Grow and Create with Forestry Johor
On 12 August 2026, our team was invited to host terrarium workshop for Forestry Johor event where participants came together for a hands-on terrarium workshop that brought nature and creativity into one experience at Ayer Hitam. The workshop was not limited to the team members but members of the surrounding community also joined us, making the session even more meaningful and lively.
The highlight of the workshop was the pitcher plant, that participants had the opportunity to grow and care for themselves. Rather than simply receiving a plant to place in their terrarium, participants could pick the pitcher plants they had grown and bring them into their own creations.
From selecting the plants and arranging the layers to choosing where each pitcher plant would sit, everyone had the freedom to design their terrarium in their own way. Each creation became a little reflection of its maker, different shapes, arrangements and combinations, but all connected by the same experience of growing and creating.
What made the workshop particularly rewarding was seeing the journey come full circle. The plants that participants had carefully grown were no longer just part of the nursery or growing area. They became the centrepiece of their very own miniature forest ecosystem.
All participants received package that includes:
- LECA, sphagnum moss, mixed of live mosses & figurines
-
Cylinder glass (8.5cm x 15cm) & Bowl glass (15cm x 11.5cm) with Naug Acrylic Lid
- Tools
- Care guide card & workshop brochure
- On-site guidance
The results were amazing to see. Terrariums filled with lush greenery and striking pitcher plants came to life, and the sense of pride on participants' faces was just as impressive as the terrariums themselves.
More than a creative activity, the workshop was a reminder of the connection between growing, learning and appreciating nature. By giving participants the chance to nurture their own plants and then use them to create something personal, the experience turned forestry and conservation into something they could see, touch and take home.
