Join the Bridgewater Gardening Advice Team as they explore the world of tiny terrariums.
Bring Your Own Terrarium: A beginner‑friendly workshop where we explore the tiny, tranquil and truly transformative world of terrariums.
Be sure to bring a medium to large clear glass container you love, and join Clare and Andy, our RHS Gardening Advice Gurus, to enjoy hands‑on planting, and micro‑gardening mastery with terrarium tips and techniques to help your marvellous miniature landscape thrive.
