Create your own living terrarium in a guided, 2-hour workshop in Sofia. You will learn how a closed mini ecosystem works, assemble a balanced composition with curated plants, and leave with a unique natural accent for your home or workspace.

What is a terrarium
A terrarium is more than decor—it’s a living, self-sustaining ecosystem. Inside the glass, plants breathe, moisture evaporates, condenses on the walls, and returns to the soil to reach the roots. This closed water cycle maintains balance and lets the plants thrive with minimal care.

Why bring one into your home or office

• Low maintenance: internal moisture recirculates, so no frequent watering.
• Practical for busy schedules or if standard potted plants are a challenge.
• Saves time and water while adding freshness and natural beauty.
• Elevates interiors with a small, living world that brings calm and balance.

How the workshop runs (around 2 hours)
We start with the principles of a sustainable terrarium—how the closed ecosystem works and what keeps it in balance—then move to practice:

• Layering: drainage, substrate, and vessel preparation.
• Selecting suitable plants and combining them harmoniously.
• Composition, placement, and finishing touches for stability and aesthetics.
• Key dependencies: balancing soil, moisture, and light for long-term growth.
• Clear guidance for observing and caring for your terrarium after you take it home.

Your instructor
The class is led by Mikhail Balabanov, founder of Blomma Terrariums, with deep dedication to plant life and extensive experience in building sustainable glass ecosystems. Under his guidance, science and aesthetics meet in a complete natural microcosm—built by you.
