Terrarium Masterclass

Good experience

Made a terrarium a with the botanical boys a few years back and had an amazing experience. Took my partner to King’s Cross for the same experience but it just wasn’t the same at all. There was no real care and 1:1 feedback on the terrarium like there was when I first went. The workshop was just being taught from the front of the room, no going around to check if everybody was building their terrarium well, making sure it wasn’t overcrowded, checking that plants were planted deep enough etc and as a teacher, this was very evident, just expected a little more 1:1 feedback, doesn’t have to last long, less than a minute. My partners terrarium started moulding a few days after taking it home and was advised to bring it back to the workshop. They didn’t advise what they were going to do, had to chase it up after they didn’t contact us about it for a month, was then told it was ready to pick up (literally nothing else) one week later, was sent another email asking when we were going to pick it up because they needed the storage space (a little cheeky considering they had it for 1 month with no communication) when my partner went to pick it up, it was a completely different terrarium which would’ve been fine if initially they had advised that it needed to be rebuilt because of the moisture but they didn’t ask him for any input as to how he would’ve wanted it to look - he wouldn’t have been bothered about how it look but it’s nice to be asked, to have autonomy over something that you paid for. It’s a shame because I really enjoyed this when I did it before lockdown when the BB were still working in Hackney. Now that they’re bigger, the customer service and quality of workshop has gone down. It’s all about up selling wine from South Africa, telling an abstract story about a butterfly/how terrariums came to England and mentioning the awards/prizes they’ve won. Such a shame.

A brilliant workshop! Would definitely recommend, our class lead was so knowledgeable and started with some interesting history of the terrarium before we went ahead with the building. Each step was well explained and well paced and so enjoyable! Left with a beautiful terrarium :) amazing ⭐

Lovely experience building your own custom Terrarium!

Very good history on terrariums. Great fun making one. Looks great and I added the secret ingredient...... Will be returning again.

My daughter bought this experience for me as a present. I cannot express the sheer joy of this class. Michael was funny, informative, self deprecating and definitely the perfect person to lead the terrarium masterclass. Will definitely do another class. Thank you for the pen and succulent. Much appreciated. Jungle lady. X

Very enjoyable date activity

Great workshop. Very pleased with my terrarium!

Incredble experiencie of this workshop.

I got the terrarium class for a present. The shop is beautiful and gives you ideas of what you want to make. Brilliant and informative class. Thank you.

A really great experience. Welcoming, well-organised, informative, playful, and the results are truly beautiful.

Amazing class!! So informative and fun, and the terrariums look stunning! Thank you so much :)

Excellent day out, we we're made to feel really welcome, the team are super passionate and great educators

Had a fab time deffo a good gift for a partners birthday

We had such a lovely afternoon at the terrarium masterclass! It was a mindful, sensory experience as well as a history lesson and creative workshop! Our teacher (the lovely North Welsh man, sorry I can’t remember his name!) was professional and helpful without being overbearing, which created a really nice atmosphere. Thank you!

Highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to get creative, unwind, and take home a lovely piece of nature!

Had the best time at the masterclass. Was a lovely relaxing day out with my mum, learning all about terrariums while sipping Prosecco. Tian was lovely and made sure everyone knew what they were doing. We came away with two beautiful terrariums. Loved the little surprise at the end. Would definitely recommend.

A really enjoyable experience with a friendly group and instructor.

Great worksho

I wasn't sure how much we'd enjoy this, but my wife and I were really pleased with the terrarium we created, and had a lot of fun doing so. The instruction was clear, with just the right amount of direction, and some education thrown in. The people with the drinks package seemed to have even more fun, and appeared equally happy with the result...

We had a very good time with Mike{ginger} who was very helpful and knowledgeable. The session was very joyful and interesting with the little game what we played in the meantime. Best part was to created something and learned a lot from it's origin too. Thank you for the great experience.

The masterclass was brilliant! Michael was a superb host and teacher with a great sense of humour which really boosted the experience. The shop is great with lots of inspiration and other cool items - a few of which we bought on the day. We had a great time and would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about taking a class. The location is great too - first time at Coal Drops Yard - we will be back and be sure to visit the shop!

Had a great time learning how to build and look after a terrarium with Michael, he was very knowledgable and was able to patiently talk us through each stage. Really enjoyed the session and would recommend!

Lovely workshop! It was so great to learn about the history of Terrariums, understand why each step has to take place when building your own little ecosystem and doing the fun interactive quiz at the end. Our teacher/workshop leader ginger Mike was very funny and definitely helped us all loosen up during the session and got us comfortable learning and chatting to our neighbours too. His song choices throughout the session were great too!

