When designing a terrarium or garden, you can expect a creative and personalized process that transforms your vision into a beautiful, thriving space. Here’s what to anticipate:

  1. Consultation: The design process begins with a conversation to understand your preferences, style, and space. We’ll discuss the types of plants you love, the ambiance you’re hoping to create, and the conditions of your environment (light, humidity, etc.).
  2. Concept Development: Based on your input, we’ll develop a concept that aligns with your vision. This includes choosing a theme (such as tropical, desert, or minimalist) and selecting plants that will thrive in the specific environment of your terrarium or garden.
  3. Container or Layout Selection: For terrariums, we’ll choose the perfect container—whether glass, geometric, or open-air—to suit the design and functionality. For gardens, we’ll plan the layout to maximize space and aesthetic appeal, considering plant placement, height, and color schemes.
  4. Plant Selection: The plants chosen will be suited to the growing conditions, including light and moisture requirements. Whether you prefer low-maintenance succulents, vibrant flowers, or lush ferns, we’ll select the right plants to create a balanced, visually pleasing display. In addition, if you have a curious pet in the house, pet-friendly plants will be selected.
  5. Arrangement & Styling: We’ll carefully arrange the plants within your container or garden space, focusing on layering, texture, and contrast. For terrariums, we may add decorative elements like stones, sand, moss, or figurines. For gardens, we’ll ensure that the plants complement each other and create harmony in terms of color, form, and size.
  6. Assembly: Once the design is finalized, we’ll assemble the terrarium or garden. For terrariums, this involves placing plants, soil, and decorative items in the container, while for gardens, this may include planting in the ground or arranging plants in containers for a cohesive look.
  7. Care Instructions: After the design is complete, we’ll provide you with care instructions tailored to your plants, ensuring that your new terrarium or garden thrives over time.

By the end of the process, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind terrarium or garden that is not only visually stunning but also ideally suited to your space and preferences.

COST

The cost of building a custom terrarium can vary based on several factors, including the size, materials, plant selection, and level of customization. Here’s a breakdown of what typically influences the pricing:

  1. Size and Type of Container: The size of the terrarium plays a significant role in cost. Smaller, simpler glass/ceramic containers cost less, while larger, more intricate containers (geometric, open-air, or custom glass pieces) can increase the price.
  2. Plant Selection: The type and number of plants chosen for the terrarium will affect the cost. Low-maintenance plants like succulents and air plants are usually less expensive, while exotic or rare plants, such as ferns, orchids, or carnivorous plants, may add to the overall cost.
  3. Decorative Elements: Adding decorative elements like rocks, driftwood, moss, figurines, or colored sand can increase the cost depending on the materials used and the level of customization. Unique or premium decorative items can raise the price. Design Complexity: If you’re looking for a more intricate design—such as a layered or themed terrarium with multiple plant varieties and accessories—the cost will be higher due to the extra time, care, and materials involved.
  4. Labor and Expertise: Custom terrariums often come with a design fee reflecting the skill and time spent crafting the arrangement. This can vary based on the complexity of the project and the designer’s experience.
  5. Maintenance Services: If you include ongoing maintenance or a facelifting service (like plant replacement, pruning, or replanting), this will be an additional cost.

Price Range:

  • Small, basic terrariums typically start at around $68–$105.
  • Medium-sized or moderately complex designs range from $115–$250.
  • Larger or more intricate designs with exotic plants and custom containers can cost $300–$450 or more.

Ultimately, the cost depends on the specific elements you choose and the customization level, but a custom terrarium is a unique, personal piece that reflects both your style and the care put into its creation.

During a terrarium facelift, you can expect a thorough and thoughtful process designed to refresh and enhance the overall look of your plant display. Here’s what to anticipate:

  1. Assessment: We’ll start by assessing the health of your plants and the overall design. This includes checking for overgrown or dead plants and evaluating the arrangement and aesthetic appeal.
  2. Cleaning: The glass container will be carefully cleaned, removing dust, algae, and any residue that has accumulated, ensuring your terrarium sparkles.
  3. Pruning and Replanting: We’ll trim overgrown plants, remove any dead foliage, and sometimes replace plants that are struggling or no longer fit the design. If necessary, we’ll add new plants that complement the existing ones, enhancing the overall composition.
  4. Soil and Decorative Elements: We may refresh the soil to improve drainage or nutrition, and incorporate new decorative elements like rocks, moss, or small figurines to elevate the visual appeal.
  5. Styling and Arrangement: The plants will be rearranged to create a more balanced, cohesive look, with attention to color, texture, and scale. We may also add layers of pebbles or sand to create a more dynamic landscape.
  6. Final Touches: Once everything is in place, we’ll give your terrarium a finishing touch, ensuring it’s aesthetically pleasing and well-balanced.

By the end of the facelift, your terrarium or garden will look revitalized, with a fresh new style that enhances its beauty and health, breathing new life into your space.
