Foundation & Ecosystem Logic
We begin by reframing the craft—this isn't a gardening class; it’s planetary engineering. You’ll learn the history of the "mini-Earth" concept and set up your base drainage layers to support long-term water and gas cycles.
Soil Science & Hydration
Using our signature "pre-hydration" method, you’ll mix specialized moisture-control soil, activated carbon, and sphagnum moss. This critical step kickstarts the ecosystem immediately, ensuring your jar is perfectly balanced for years of survival.
Landscape & Planting
This is the creative heart of the workshop. You’ll design your topography, professionally prep your tropical plants to protect against pests, and layer in live moss. You’ll learn how to create depth and perspective like a pro.
Artistry & Long-Term Care
We finish with the "flow state" details—adding decorative paths, figurines, and fairy lights. Finally, we cover the secrets of "zero-maintenance" care, name your world, and celebrate its "birthday" with a group show-and-tell.
In-Person Experience
This is an in-person workshop. No shipping required—all materials are provided at the venue.