I had a fantastic time at Botanical Boys! This experience is perfect for a fun outing or a unique date. Not only was the activity itself enjoyable, but being able to take home our own terrariums was wonderful. I highly recommend Botanical Boys and will definitely be returning soon!

I want to thank you for accommodating my son 11th birthday celebration with terrarium workshop on 01/06/2024. The boys really enjoyed it and Tiernan the host was very nice. They learned a lot and very happy with their creations!

Amazing workshop - highly recommend! Very engaging and entertaining instructor (Michael). Great to get in touch with nature and create something what you can take home and care for :-))

Excellent class with really engaging staff! Can’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic class! Thoroughly enjoyed! Will be coming back to do the wreath class at Christmas.

We had a lovely time making our terrarium and found the course very informative. I have recommended it to my friends

This class was great fun, well explained, all materials supplied and easy to follow and great to take your own terrarium home at the end of it all, highly recommended

Staff very welcoming. The workshop was at a good pace and informative. Really enjoyed it, would recommend.

We absolutely loved this class, and the terrariums we left with. Very informative, educational, and novel. We can't wait to see our terrariums thrive.

We had a very fun and engaging session. Turned out to be a great birthday present.

We had a fantastic time at the masterclass, the team couldn’t have been more helpful and gave us a brilliant afternoon.

There isn't much to say beyond the fact that it was fun, wholesome and informative! If you're considering having a terrarium I would definitely recommend going through this experience!

We had a wonderful whimsical time making a terrarium that feels like a part of my houseplant family already! Big big thank you to Ginger 🫚 Michael for making it a fun, interactive and wholesome experience! If you’re a fan of moss (like I am!) definitely get your paws 🐾 grubby and sign up for a terrarium building sesh

Very fun and interesting experience

This class was such a blast and I wasn't expecting to receive such a wonderful history lesson about the terrarium either! Louie was so fun, charismatic, and knowledgeable. You can tell that he's truly passionate about botany and it really showed through his thoughtful teachings. He really made the class for me and created such a fun experience for us!

We had a great time. Beautiful plants, knowledgeable guide (Louis) and good drinks. A fun time

Had an amazing time. Our host was lovey and we would definitely come back!

I joined a workshop with Michael - who made the session fun and interesting and even helped achieve the look I was after from the pics I had shown of various plants so I would give 5 STARS for his fun workshop I loved the ambience at Botanical boys - I gave an overall 4 star because I found the sessions a little too pricey but it was for a special occasion so I was willing to pay!

It has been a great experience and the tutor was great, funny and available to help. Also the whole history part was really interesting. I’m really happy about the final result and my terrarium

What a fantastic masterclass with Michael. It was perfectly balanced between fun, learning and creativity. There was a great array of raw materials/plants to work with and loved being able to create a very unique and beautiful terrarium. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend spending a couple of hours at a Botanical Boys workshop. Love my terrarium!! Thanks for a great afternoon.

Had such a great time at our Masterclass! Our teacher was super knowledgeable and really patient. We're so happy with our terrariums & will absolutely recommend this experience!

I was watching the BBC interiors programme with Alan Carr where contestants had to make over a shop. And one week was a shop that sold Terrarium's. Before this I had never heard of them. I received a gift voucher for the Botanical Boys for my birthday and went along to a workshop. I was very impressed by the knowledge of the guy who lead the workshop and also impressed myself by building my own Terrarium. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend anyone to attend a workshop.

It’s shame cannot leave photos here, otherwise you will see how amazing workshop it was.

A great workshop, highly reccommend!

Absolutely fantastic session. The tutor was exceedingly knowledgeable and gave a great masterclass. My terrarium is lovely and I am now looking forward to making many more of them!

Brilliant class. Lots of exciting and useful information. And terrarium looks amazing

Got the ticket as a birthday present and wasn't too sure what to expect. I am happy to report I had a brilliant time and learnt quite a bit about terrariums and surprising things about bun moss! I am now tackling a new terrarium project at home - thank you!

Bought the Masterclass as a birthday present for my boyfriend. We had the best day, learning not only how to make a Terrarium but also the history of them. Darren was an amazing tutor! Hope to return in the future.

Great fun and interactive activity. Loved getting stuck in and being able to come home with something to remember the day with

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.

Amazing experience and Ginger Michael was a great host which made the session even more enjoyable. Me and my husband love our new terrarium, and would definitely recommend this to our friends.

