What it is

The studio, in a box

A terrarium DIY kit is the whole build packed up to go. Think of it the way you would a meal kit, everything portioned and ready, with nothing to hunt down at the store. Open the box, follow the card, and you have a terrarium you made yourself.

Kits are our easiest gift. They land well for birthdays, thank yous, and hostess gifts, and they are just as good for a quiet night in at home.

  • Everything measured out and ready
  • Simple steps, no experience needed
  • Packs and ships without the plants spilling
  • Made and stocked here in Dayton

Who it is for

An easy gift, an easy night in

Kits are the pick when you want to give something a little more thoughtful than a card, or when you want a low key project at home. There is a size and a price band for most occasions, from a small grab and go gift to a bigger centerpiece build.

Not sure which one? Come in and we will help you match a kit to the person, or start with an air plant grab bag if you want something simple.

  • Beginner friendly kits for first time builders
  • Gift ready sizes for birthdays and thank yous
  • Air plant grab bags for a low fuss option
  • Larger kits for a centerpiece build
