Dried Flower Terrarium Workshop at the Admiral Hardy, Greenwich

Description

Join us for a beautifully relaxed dried flower terrarium workshop at the Admiral Hardy in Greenwich, where creativity, nature and mindful making come together. This hands-on experience invites you to slow down, connect with natural materials, and create a timeless botanical piece to take home. Hosted in the warm and welcoming surroundings of this much-loved Greenwich venue, this workshop is designed for adults who want to enjoy an immersive creative escape. At the start of the session, you’ll be gently introduced to how our flowers are dried and preserved. Many of the blooms used in this dried flower terrarium workshop are grown on our family farm in Suffolk, carefully harvested at their peak and dried slowly to retain their colour, shape and character. These preserved flowers are then brought to London for our workshops, allowing you to work with botanicals that are thoughtfully grown, prepared and designed to last. This dried flower terrarium workshop centres around designing and building your own botanical display beneath a delicate glass dome, using carefully curated dried flowers, foliage and natural textures. Whether you attend solo, with a friend, or as part of a small group, this terrarium workshop offers a calm and inspiring atmosphere that feels both sociable and restorative. During the session, you’ll be guided step by step through the full process of composition and construction in this terrarium making class. You’ll learn how to layer materials for balance and depth, how to work with colour and form, and how to create a design that feels harmonious and intentional. Each glass dome becomes a miniature landscape — a preserved moment of nature that lasts far beyond the day. No prior experience is needed. This dried flower terrarium workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with a creative background who are keen to try something new. Our approach is gentle and encouraging, allowing you to explore your own style while receiving expert guidance throughout the terrarium workshop. The focus is on enjoyment, creativity and confidence rather than perfection. All materials are provided, including a wide selection of dried flowers and foliage chosen for their colour, texture and longevity. You’ll be shown how to select and arrange elements so they sit beautifully within the glass dome, creating a finished piece that feels elegant and thoughtfully composed. By the end of this terrarium making class, you’ll leave with a unique botanical design and the knowledge to care for it at home. The Admiral Hardy in Greenwich provides the perfect backdrop for this dried flower terrarium workshop, offering a relaxed, informal setting where guests can unwind, chat and enjoy the process. Drinks can be purchased from the bar, making this terrarium workshop an ideal evening activity or creative treat with friends. This terrarium making class is about more than learning a technique — it’s about slowing down, working with your hands, and reconnecting with nature in a meaningful way. The finished glass dome makes a beautiful interior feature or thoughtful gift, capturing the charm of dried flowers in a contemporary form. If you’re looking for a creative experience that feels accessible, calming and rewarding, this dried flower terrarium workshop at the Admiral Hardy in Greenwich offers a perfect blend of skill-building and relaxation. Step away from the everyday and enjoy a carefully guided terrarium workshop that leaves you inspired long after you return home.
