so much!
Fredi C - 15 November 2021
The class was well organised and the teacher was attentive.
Ralph Wong - 15 November 2021
I have had prior knowledge of terrariums but there were questions unanswered, some used activated charcoal, others said not to, then some added isopods to the mix. The class was informative but dwelled too much on the origin, it was fun though and the participants at my table were friendly. The Fittonias' were a great fit for this but some of the other upgrade plants were too big to fit in the regular terrarium provided, hence the chance to upgrade. Perhaps you would consider having other varieties of plants that would fit. All in all a great way to spend a few hours, gaining insight into this.
Ben - 14 November 2021
I booked the class for my wifes bday. It was a fantastic afternoon, Michael was an excellent host/teacher throughout the afternoon. Would highly recommend this masterclass.
Rebecca - 13 November 2021
As non gardeners we weren’t sure what to expect from this class but we’re not left disappointed. We had so much fun! The instructor Michael was very engaging. A nice little group of 8 meant we could chat, laugh and compete against one another for upgrades. Thoroughly enjoyed the class and absolutely love my terrarium! Thank you BB :-D
Anna Marcuk - 6 November 2021
It's been so much fun! Definitely would recommend and recommending to everyone! Very educational, full of games, fun and great atmosphere!
Martin Illing - 30 October 2021
If you’re idea of returning to nature is sitting in an area akin to a large department TV sales floor, whilst your instructor tries to be heard over irritating music and other presentations, this is for you.
Florin Gheorghiu - 29 October 2021
Awesome workshop!
Bradley Jones - 25 October 2021
Really enjoyable activity. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It was interesting and entertaining. Great fun!
Simone Lander - 24 October 2021
What a fantastic couple of hours. Cameron was brilliant- very informative and offered great advice & assistance with the planting. I would definitely recommend the workshop. Thank you very much for a fab time 🌳☘️🍃🪴
marco civale - 17 October 2021
It was a lovely experience. I loved the time I spent doing the terrarium, it's looking lovely. Very professional!
Hazel Elder-Vass - 11 October 2021
We really enjoyed our class, our tutor Cameron was great, definitely recommend!
Alex Da Camara - 11 October 2021
Cameron was a fantastic instructor, giving us the history of terrariums which was very interesting, while also giving plenty of help when needed. The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyed by both me and my partner, and we would love to do it again! Some tiny feedback, me and my partner didn’t drink and it would be nice if they offer a juice option for those of us who aren’t into Prosecco. (Water was offered and we appreciated that)
Sarah Miller - 4 October 2021
Great Fun, Great Environment and we came home with two terraria - what's not to love
Karen Turley - 3 October 2021
The class itself was great, however after cards when walking around due to rain my friends bag split and terrarium crashed to the ground. Then later on when in a public toilet I hung my bag on a hook, the bag tapped the back of the door and the glass broke. Would be beneficial if you said to people that they are very fragile and to take extra care, especially when walking round London. So a great class but unfortunately we both had nothing to show for it.
Gabby - 2 October 2021
Amazing class, couldn’t recommend this more! Cameron was amazing and great at explaining how to build the terrarium. 5 stars and a lovely afternoon activity.
Nita Mistry - 20 September 2021
Such a lovely afternoon set in a great location. Cameron certainly knew his stuff and presented all things about Terrariums in a relaxed but fun manner. Thanks BB - I am looking forward to watching my plants grow and thrive.
Zena - 20 September 2021
Brilliant class, really fun, and very proud of our terrariums!
Kristen - 18 September 2021
This class is fantastic- we booked it as a birthday present, and the recipient had a great experience. Cameron was a great host. Highly recommended!
Isabel & Claire - 15 September 2021
Cameron was nothing but AMAZING! He was so knowledgable and made the class super fun ~ he really went above and beyond to make the evening special and as a result our terrariums are beautiful! We can't wait to watch them grow and hopefully return again, to be hosted by him!
Benu Khanna - 14 September 2021
An excellent way to spend the afternoon. Very well organised
Valentina Carmona - 13 September 2021
Had an amazing time! Michael (our instructor) was extremely helpful and made the afternoon very fun and interesting, we learned so much, enjoyed the drinks and got along with everyone there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!
Heather Shakeshaft - 13 September 2021
In love with my terrarium! It was a great class, with limited enough numbers that you never feel left without help. The host was great, with good tips, facts and top ups of prosecco.
Anna - 12 September 2021
Such an enjoyable workshop! Went with a group of friends and we now each have a beautiful terrarium. Botanical Boys thought of everything (even Prosecco!) and Cameron was a great host. Would definitely recommend 😆
Nina - 7 September 2021
Most fun class i have ever been to Michael was amazing Thank you botanical boys😊
Nina - 7 September 2021
The most fun class i have ever been to Michael was amazing, really enjoyed Thank you botanical boys 😊
Heidi&Suzie Putney high school - 5 September 2021
What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! We had such fun, learnt loads and as if by magic (and with some kind help) we ended up with two fantastic terrariums. We will certainly be back for more.
Becky Pulley - 5 September 2021
Such a brilliant workshop! I learnt a lot and I’m very pleased with my terrarium too. This was such a fun way to spend an afternoon, I’d highly recommend it!
Anna - 30 August 2021
Really great class with superb information on history of terrariums and advice on building from Cameron. Would definitely recommend.
Alice - 23 August 2021
Really great class - nice to have some history & background as well as the little pop quiz afterwards. Cameron was fantastic - really welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable and really added to the experience. Very pleased with how my terrarium turned out and it now has pride of place on my shelf!
Katie - 22 August 2021
What a fabulous class. Loved the combination of history, practical and super teaching. Thanks so much. Our family loved it and so nice to have such Gorgeous piece of nature to take home!
Nanci Louzinho - 16 August 2021
Absolutely loved the workshop
Lee Bridgman - 15 August 2021
Was such a great experience and can not recommend it enough! Our practice leader Cameron was ace, and the whole session is a hidden gem of London.
Robert MacGeoch - 14 August 2021
Excellent! Great setting and wonderful to learn a little about the history of terrariums. We were walked through how to create our own and given the liberty to design it how we wanted. Fantastic and rewarding way to spend an afternoon.
Jade - 9 August 2021
This was such a good class! I came away with a great knowledge of terrariums, how to care for them and where they originated from. Plus a stunning handmade terrarium that hopefully I’ll love for many many years! I’m recommending this class to everyone I know.
Grant WILLIAMSON - 8 August 2021
Really enjoyable course. Interesting bit of history before diving in and getting our hands dirty. Everyone left with an amazing looking terrarium and a big smile on their faces. Recommended.
