Family Terrarium Workshop at Carlton Towers

Family Terrarium Workshop with TerrariumsDIY

Set in the idyllic Cooks Kitchen of Carlton Towers, this experience is a fantastic way to try a new craft as a family.

Turn a 2L cookie jar into a thriving ecosystem - That you only have to water once a year!

“We will guide you through creating your terrarium, explaining why we are adding each ingredient, step by step. After the base is created, you get to plant your terrarium with an array of tropical plants, from colourful to Jurassic! Then, add your decorations and really make it your own! We will bring a variety of coloured stones, pebbles, driftwood, pinecones, shells, rocks and even some small plastic figurines such as Dinosaurs and Zoo animals. This sized terrarium is perfect for any beginners, or younger terrarium artists, as all hands can fit easily in the top of the jar.”