A fantastic and fun afternoon learning to build a terrarium! Darren was a fantastic teacher. Highly recommend!

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 :)

Great experience and very engaging instructor, Michael. Great to take away the terrarium at the end!

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.

Really great 2 hours. Fun but also taught me a lot. Terrarium in pride of place.

Loved it!! Very informative and interesting course, friendly and fun, would highly recommend 😊

I enjoy the class a lot. The quiz interaction was fun.

Had a wonderful time, thank you!

A most enjoyable experience. I am very likely yo do it again - very mich in love with our terrarium.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

Such a fun and informative experience. Would highly recommend doing with with friends, partners, or family.

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

Great workshop, engaging instructor that made it really easy and fun at the same time. Highly recommend it!

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!

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.

An excellent afternoon, educational, funny, but most of all therapeutic 😍

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.

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.

Great activity. Learned a lot and really friendly helpful staff. Lovely environment and great price for the workshop.

Loved the experience will be back x well conducted on attention to detail on academic & social skills of host.

I took my 12 year old as his birthday present and it was a really nice activity to do. The person doing the class was really engaging and informative.

Really fun time! Ginger Michael was very engaging and helpful

We had a fantastic time! Very well planned, the tutors were great. The venue and setup was perfect and easy to find. Highly recommended for couples and friends, or even small groups

The terrarium making workshop was a great way to spend the afternoon - we got to get our hands dirty, met nice people, learned a little and came away with a beautiful terrarium. Thanks for hosting us!

Such a fun class and beautiful terrarium. Worth every penny and great for anyone. Already thinking who I can buy this for

Great class with beautiful looking terrariums; ginger Michael is such a fun and knowledgeable host! I learnt so much and had a great time (both times I’ve been)!!

I purchased this workshop last minute and I’m so pleased I did, as I had a fantastic time. It was great to do something different, learn something new and have a beautiful terrarium to take home as well.

The terrarium masterclass was so much fun! The staff really made the experience special, they were highly entertaining and attentive. We left with a beautiful terrarium and tons of new knowledge! Highly recommend!

Very well run workshop. Super informative. Instructors were super nice and helpful. Highly recommend

Reply fun class where you can get creative and learn about terrariums. Thanks ginger Mike!

Very fun experience with lots of history and knowledge behind it all. Michael was an excellent host and knows how to make for an entertaining class.

Had a really great time. Really funny and informative as well as coming home with a wonderful terrarium

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.

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.

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.

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!

I had a fantastic time building the terrarium, looks amazing at home, thank you for all the efforts making this a memorable experience.

Was a really lovely activity, great information given and loved the amazing Terrarium now growing in my lounge x

Great experience. Learnt lots of interesting information about terrarium's and came away with a lovely one of my own (which is still alive!). Would not hesitate to recommend this experience to people who enjoy keeping house plants and want to try something a bit different.

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!

We really enjoyed the master class!

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.

Can’t recommend more!

Very enjoyable workshop and I am delighted with the final product

Thoroughly enjoyed the Masterclass with Ginger Michael. Fun, engaging , informative and satisfying. Thank you to all involved. Will spread the word to all we know how worthwhile it is to participate.

Loved it and took home a lovely terranium. Id like to be in the store instead of the Samsung if i did it again.

Awesome workshop, and you get to take home something that will last a long time!

Great session. I really enjoyed the history/ background of terrariums. The process itself was brilliant. Will definitely do the class again.

Amazing terrarium making class, and great guide running the workshop. Had such an amazing afternoon!

Such a great workshop, the guy leading the class was so funny and engaging! Would absolutely recommend to family and friends.

Amazing experience and the lovely man who took the session was very funny!!

A very wholesome way to spend a Saturday. The team were great and I would highly recommend this to anyone! Can’t wait to go back.

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.

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!

It was such a fun workshop!

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 :)

An enjoyable and immersive workshop, highly recommend

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

Great workshop, really enjoyed. Great date idea. Very informative.

A very uplifting workshop! And a beautiful decoration as a result

Amazing experience

Such a lovely couple of hours making a gorgeous terrarium and learning about them.

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!

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 .

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!

We loved it. Such good fun and some great skills learnt. Would definitely do it again.

Great fun informative session- make sure you bring a bag to take it home with you though!

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.

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 ++

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

Lovely class! Leaning plant knowledge and got a beautiful plant glass at home!

We loved making a terrarium for our wedding anniversary.