Reem Hasaballah - 8 August 2021
It was amazing the team was very nice and helped us step by step plus we had Prosecco always a plus but I definitely recommend and will be coming back again
Diane corrister - 3 August 2021
We had a brilliant time. Cameron was a great and supportive tutor, full of enthusiasm and knowledge. Both of us came away with lovely terainiums, having had a fab afternoon.. Highly recommended x
Shirley Parnell - 2 August 2021
Very informative and enjoyable time. Left with beautiful terrarium - very pleased.
Sarah Ryan - 2 August 2021
Loved it! Instructor was great, interesting class, lots of info on history & care etc, terrarium looks fantastic!!
Dimple Divecha - 2 August 2021
Great class! The instructor was knowledgeable and clear. Wonderful to get your hands stuck into some soil and get creative with plants. The only thing I would say is it felt a little rushed, I think maybe half an hour extra would have been perfect so we have enough time for the history bit, the hands-on bit, and then any follow-up questions, etc. Regardless of that, would still highly recommend!
Wanju Lee - 31 July 2021
Did it for my birthday with two friends and we loved it! Super fun and we learnt a lot.
Nicole Engelmann - 25 July 2021
Loved the workshop! I attended on my own, but this can also be a fun thing to do with a friend or group of friends. I learned really interesting things about the history of terrariums and immensely enjoyed the creation of my very own one with the guys' guidance. Highly recommend!
Nick Burden - 13 July 2021
Absolutely fantastic class, great way to spend a day and love my new Terrarium!
Amber Morrison - 12 July 2021
Fantastic day, learnt a lot and walked away with a beautiful terrarium!

Faisal Ghloum - 11 July 2021
It was a lovely experience! Had so much fun with my friend
Lewis Humble - 5 July 2021
Amazing all round experience with engaging and entertaining hosts. Plenty of history and context given which made the experience feel really worthwhile. Will recommend to all my plant loving friends
Sheena - 4 July 2021
A great way to spend a couple of hours. Micheal our host was great, it was informative, relaxing and you create a piece of art to take home with you.Would make a brilliant gift for that awkward person to buy for 🙂. Highly recommend !
Vanessa Henfrey - 3 July 2021
Great relaxing class. Learnt about Terrariums, and how to plant them and came away really pleased with my terrarium created. Was also really very covid safe with all measures fully respected. highly recommend!
Monika - 29 June 2021
I loved my terrarium class run by the Botanical Brothers on Sunday. It was a couple of hours well spent in a very relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend it to anybody who loves plants and enjoy creating beautiful things. Thank you so much.
Ivanna Tripaldi - 28 June 2021
Michael was very friendly and the workshop was informative and relaxed. I love terrariums and truly enjoyed creating one. The only thing I would have like more of is more explanation on what’s the reason we use each ingredient and how it contributes to the overall growth. I am quite geeky about it so maybe is just me! My partner loved it too and we now have two beautiful terrariums at home.
Donna Williams - 27 June 2021
I thoroughly enjoyed my masterclass and am so pleased with the terrarium I created. The workshop environment was well set out, knowledgable tutor with excellent facilities.
Alice Davies - 20 June 2021
Brilliant class, we had so much fun and learnt a lot more than we expected too! Our teacher (sorry, I can't remember his name) was brilliant. Would recommend to anyone!
JH - 20 June 2021
Nice venue, relaxed but informative atmosphere & enthusiastic instruction. Really enjoyed my day & delighted with my terrarium masterpiece! :)
Isabela Oliveira - 15 June 2021
Terrarium masterclass was amazing. I got to know more about it, created a beautiful terrarium and had a lot of fun. I already recommended it to all my friends.
Elizabeth Twyford - 14 June 2021

Kayleigh Smith - 2 June 2021
Welcoming, friendly & very helpful...what a lovely host. Everyone left really happy & pleased with their terrarium. Love that they also offer follow up advice & help if needed.
Terry - 30 May 2021
Great gift especially for people with tiny gardens!
Andrada - 27 May 2021
Amazing class! Great host, very well explained and plenty of materials and opportunity to get creative!
Lyn - 27 December 2020
Brilliant workshop, funny and informative with a lovely glass garden to take home.
Olivier - 21 December 2020
Really liked the workshop and Michael was really nice and made the session interactive. The only thing I’d correct is the venue . Although it’s grand , it was rather loud and hence quite difficult to focus on what Michael was saying . I would definitely organise the session somewhere a bit more intimate
Jenny - 6 December 2020
Great fun, lovely roomy space and enthusiastic teacher. Learnt more about Terrariums as well as got to create my own to take home and treasure.
Helen - 3 December 2020
Really fun. Danny was massively engaging and supportive. Did this online after a series of unavoidable cancellations but it still worked and plants arrived unharmed in post. Would definitely recommend.
Marie Juliette - 15 November 2020
Great workshop, very dynamic and interesting. I really had a great time. The online version works very well.
Lydia - 14 November 2020
The most loveliest class, very well put together and all done very well. The teacher was great and we had a great few hours workshop. Would highly recommend to anyone
Toni - 6 November 2020
The workshop itself was good. The trainer had a great energy and the experience was fun. However, it was 3 of us doing the course, and a couple of weeks after we took at home the terrariums we made at the workshop, all the plants had died and there was mould. All 3 of us followed the exact guidelines and kept the terrariums as suggested but weirdly they all died at the same time. Of course when dealing with plants there might be occasions where the plants don't survive but in this occasion is hard to believe it was a coincidence for all 3 of us.
Bex - 5 November 2020
Really fun workshop - entertaining and quite therapeutic! Host really knew his stuff (and plants). Thought was good value for money. Fingers crossed we can keep the terrariums alive!
Kirsti - 4 November 2020
Michael was an excellent host and teacher for this masterclass. The level of engagement and fun was just right, and the prosecco was an added bonus! Really enjoyable and would book something similar again.
Perrine - 3 November 2020
I really enjoy my time at the Terrarium Masterclass. We had an introduction on the terrarium history which was very interesting and then built our own Terrarium with the advise of an amazing teacher. It is a very good price for value as we go home with our own Terrarium. I really recommend this class! Thank you Botanical boys
Kathleen - 2 November 2020
I loved it! It was a fun class. It’s very relaxing to make a terrarium! Love, love, love the finished product! Love looking at the terrarium!
Laura - 2 November 2020
One of the best workshop I have ever attended. My terrarium looks amazing and the "boys" were super nice, helpful and very very funny! Such a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. And I feel super lucky I managed to attend the workshop before lockdown! HIGHLY recommended it! ah one more thing: prosecco is included! I had 3 glasses :))
Chee - 1 November 2020
I did this with my 3 kids to kick off the half term and it was amazing, the kids had a great time and the team at botanical boys were great, my kids even learnt about the history of terrariums :) This is a great activity for both adults and kids.
