Connecting people to nature
Corporate & private workshops
A little nature, made by hand.

Why teams book us
Step into a mindful sanctuary where every detail matters — then take a piece of it back to your desk.
Calm, made by hand
Working with plants lowers stress and lifts mood. An afternoon with soil and moss is a genuine reset — not another meeting with snacks.
Everyone leaves with life
Each guest plants a terrarium to take home, with aftercare tips to keep it thriving — a quiet reminder of the day, months on.
We host you, or come to you
Gather at our studio in Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross, or we bring the whole workshop — tools, plants and calm — to your venue.
The terrarium builds
Choose your vessel
Every terrarium class runs 1hr45–2hrs and flexes to your programme. It opens with a short history of terrariums, then a hands-on build, and closes with aftercare so your garden lasts for years. Pick the vessel that suits your group.

The Moss Mushroom Bar
Not every event wants everyone seated for two hours. For drinks receptions, launches and parties, we run a rolling series of quick, hands-on builds while the rest of the room mingles at the bar.
Groups of eight step up to the making table for 15 minutes, fill a glass mushroom with real preserved moss and stone or bark, then hand over to the next group, finished piece in hand. It keeps the room moving and the conversation flowing, and every guest leaves with something they made.

The wine, with a story
Blaauwklippen, Stellenbosch
We pour wines from Blaauwklippen — one of the oldest wine estates in Stellenbosch, its cellars built in 1707. The connection is personal: in 1690 the farm was bought by Willem Nel, an ancestor of our co-founder Ben, and the Nel family farmed it until it was sold around 1720.
Add a guided tasting to any workshop, or build a Sip & Plant pot layered to three wines poured in 50ml servings. Guests can take bottles home at cellar pricing.
