Build Your Own Terrarium Workshop at Harewood House
Carmel Smickersgill, Tours & Activities Editor
Terrariums are an excellent addition to any home and Harewood House is once again teaming up with York Terrariums to help you create and curate your very own self regulating environment in a relaxed and informative Terrarium making workshop.
The session begins with a warm welcome and learning about the history of terrariums, where they came from, how they work and why they’re a reliable microcosm for a first time plant owner to start with. You’ll also hear why activated charcoal has become a key ingredient in maintaining the tiny ecosystems.
After a quick demonstration, each person will have the chance to create their own terrarium – choosing which plants to include and deciding how to arrange them to best suit their needs. Once complete, you’ll be given advice and guidance on how to look after your terrarium as well as a bag to help carry it home it.
Everything is included within the ticket price, all the materials you’ll need to build a terrarium from plants to pebbles and moss. Terrariums are a fun and easy way to develop your green fingers, perfect for beginners but also rewarding for the Monty Dons amongst you.