Simon - 31 October 2020
I had a very enjoyable afternoon making my own terrarium with Botanical Brothers. I found the class to be informativve and fun! Top class materials and teaching. The end result stunning! Would definitely recommend.
KAI - 27 October 2020
Super fun & informative! Will definitely go back! Thank you again :)
Liv - 26 October 2020
This workshop was so much fun! Informative, interactive and different to anything we'd done before, we had a great couple of hours. The terrariums are much bigger than the photos suggest, and the workshop was more than worth the money. I would definitely sign up for another workshop with Botanical Boys!
Carla - 26 October 2020
Really enjoyed the class, the teacher was really informative and fun to listen to. The terrariums looked great when finished, but unfortunately my case got broken on the way home - maybe bring bubble wrap if your traveling a long distance? Definitely recommend the class though!
Peter - 20 October 2020
A really fun experience and a beautiful keepsake to take away at the end of it. Even a non-gardener, non-artistic person like myself was able to make something really cool. The teacher, Dan, was a really interesting, friendly bloke who brought a great energy to the class and was knowledgable and skillful. I would highly recommend to a friend and may even do the session again myself.
Bethany - 17 October 2020
We had so much fun at the Terrarium class- it was fun, relaxing and a great way to cut off! Thank you!
John - 12 October 2020
Danny was informative, kind and patient. A great class which I recommend to all!!
Amy - 6 October 2020
It was such a lovely class, I had an amazing time and the team were so friendly - thanks Botanical Boys!
Patrick - 4 October 2020
The workshop was really great. Well crafted. Danny and Michael were very knowledgeable and the space was really nice in the Samsung shop above coal drops yard. Great date idea with prosecco a bonus!
India - 4 October 2020
Danny (I hope this is how you spell it!) and Michael absolutely made the experience. They were engaging, funny, helpful and knowledgeable. It was such a great terrarium class for us beginners and in a really cool setting. We had such a great time and it was a perfect “social-distanced” activity during these crap times! Couldn’t recommend more. Thanks for a great time, Jon and India. X
Karan - 3 October 2020
Excellent Workshop! The guys did a very good job of making everyone feel welcome, providing an informative session of the history of terrariums, topping up our Prosecco glasses and of course walking us through how to best create our terrariums. The end result was fantastic! Perfect for a casual outing or even a special event (we went for my friend’s birthday treat...safe to say she thoroughly enjoyed it!). Highly recommend if you’re looking for something that’s a bit different!
Rosie - 30 September 2020
We had a lovely afternoon making terrariums! Have come away with a beautiful, living work of art. Our instructors were relaxed, humorous and knowledgeable. Now to hope mine survives!
Alix - 28 September 2020
This class was brilliant! The facilitators gave really clear instructions and made it super fun. Best way to spend a Sunday afternoon - I would highly recommend this :)
Janica - 27 September 2020
I got this as a birthday present for my partner and we had the best time! You learn about the history of terrariums and get your hands dirty quick making one. Would recommend this to everyone!
Emily - 26 September 2020
A really nice relaxing thing to do, especially if you’re in London at the minute with all the restrictions! Would definitely do it again
Basak - 24 September 2020
Great experience at such a pleasant place with amazing tutors. It was my first class since March/start of lockdown and I enjoyed it so much. I wanted to buy a terrarium for a long time, but instead of buying it making it myself was a good idea. I'm already planning my second terrarium - second class.
Dora - 22 September 2020
Highly recommend!
Dora - 22 September 2020
Super fun class and helpful staff! We were glad that we rescheduled instead of getting a refund due to covid. Great to support businesses that deserve it. Highly recommend this class!
Sheila - 21 September 2020
Fantastic fun day afternoon. Michael and Danny were fantastic hosts and were very helpful in every way. Could not recommend it highly enough.
Charlotte - 21 September 2020
We had such a great experience at the Botanical Boys Terrarium Masterclass! Everyone was super friendly and helpful, the class was great value for money and everyone's masterpiece ended up looking beautiful! A really relaxing atmosphere and the perfect way to spend an afternoon!
Rebecca - 21 September 2020
Thoroughly enjoyed the terrarium making course! The setting and location was perfect with great instruction and materials provided. We were very pleased with both the making process and the final product!
Eila - 21 September 2020
Relaxing and educational - perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
Ellie - 20 September 2020
Really informative session and great value for money. We have come away with two beautiful terrariums as well as the skills required to look after them. We have completed a lot of different workshops and this was by far the best one we have done - would definitely recommend!
Margaux - 15 September 2020
Really enjoyed the experience. Only comment I had was that there wasn’t much flexibility in terms of creativity. We were all given the exact same materials/plants. It would have been nice to be able to pick your own materials from a slightly wider range of choice. Otherwise it was great fun. Thanks!
Grace - 14 September 2020
Great workshop, really well run and organised. Such a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
Ruggieri - 3 September 2020
Fantastic Masterclass! The atmosphere was super friendly and relaxed. You leave the class with many tips, insights and of course a gorgeous terrarium! Highly recommended

Great class with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I made a beautiful terrarium (all materials provided and a chance to upgrade to different plants if wanted), had a glass of Prosecco and learnt a little about the origins of terrariums. Highly recommend it!
Madison - 2 September 2020
Really fun, great instructor, and good value for money as buying a terrarium of that size would cost a lot more than the class. All of my friends are now jealous of my terrarium and will be signing up for classes soon!
Connor - 1 September 2020
Great class ran by two brilliant guys. They're both very knowledgeable, and reallt set the scene with the history of terariums. The class is very much 'this is how you do it' and then off you go! It's a great way to get the creative juices flowing. My fiance upgraded to the Eden jar and had people from all over the class/shop commenting on it. I would definitely recommend going, and will perhaps come back with more friends another tike!
Victoria - 24 August 2020
Such a fun and enjoyable afternoon making our own terrariums with Botanical Boys. Very knowledgable and great plants meant we came away with something we’re really proud of. Highly recommended!
Emma - 24 August 2020
Really good fun. An exercise in mindfullness. Great quality products.
Katya - 24 August 2020
What a great way to spend a couple of hours! Firstly, the space used was fantastic. The workshop was set out well, making it easy to feel comfortable and safe within social distancing guidelines. The guys presenting were brilliant! From the really interesting history around terrarium lesson and the ‘how to build the terrarium’ guide, the guys were both engaging and attentive. The glass of bubbles was a lovely touch and we had a really enjoyable time creating our little gardens. I would definitely recommend the workshop and will be booking again for birthdays. Thanks Botanical boys
Nancy - 23 August 2020
Had a great relaxing time at the terrarium making class by the Botanical Boys. The instructor was attentive and genuinely shared the love for plants with the class.
