Our Approach
Designed with plants and materials in mind.
Each terrarium is assembled by hand, with vessel, hardscape and plant choices considered together. Plant compatibility, intended placement and care needs guide the composition.
Handcrafted
Every composition is built by hand.
Considered materials
Glass, stone, substrate and wood are selected to suit each composition.
Care Guidance
Care guidance, included.
Every creation comes with guidance on lighting, watering, ventilation where required and ongoing maintenance. Care needs vary by plant and vessel, so follow the instructions for your piece.
The Making
From selection to finish.
A clear, hands-on process brings the vessel, materials and plants together.
01
Select
Glass, stone, wood, moss and plants are chosen for balance.
02
Compose
Hardscape forms the foundation of each landscape.
03
Plant
Each plant is positioned by hand for proportion and growth.
04
Finish
We check placement, moisture and airflow needs before the piece is ready.
Placement
Consider the space around it.
Homes, offices, reception areas and other settings can all suit a terrarium. Vessel size, available light and the care needs of the selected plants help guide placement.
Homes
Choose a format and scale that works with the available light and surface.
Offices
Consider a compact planted composition for a desk or shared space.
Gifts