Went with my boyfriend and we absolutely loved it. The class was so fun and informative and we came away with 2 beautiful terrariums. Shout out to Michael for being an amazing instructor

Loved the venue, instructor, setting and finished product. Would highly reccomend, I’d even do the class again myself!

Amazing experience and it was very exciting

Excellent workshop experience and terrarium to take away. fully met expectations.

Amazing event! Very engaging, great location and the terrariums were gorgeous!

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.

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 :)

Wonderful experience! Definitely worth the price! Michael is very knowledgeable and a great host! We love our terrarium!

Louis and company were very professional all the time, easy to approach and sharing interesting facts about terrariums. It was a lovely workshop.

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 :-)

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.

Found the terrarium masterclass informative and practical with a great end product to take home.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great Workshop ! Highly recommended if interested in Terrariums and how to make them. The experience was funny and it flows quite smoothly. Thanks GingerMichael!!

Such a fantastic experience, and the host - Darren, was super informative and engaging! Definitely recommend :)

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.

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!!

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!

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 ❤️

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Great course covering all you need to know about planting a terrarium with hands on advice and support during the class.

Well organised and super fun! Highly recommended

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.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the class, it was informative as well as practical. Thank you

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

I had a lot of fun, a very good experience. Thanx

Really fun afternoon. Professional and funny host. Would recommend to friends and colleagues.

Amazing experience! Terrarium still alive :)

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!!

Really informative, social and fun class! Darren really knows his stuff and creates a really good atmosphere!

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.

Good fun.

It was nice.

We had a fantastic time at the terrarium masterclass! It was great fun and our host was brilliant. Definitely recommend!

What a fantastic experience !!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Ginger Michael is a G……. Is amazing

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!

Really great class. Lots of fun and I got a cool Terrarium afterwards. Ginger Michelle was an excellent host.

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

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!

An afternoon well-spent. Solid and accessible introduction to building and maintaining a terrarium, with a welcoming atmosphere!

Had a really fantastic time, the chap who hosted us was a lot of fun, the terrariums are beautiful and also fun to make - highly recommended!

We had the best Sunday making a beautiful terrarium and learnt so much! Thank you to our tutor Michael (Ginger Michael!) who made it such a fun experience for us! Definitely recommend Botanical Boys for your next workshop! X

Was a brilliant class run by ginger Michael (I’m sure that was his name!) he was engaging, calming and interesting and we had a great day. Love our terrariums!

Great day with a brilliant mix of information and creation.

Amazing time!

Our instructor - think his name was John (Juan) - was great! Had so much fun and we were super happy with our terrariums! Would recommend for sure!

We loved it! Our terrarium plant is great! It was my birthday gift and was the best one! Michael was amaaazing host, definitely recommended 🤩🌱☘️

Amazing day and learnt loads- great vibe and beautiful terrarium to take home. Would recommend to anyone either as a treat yourself or couples day out

Did the terrarium making class with Botanical Boys and it was great! Definitely recommended as a fun activity to do with a friend or by yourself.

This was a Christmas gift, and was brilliant! Really enjoyed the session, great friendly atmosphere, and very proud of my awesome new terrarium! Would definitely recommend!

Mike was very engaging and knowledgeable - both my partner and I came out from the workshop having learned quite a bit as well as created a beautiful terrarium together!

Had so much fun building our terrarium. It's a great creative activity in a very nice atmosphère.

Great valentines workshop, host was very interactive and gave a bit of interesting history lesson around terrariums. Class was very big with 20+ people which was surprising as pictures showed as if it was between 10 or less.

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

Lovely workshop, loved the history & the making of the terrarium. Great gift idea or going with friends. Would go again if I had space for more terrariums!

Such an enjoyable workshop. So informative, interesting and fun. Would totally recommend and would definitely go again.

Really enjoyable interactive learning but creative experience! The host was fantastic with great energy, comedy and the whole class set at perfect time length. Would recommend to solo couples and groups! LOVE our terrariums too 😍 thank you

Love love loved this experience! A really lovely mindful afternoon. If you are thinking about booking this do it now! Darren was fabulous am thinking about booking another one!

What a fantastic workshop, the two hours flew past. Darren who led the session is very knowledgeable and personable - we had a really enjoyable afternoon and would highly recommend.

Excellent class in a beautiful space. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely FANTASTIC time with the team from Botanical Boys. Would highly recommend joining them to build a beautiful terrarium.

Such a wonderful activity for a Sunday afternoon. Informative, clear and of course - fun! Darren was amazing and put us all at ease. Delighted with my terrarium! Thanks guys

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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%.

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!