Fiona - 18 August 2020
Fun experience!
Roann - 16 August 2020
Such a great experience!
Rizwan - 16 August 2020
The masterclass was very simple but engaging at the same time and very relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and came back with a beautiful Terrarium
Mar - 16 August 2020
I really enjoyed this terrarium class. Very spacious working area at the Samsung shop, the guys were super friendly and helpful, very generous with materials too. Loved the brief terrarium history intro and visiting the shop for a plant treat afterwards. Highly recommend it
Charlotte - 13 August 2020
This worksh
Nicola - 12 August 2020
Great thanks! My only suggestions would be: The trainer could speak a bit louder since in the airy room, with Air con, and masks on, it was hard to hear him (and/or mix up where he stands in the room, though I realise easier for everyone to face the front) I'm not sure the stones /rocks etc were spread out across all tables at the start - there were none on our table so seemed like we didn't know that opportunity was on its way! I had a great time and am really happy with my terrarium, thanks!
Sharon - 10 August 2020
Love the class. Was lovely to learn about the history of plant terrariums and the technique to make one. The tutors were all nice and knowledgable. I love the terrarium I made and would love to do it again with friends/family. The class was conducted in a nice studio with an air-conditioner. Major bonus point.
Ben - 10 August 2020
Good class, both very welcoming and willing to answer questions about the class and beyond.
Ian - 10 August 2020
Hosts were really knowledgeable and friendly. They made special arrangements for social distancing, it felt safe and not over the top. The activity itself is fun and calming. The end result looks great in our bedroom. Would recommend.
Alex - 9 August 2020
Lovely teachers, bit of bubbly, great venue, learned a lot and came away with a great terrarium.
Danielle - 6 August 2020
Fantastic class, the teacher was really friendly and welcoming , great atmosphere in the session and i now have a gorgeous terrarium! Highly recommended
Natalie - 6 August 2020
Was a fantastic experience!! Not only did i get to express my creative side but learn about the history and maintenance for my new Terrarium. Has definitely solidified my love of plants and now Terrariums, I would recommend this class for everyone, it was fun, social, relaxing and satisfying to walk away with a beautiful end product.
Sarah - 30 July 2020
I thoroughly enjoyed this class - it was very relaxing and mindful and I am really pleased with the Terrarium I produced. It was the perfect activity and the Samsung space is lovely and airy so felt very safe. it was a shame that we had to wear masks for the entire experience as we was plenty of space and we were easily 2m away from each other but I guess thats just the way things are at the moment.
Mystery - 27 July 2020
Very therapeutic! Loved the class 3 hours went just like that! Would definitely reccomend. Wasnt too fussed with the Samsung phones but understood this needed to be done to rent the space. Would have been good to be able to choose a selection of plants. Other than that, my husband and I really enjoyed it and are very very happy with our creations!
Angela - 4 April 2020
The class was good, I enjoyed making the terrarium and it is still alive! I wasn't so keen on the class space though as it was taught in the Samsung building, on a open floor in a public area, where there was lots of hustle and bustle and noises of other things going on. Our host had a microphone, so hearing him wasn't a problem, it just wasn't as tranquil as I would have liked and seemed an odd setting for something so mindful. The theme for the class was mindfulness and connecting to nature but the setting was like being in the middle of a shopping centre. I did still enjoy the activity though.
Helen - 16 February 2020
This class was so great! Love my terrarium!
teresa - 9 February 2020
The classes was small so the teacher could give us attention when we needed it. The whole experience was fantastic and the terrariums turned out better than I expected. Would definitely recommend to do!
J - 16 November 2019
Fantastic! Would definitely recommend!
Rachael - 12 November 2019
Amazing class! The guys that run this are so knowledgeable and made the experience so much fun. I came home with a beautiful terrarium and a massive amount of plant care tips. I highly recommend!
Bhavita - 5 November 2019
My boyfriend and I attended the SamsungKK session on 2 November 2019 (13:00-15:00). We weren’t sure what to expect, having been recommended by a colleague, but overall had a very enjoyable time. The session lead was friendly and approachable, and provided an interesting history lesson on the evolution of the terrarium. Champagne and water were also provided, which was a nice touch. The lesson itself was well instructed and very hands-on, with great scope for creative freedom. We were given clear instructions on how to ensure garden longevity and there was a wide variety and ample supply of materials on offer. The resulting terrariums were generally excellent across the board and most seemed to really embrace the experience. However, there were a few elements that detracted from the overall experience which The Botanical Boys may wish to address for future sessions. Predominantly, we found the venue to be very loud (open to the public) and considering terrarium-making is pitched as a relaxing and mindful experience, this was quite off-putting and felt more like a live event than a closed session. Matters were compounded by the fact the sound system was hit and miss (even switching off at one point) and at times it could be difficult to hear all instructions. The session leader also hinted that they do smaller lessons (20 people was quite a lot) where they serve tea, and it was a shame this refreshment wasn’t on offer.
Kayleigh - 4 November 2019
I really enjoyed the informative and relaxing Terrarium Masterclass. The Botanical Boys are really friendly and I love my first terrarium :-) Thank you
Mariya - 23 October 2019
Very good!
S - 16 October 2019
Had a great time. it was engaging, fun, and educational. I love my terrarium!!
Charlotte - 13 October 2019
Absolutely inspiring and fun. Darren was a legend and super knowledgable. I appreciated his combination of history and education, as well as practical daily tips. Thank you!
Klaudia - 11 October 2019
Amazing workshop - so inspirational to grow and care for plants. Great venue and lovely atmosphere! Really made my day :)
Lara - 7 October 2019
This was a thoroughly enjoyable session. Darren from Botanical Boys was friendly, funny and informative. Along with taking us through how to make the terrariums, he talked us through the history of how terrariums came to be and their role in international trade. We also learnt about after care for the terrariums and general plant care. I did the class with some friends as a gift for one of their birthdays - ideal present and great afternoon. The Samsung space and Coal Drops yard is also a great location.
Anthony - 5 October 2019
Had such a fantastic afternoon learning about the history of terrariums and then going on to make one myself. Ben was such a lovely and knowledgeable instructor. I'd definitely recommend this to my friends 10/10! Anthony
Sebastian - 1 October 2019
Fun workshop. Quite proud of my creation :-)
Tuuli - 29 September 2019
Absolutely amazing. Not only had we the chance to create our own terrariums, we also got insight into how, when and where terrariums were first introduced to our society. The instructor was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the experience and hope to have a chance to participate in similar classes.
