DIY Terrarium Kits & Terrarium Gifts

Build your own tiny green world with one of our DIY terrarium kits, complete with real live moss and everything you need to get started.

From miniature mossariums to cork-lid closed terrariums, each kit is put together by hand in Bristol using carefully selected moss and simple natural materials.

What's included in a terrarium kit?

Every kit contains a glass container, live moss, substrate layers (drainage material and sphagnum moss), and simple assembly instructions. Some kits offer add-ons like a brass frog ornament or a USB mini mister.

Do I need any gardening experience?

No — these kits are designed for complete beginners. Assembly typically takes 15–20 minutes and requires no special tools.

How long does a terrarium last?

A well-assembled closed terrarium with live moss can last for years with minimal care, since the enclosed environment recycles its own moisture. An open terrarium requires more care and attention to ensure adequate humidity.

Which kit should I choose?

Micro kits suit small desks and shelves. Cork-lid and moss jar kits make a lovely well-considered gift or display piece. The DIY Starter Kit is best if you already have your own jar or container.

They're easy to make, rather satisfying to look after, and no two finished terrariums ever turn out quite the same.
