Forest in a Jar
Forest in a Jar by ArtMoment
A miniature green world you build with your own hands.
Create your own forest in a jar
A forest in a jar is a living miniature ecosystem – moss, ferns and small plants sealed in a glass jar, where they keep their own moisture and cycle of life going. At the ArtTerra workshop you build your own little piece of forest: you choose the plants, layer the substrate and shape a landscape from your imagination. You take home two jars – one larger and one smaller.
More about the workshopHow building a forest in a jar works
Over two hours, experienced instructors take you through the whole process – from the drainage layer and choosing mosses and plants to the final arrangement. Everything goes at a relaxed pace in a laid-back atmosphere, and you need no gardening experience. At the end you learn how to care for your forest in a jar so it thrives for many years.

What do you take home?
Two forests in a jar you built yourself, safely packed for the journey home, plus the calm that creating with nature brings. A closed ecosystem is almost self-sustaining – no daily watering, just occasional care. And whenever you are unsure, we are happy to advise you even after the workshop.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – FOREST IN A JAR
A closed miniature ecosystem of mosses, ferns and small plants in a glass jar. The water evaporates, condenses on the glass and returns to the roots, so in the right spot it lasts months or even years with minimal care.
The experience takes about 2 hours. You build two moss terrariums – one larger and one smaller – and take both home straight away, safely packed.
No. The instructor explains how to layer the drainage, activated charcoal and substrate, and helps you choose the mosses and plants and arrange them. At the end you learn how to look after a closed ecosystem.