Mehdi - 29 September 2019
Brilliant workshop. Very informative and had lots of fun. Shout out to the prosecco & Darren for a great afternoon!
Rachel - 25 September 2019
Absolutely excellent class - the teacher was engaging and funny, and clearly very well informed. We had a great time and we had such a laugh with him and made some terrariums we’re really happy with!
Alice - 21 September 2019
Amazing evening, so interactive and funny... the dinosaurs were amazing! Love my new addition
Laia - 19 September 2019
This class was amazing, had so much laugh and Adam was great, considering returning for more terrariums!
Ting Yi - 15 September 2019
Definitely worth the money! The class was inside Coal drops yard Samsung's showroom kitchen and we even had prosecco during the class! Terrarium workshop was really fun and enjoyable! Would recommend!
Rachel - 15 September 2019
Amazing workshop! Very informative about the plants / history and care, and loved my finished terrarium! Will be buying this workshop for friends.
Joad - 5 September 2019
Really fun evening. Darren was charming and entertaining. We got our hands dirty and walked away with a lovely terrarium.
Wai - 1 September 2019
Great time. Great fun. Great experience!
Ray - 1 September 2019
Super super amazing! Very very interesting!
Anna - 25 August 2019
Really informative and high value- would attend anything else the Botanical Boys plan!
Nathan - 22 August 2019
Really informative, excellent hosts! Really fun class with a beautiful terrarium to take home. So patient with all our random plant questions and the 30 day guarantee is a good reassurance of the quality of the teaching and products. Can’t wait to do the Christmas wreath session!
Alina - 16 August 2019
Had a great time making a terrarium with the Botanical Boys. The setting - their botanical workshop in Coals Drop Yard - is really pretty and relaxing with lots of greenery around. We came away with lovely terrariums we are all proud of. Prosecco is also offered which is a lovely bonus! Would recommend this glass to anyone who likes plants, but particularly those who are rubbish at looking after them!
Joshua - 5 August 2019
Very informative and casual evening in their new space in King's Cross. The store is a pleasure to be in and provides loads of inspiration (that and the prosecco...) while making your own terrarium. Darren and Ben bring lots of enthusiasm to what they do and have created a really fun and unique workshop
Lucinda - 4 August 2019
A very relaxing class with friendly teachers. Learned about how to construct a terrarium, so feel I could make another one by myself now.
D - 4 August 2019
Had a great afternoon at my Terrarium workshop and am enjoying the fun and beauty of it everyday! Well worth learning and digging in to creating something beautiful! Thank you Botanical Boys!!
Francine - 27 July 2019
Best workshop we have ever been to! The guys are so kind, welcoming and supportive. Creating a terrarium with them was fun and relaxing in equal measure. We are overjoyed with our terrariums and will continue to treasure them. A very special experience in a very special place!
Abigail - 27 July 2019
The terrarium workshop was very well taught and thoroughly enjoyable! I would highly recommend it
Chris - 17 July 2019
Great workshop. Worth every penny. I had fun making my terrarium and learning about where they started and how to keep them alive. Also love the fact they guarantee the plants just in case you have any issues
James - 14 July 2019
Great workshop resulting in some lovely terrariums!
Ross - 14 July 2019
A fantastic workshop, surrounded by inspiring terrariums, and run by entertaining and helpful teachers. Thanks!
Tom - 9 July 2019
Very engaging and enjoyable session learning a little about the history of terrariums and then making our own. I would strongly recommend.
Phil - 9 July 2019
Had a great time at this workshop, Botanical Boys created a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere (Prosecco was an excellent touch). It was interesting to learn about the history of terrariums before we got stuck in to making our own. Really pleased with the terrarium I created, lots of different plants and decorative gravels to choose from to get creative, looks fab in my bathroom! : )
Lan - 8 July 2019
It was a great Sunday afternoon spending at the Botanical Boy's house. I've learned the history of Terrarium, as well as the skills to make one by myself. I think everyone deserves a bit of time to focus (instead of using your phone), discover your creativity, and find your inner peace. "When you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. Your tastes only narrow and exclude people. So create. " - Jonathan Gillette Thanks Darren for offering me an unforgettable experience. Hope everything goes well in the future. :)
Noël - 7 July 2019
Awesome! Thanks guys. Great class for anyone who fancies learning more about terrariums and getting their hands dirty. :-)
Lloyd - 3 July 2019
The class was really good. Might be a good tip to say that they have a cat. My friend and I have pretty strong allergies so a heads up would have been nice. They were nice enough to give me some extra moss to put in the terrarium. The introduction was a little long~ but apart from that it was a good day out
Teresa - 30 June 2019
Thanks so much for opening up your world to us Ben and Darren! I am going through a tough time at the moment and decided to do this on my own today. You both were so welcoming and created a really positive vibe for the whole group! You were informative on the local area, on the history of plants and terrariums and you certainly made yours and bens passion really shine out. You made us all feel so comfortable and gave us the confidence to just let our creativity flow that at the end all of our terrariums had their own personalities - I'm so attached already and am so motivated to taking care of this little world! I felt so good after leaving today, despite everything that is going on external to this, and everytime I look at my terrarium I'm reminded of the positivity, relaxation and happiness that you transmitted at this masterclass. I'll definitely be back like I said - and wish you both all the best for the very exciting future for the Botanical Boys ahead!!
Joy - 27 June 2019
It was very interesting and the teacher was very nice and funny. Love my new mini ecosystem.
Miriam - 25 June 2019
We had an amazing time. Adam (I'm sorry if you're name isn't Adam!) is so much fun and a great instructor!
None - 19 June 2019
Excellent class! Relaxing and really interesting. Definitely recommend booking it! :)
Lewis - 18 June 2019
Such a fun Masterclass! Adam was a brilliant teacher, we learnt lots, drank bubbles and listened to some questionable music :P My terrarium looks amazing in my flat. Will definitely do this again at some point.
Lucy - 17 June 2019
The class was great, I would highly recommend and would definetly do it again! Really relaxing and informative with beautiful terraniums to take home in the end. The host was really welcoming and helpful. I loved the whole experience :)
Chris Andrew - 16 June 2019
This wasn’t a fantastic experience. The hosts (literally, as the venue was their own home, which was incredible) was great. It’s was a great mix of independent production and applied assistance meaning you felt the result was something you had created. Advice was platinum, but not forced. I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in greenery or plants. Something to do as a group or a couple. I would not have known about this if it were not for Obby. Top stuff!!!
Camila - 12 June 2019
it was a great afternoon, learning about plants and having fun.
