How the Terrarium Bar works

Make your own beautiful creation at our terrarium bar. Choose from glass vessels of all shapes and sizes, add substrate, plants and miniature figures.

Steps to using the Terrarium Bar at Botanista
Step 1: choose your container from our glass terrarium bowls
Step 2: your base cost covers gravel, moss, soil and decorative pebbles
Step 3: choose your plants, from small indoor plants, air plants or succulents
Step 4: put it all together at the bar
All finished: your final cost is your glassware, base cost, plants and any extras

The Terrarium Bar is always open during our regular opening hours. Unless you have a small group, or tight schedule, there is no need to book a place at the terrarium bar.

The Bar fits about five adults at a time, or about six children. At the Terrarium Bar you make it yourself, with premium products and materials all in one space. Staff are always there to assist, but you are the creator! You can make a terrarium, fairy garden, or plant arrangement, you are only limited by your imagination.

We welcome all ages, young and old! The bar can be a bit high for very young children, even with a stepping stool. As such, we do ask that under 6s are supervised and helped by their adult at all times.

How much does it cost?

Cost of using the Terrarium Bar depends on what materials you use. Essentially it is a pay as you go system. There are 3 main costs to consider: the cost of your terrarium vessel (starting at $10), the base materials cost (ranging from $4.00-$10 depending on container size) and the cost of your plants (generally $8.50 each). The average spend at the Terrarium Bar is $50 but a small terrarium can cost around $20 and a large size upwards of around $70.