Alan - 10 June 2019
Amazing - great hosts, very interesting and entertaining at the same time, and catered for a whole variety of ages! Prosecco was generously served too which is always a bonus! Many thanks
Carmel - 9 June 2019
The perfect birthday present for my husband! We had such a fab afternoon in a beautiful space, and Darren was so informative and lovely. It was great to get our hands dirty and feel the soil and plants as we built our terrariums. I felt very proud of my creation and I would really recommend this experience.
Diane - 9 June 2019
A great two hours, very relaxing and instructive. Both my boys and I loved it! We are now watching over our quietly living terrari-a. The tutor was fun and encouraging. The location unique and a privilege to be in. Huge thanks to the Botanical Brothers and crew!
Sam - 7 June 2019
Interesting workshop and friendly instructor!
Nicola - 3 June 2019
Really lovely workshop held in the Botanical Boys own home which was an amazing oasis. I am not green fingered in anyway but we came away with new skills as well as a gorgeous terrarium!
Priya - 3 June 2019
I booked the class as a surprise birthday present for my partner and it was great - would definitely recommend Adam was a brilliant host and gave a short history behind each of the steps and materials - this made the class more memorable. We felt comfortable throughout the class to ask questions and love that we can take home the outcome - our terrariums!
Katy - 2 June 2019
Adam led this interesting and fun workshop expertly in a beautiful home in Dalston. He talked us through the different stages and we came away with masterpieces! All this along with bubbles and a fab soundtrack. Thanks Botanical Boys.
Natalie - 31 May 2019
We had a great evening with a friendly instructor. Everything was good quality and we love our new terrariums.
Denisa - 26 May 2019
Absolutely wonderful class! very relaxing, satisfying the space is gorgeous and you get to take 3l terrarium home. My class was held by Adam (I am sorry if I got the name wrong) he was very friendly, funny and knowledgable! Excellent! I’ll be taking this class again 👍
Valérie - 25 May 2019
Amazing workshop and excellent customer service!!
Chloe - 22 May 2019
We had no idea what to expect but Prune, myself and 'mum' had such a great time with Adam. Mixing a little bit of history, teaching and fun. All three of us are super happy with our terrariums and we will be recommending these masterclasses to friends and family . Great idea for a birthday present: original, fun and beautiful. Big plus for me is that this terrarium will spark a conversation next time friends come over ;)
Emily - 8 May 2019
Great time making the terrarium - the botanical boys were welcoming, friendly and great teaches! I would highly recommend the course, and my terrarium is looking excellent!
Natasha - 8 May 2019
Fantastic afternoon!
Jess - 7 May 2019
Really great class. My friend and I were the only two which was a nice surprise - lovely teacher, so knowledgeable. We were also given prosecco. Great evening and our terrariums are beautiful.
Adrienn - 7 May 2019
We had such a lovely time with the Botanical Boys. Warm welcome, great atmosphere, delicious bubbly ans so much fun while building your own terrarium. The guys have amazing knowledge about plants and it was great to get to know the history behind the terrariums. Highly recommended and I definitely would love to return either for private or corporate event.
Eleanor - 6 May 2019
We had a wonderful time with the Botanical Boys on Sunday. Not only did we get to make the lovely terrariums, there was also a history lesson, tips on how to look after the terrarium - and prosecco! Highly recommended.
Loretta - 6 May 2019
Brilliant workshop! Really wonderful environment, fantastic friendly team welcoming us and making the whole session very interactive and fun. They were so accommodating with our baby! Would recommend to anyone.
Mya - 3 May 2019
I had such a good time at the Terrarium Masterclass! The boys were so lovely and they gave a really interesting history of terrariums. There was loads of plants and accessories to choose from, and the whole experience was really relaxing and creative. Would definitely recommend!
Kay - 1 May 2019
Absolutely loved this masterclass! Darren was very knowledgeable and explained each process carefully so we could understand. I went home with my amazing terrarium and a full understanding of how to look after it 😀
Sophie - 1 May 2019
Fab workshop as always. Have now had two masterclasses with them and I would highly recommend.
Roxana - 22 April 2019
Such great fun ! Me and my mom had a blast !
Elizabeth - 19 April 2019
Good fun, and came home with a lovely terrarium.
Oliver - 14 April 2019
Really relaxing couple of hours. Learnt a lot about terrariums and their history, and ended up with some great terrariums to bring home. Would recommend!
HAYLEY - 14 April 2019
Botanical Boys. From the moment we walked in the guys were extremely welcoming. We booked the master class, 2 hour session. We had a brief history of how terrariums started which was extremely interesting. With prosecco in one hand and mud in the other, it wasn't your average Saturday but connected us with nature and gardening on a small scale. I can't recommend this enough, i just want to keep making them.
Rachel - 11 April 2019
Absolutely loved the finished product, great to come away with something you've made yourself and to get creative!
Lauren - 7 April 2019
Botanical Boys was the perfect Sunday afternoon activity! We had a great time and the instructors were very friendly!
Renata - 6 April 2019
A lovely afternoon and the outcome was definitely worth it, have already recommended to friends.
William - 5 April 2019
We really enjoyed this class! It was a peaceful way to spend an evening and the Terrariums we produced were lovely to take home.
Anna - 3 April 2019
I had a fantastic class with Darren who was an excellent teacher and explained so much about terrariums (including the history, the various components etc). He was patient and funny, and I really enjoyed the class. The studio is so gorgeous with many other terrariums (I ended up asking to buy one of them and took it home with me!!!). He also very helpfully explained in great detail every part of my terrarium and the proper aftercare. I’ll be spreading the word about this class to everyone. Highly recommend.
Darren - 1 April 2019
Fantastic way to spend a few hours! Set in a lush oasis in East London! Very relaxing and creative experience. Highly enjoyable and would definitely recommend! So so pleased with finished product.
Nishi - 31 March 2019
Wonderful experience. Great teachers, lovely space, very pleased with our creations!
Christina - 26 March 2019
Really great workshop and a perfect way to spend a Sunday!
Ana - 26 March 2019
Was such a great day thankyou!
James - 25 March 2019
A five star experience!!! I had an afternoon right out of the top drawer. Thank you Botanical Boys !
Lexy - 8 March 2019
I absolutely loved this workshop - the hosts were very welcoming and I had a glass of prosecco by my side mere minutes after walking through the door - and the teacher was extremely engaging and informative. I learned more than I had expected to, and the friendly and relaxed atmosphere meant that I got chatting to people around me, so despite coming alone, it was nice and sociable. Super fun, and I love my terrarium! I made 3 more for Christmas presents!
Josh - 11 February 2019
I would highly recommend this course. Darren is fab and see his wonderful work shop in dalston is something out of a movie. With terraniums and plants, you name it growing here there and everywhere in his living room. We went on a friday evening with limited previous knowledge of the plant world and have opened up a door to a fabulous area of wildlife which we wish to explore in more depth. Having had our quick but comprehensive history of the terrabijms we were into the making. With plenty of inspiration around we started to create our eco systems. Great course and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you Darren
Pablo - 9 February 2019
It was a great class and I really enjoyed making my own terrarium. I would only suggest to look at lighting of the studio as was a bit dark for me everything else was fantastic.
Gurprit - 7 February 2019
This was so much fun! The guys were very friendly and informative, the atmosphere was relaxed and the music was very much 80s (which was great). We had everything we needed to get on and make our own terrariums, even had a few little surprises to make our terrariums truly our own. I think I will definitely be doing some more classes
Lauren - 7 February 2019
I was part of a group of three that attended the masterclass as part of my friend's birthday. We had such an amazing time - the class was informative, fun, hands on and exciting! I really liked how the designs were freeform - it was good to create something unique, rather than follow a template, so I felt like I truly created something for myself.
Kathryn - 4 February 2019
Ben and Darren were both fantastic! A wonderful, fun and relaxing class in their beautiful home. Will be strongly recommending to everyone I know, it was so much better than I could have ever expected and my Mother had the best birthday gift experience! Thank you Botanical Boys!
Maxine - 2 February 2019
I’ve never made a terrarium before but I’ve always admired them. Creating one with the botanical boys was the most relaxing and therapeutic thing I’ve ever done. The environment and the music along with the tea & Prosecco really added to the whole experience and made it feel magical. I highly recommend this workshop. You won’t regret it.
Debbie - 1 February 2019
A nice way to be in touch with nature in the middle of your busy city day. Really enjoy making my own terrarium while learning about the history and tips to take care of it. The studio is amazing - surrounded by plants and terrariums, you would forget that you're in London!
Eleanor - 25 January 2019
The class was brilliant in a beautiful location. I really enjoyed putting together my terrarium (and enjoying a glass of fizz) and it now has pride of place in my living room! Thank you!
Sophie - 21 January 2019
What a great workshop! Filled with so much knowledge, history, tips and tricks. Absolutely love the take-home terrarium - can't wait to show it off. Thank you Darren and Ben!
Tim - 16 January 2019
A fantastic and well run workshop! The Botanical Boys run the workshop in a fun and informative way and were very hospitable and friendly. Highly recommended!
Vronsky - 14 January 2019
Brilliant experience within a very personal setting, suitable for the class. Thank you for the education and history lesson as well : ) I will denitley be recommending and also be back!
Serge - 21 December 2018
Great class, insightful - the guys provided interesting history and tips. Fun to experiment with different materials and build something you can keep and watch grow As recommendation I think the particular space (a one off) didn’t work and will definitly do another class with them at their own studio. Also it would be good to show different types of gardens you can make/ emulate as inspiration. Overall highly recommend though and I’ll be coming back!
Kimberly - 20 December 2018
This was an amazing night. I went with my partner and it was great to be creative and relaxed! I am excited to give out terrarium's as Christmas gifts- and I am hoping my partner books us in for another class so I can have one too!
Sarah - 10 December 2018
So therapeutic and I really enjoyed the class.now have a beautiful terrarium in my home
Kasia - 9 December 2018
Really fun and informative workshop - The Botanical Boys are really friendly!
Julia - 9 December 2018
It was a great class, learnt a lot and came out with a fab terrium!! Highly recommend this class
Bex - 6 December 2018
Great evening. Really interesting to hear about the history and theory behind terrariums, and so much fun creating our own. They’re in pride of place at home now. Darren and Ben were super helpful and friendly!
Zain - 6 December 2018
Excellent workshop! Great materials provided - especially liked the glass terrarium.
sabba - 2 December 2018
I loved this class, it was so much fun. We learnt about the history of terraniums and how to make the base layers. Thereafter we had the freedom to make our design using a number of materials supplied that we could choose from. I highly recommend this class!
Stéphanie - 15 November 2018
Such a great atmosphere and wonderful hosts. Really happy with my terrarium and to be able to bring it home with me.
Hannah - 12 November 2018
Lovely class, lovely people! The perfect way to spent a slightly fragile Sunday.

Fullfilling and beautiful workshop in their special home. Beautiful terrariums and we learnt a lot! Thank you very much
Darshan - 1 November 2018
Incredible evening making terrariums, full of laughs and insights and couldn't be happier. Don't miss out!

Super workshop in a cool studio. Botanical Boys are friendly and great teachers. Learnt a lot, and had a lovely gift to take home.
Jenny - 11 October 2018
This class was great, amazing setting to hold such a creative workshop and am delighted with my new terrarium!
Nadia - 4 October 2018
We had a great time making our terrariums with Darren from Botanical Boys. He was very knowledgeable, telling us the history behind them and talking us through each step of making the terrarium. There was a great choice of materials for us to make them unique, and the prosecco was great too! Would highly recommend this class :)
Oyvind - 30 September 2018
Great workshop! So much fun, ended up with a fab terrarium to take home and learned a lot too. We've tried other workshops were everything is very 'measured' - it says's one glass of prosecco, so you get one glass, class finishing on the exact time. But here class overran by 45 minutes because everyone were having so much fun and wanted to take photos etc in the end, everyone got several fill ups on prosecco, no limit on how many plants or items you wanted in your terrarium. Ben and Darren knows a lot about plants, have a lovely home/studio and created a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend the Botanical Boys to anyone who wants to try something new!
Peu - 29 September 2018
Darren & Ben were the perfect hosts, teachers - they have a beautiful studio/home. The class was chilled, educational and the perfect birthday present for my best friend. The quality of the plants, materials + teaching, the amazing terrarium vase you take home with you was way beyond expectations!
Marley - 29 September 2018
Great session! Going again for sure!
Kavita - 26 September 2018
We had a really great time at this class. Ben and Darren were lovely and made the experience fantastic - great hosts and lots of knowledge. I would definitely recommend doing this class and will be booking again!

I was happy with the terrarium we created during the workshop, and overall it was a good experience. I would have liked things to kick off a bit more quickly, though, with less of an introduction of the history of the workshop/brand, and also had a bit more conversation at the end about other techniques for making terrariums/materials and ideas for doing them at home.

Darren and Ben were great. We loved the history lesson and the teaching. Taking home our terrarium we had huge smiles on our faces. Thanks Botanical boys!

what a relaxing experience!
Louise - 2 September 2018
Loved that we learnt some history and background to terrarium making and that little skill is needed to achieve something. I’m inspired to keep doing it and will 100% recommend the class to others + it’s perfect for a corporate activity. Really great class!

Darren was a gorgeous host with lot of experience! I can absolutely recommend this course to everybody who is interested in plants and terrarium! Very professional course in a lovely location.

Darren and Ben were so friendly and welcoming into their beautifully decorated flat in east London. Darren was so knowledgeable and extremely patient when guiding us through the steps. I am not typically a creative person but I found it really inspiring and actually left with a terrarium I was proud of. Would strongly recommend going as it really was a relaxing and enjoyable couple of hours with endless glasses of prosecco and a terrarium that you get to take home, what more could you want!!

This was beautiful one life experience workshop! Very welcoming and very good mentor Darren and Ben. Defenitely doing one again in mid August and Christmas
Muresan - 3 August 2018
I really enjoyed the workshop. It was two hours of inner stillness, creativity, life and also great pieces of information regarding Terrariums. Loved it.
Riccardo - 1 August 2018
Had a thoroughly good time. Really liked that once you were taught the basics and shown what to do, the guys gave you plenty of time to do your own thing. Also amazing that a room of strangers felt like friends by the time I left.
Laura - 10 July 2018
I can thoroughly recommend this workshop - the venue is amazing (what décor!) and you are offered so much help and guidance to make a beautiful terrarium. The time was very calm and relaxing - I left feeling very zen!
Suzie - 9 July 2018
We had a magnificent time at the workshop. I was really worried that I wouldn't be any "good", but we were led through the process and came away with terrariums that we love. Very therapeutic!
Karen - 2 July 2018
I had a great time and learnt loads about terrariums, I’m super keen to go again and I would recommend it to everyone
Janine - 13 June 2018
What a fantastic way to spend a few hours. The Botanical Boys were excellent hosts welcoming us into their home. Some people may feel uncomfortable with this but for us this made the experience more personal and relaxed . Being in a small group meant that there was great opportunity for interaction between the boys and guests. It was educational, fun and very therapeutic and best of all we came away with our own terrarium creations. No previous experience or creative talent required just go with the flow. This was booked as a birthday surprise. I’m definitely going again with my friends as my enthusing has been contagious. I highly recommend the Botanical Boys experience.
Georgina - 10 June 2018
Amazing workshop in a gorgeous setting. I had so much fun whilst learning loads about plants and drinking prosecco....what’s not to LOVE! would throughly recommend this class to anyone. So excited to have a self sufficient jar of nature coming home to live with me for years to come!

A wonderful relaxing afternoon with the botanical boys! Would highly recommend.
Ryan - 11 May 2018
I could not have picked a better class as my first Obby booking. Darren and Ben are exceptional; so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The entire experience was fun, educational, relaxing, artistic, creative; we loved every second of it! Highly, highly recommended; I'm telling everyone about it!
Diana - 10 May 2018
The terrariums workshop was really enjoyable. Darren gave us a lot of information about the history and the techniques around terrariums. The space was beautiful and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Would recommend to anyone wanting to disconnect from the rush of everyday life!
Jack - 7 May 2018
The Terrarium making class was excellent. Darren and Ben were great fun and we really learnt a lot. I would highly recommend the class to anyone, and the product we came away with looks great in our home.
Hattie - 5 May 2018
SO MUCH FUN! This was our first obby experience and what a great one it was - it was informative, friendly, fun, and we came away with sonething which will hopefully last a good long time. Just the two of us in the class, and Darren and Ben were fab. Loved it and would fully recommend - even my boyfriend, who is not normally the creative type, said it was the best Friday night he’d had in years!
Laura - 2 May 2018
Amazing! I had a really good time and left with a beautiful terrarium. Defiantly worth a visit.
Guy - 30 April 2018
This workshop was wonderful. The boys are very welcoming and the class itself is both informative and enjoyable. The quality of the materials provided was also very good. We found the experience incredibly relaxing and loved having our terrariums to take home at the end of it. Thoroughly recommend.
Adeline - 30 April 2018
This was such an educational and therapeutic session. I learnt so much and it was such a relaxed atmosphere creating, planting and sipping prosecco! Can’t wait to do another!
Dani - 19 April 2018
Really fun class and good selection of materials!
J - 28 March 2018
So friendly and helpful! I had a great time and brought away a beautiful terrarium
Heloise - 27 March 2018
Absolutely amazing evening! The guys were so informative, fun and friendly and let us bombard them with plant related questions. Have recommended this workshop to everyone who will listen to me!!!
Louise - 27 March 2018
We had a fantastic evening with the Botanical Boys learning about and building our own terrariums. Amazing working space with so much inspiration from the terrariums around the room and expert advice from the boys. Loved it and think everyone should try it, it's so relaxing and you have a beautiful unique ecosystem at the end. Thank you boys :)
Emma - 17 March 2018
This was a great way to spend a Friday evening. We not only got to build terrariums, but were also taught how to do it ourselves in the future. I'd definitely do more events with the Botanical Boys in the future 🙂
Catherine - 5 February 2018
Really fun afternoon and a bautiful terrarium to take home!
Izzie - 30 January 2018
I can't recommend this class enough. I'm a big obby fan and I have been to some great classes, but this has by far been my favourite experience. My sister and I were lucky enough to be the only ones in our session, and Darren and Ben made us feel so welcome in their studio. Darren's excellent reaching gave us the perfect amount of knowledge to confidently build a really unique terrarium each. There was a huge variety of materials for us to work with and we were told all about the fascinating history of the art of terrarium making. The prosecco was also a wonderful touch! The Eco-system jar we came away with was absolutely beautiful, I've already received so many compliments on it. Will definitely be creating some more! Thank you Botanical Boys!
Alexia - 23 January 2018
I gave this to someone as a Christmas present and had a great time making two lovely Terrariums. It was very informational but also relaxing and we were very well received by the Botanical Boys, I would definitely recommend this.
Tracy - 3 December 2017
It’s not every class that lets you create your very own world! I loved every second of this class. Darren and Ben were very welcoming and told us just enough about the history of terrariums and gave lots of inspiration on how to create our own. My jar is thriving and I’ve been telling everyone how much I loved this.
Jude - 30 November 2017
Such a great way to spend a cold winter’s evening! The Botancial boys were perfect hosts and very knowledgable. Lots of great materials were made available and the prosecco was the perfect touch! Will definitely be signing up again!
Iolanda - 30 November 2017
I absolutely loved this class! It was a lot of fun and really therapeutic, and my terrarium came out absolutely awesome! The guys are very knowledgeable and the space they use for the workshop is gorgeous, it looks like a greenhouse! I'll definitely do one of their other classes :)
