Terrarium Workshops and Living Landscapes
Bring a piece of nature indoors with our hands-on workshops. Whether you are looking for a weekend escape or a team activity, we provide the space, the plants, and the guidance to help you build your own living ecosystem.
There's a special kind of calm that comes from getting your hands dirty. This is what my workshops are all about: a slow, mindful process where you can switch off and create your own living ecosystem. You don't need any experience, just a willingness to connect with nature.
This is what you can create. A bird's eye view into a lush, self-contained world featuring vibrant moss, delicate ferns, and nerve plants. Each terrarium is a unique piece of living art for your home or desk.
We had a fantastic time bringing a dose of green therapy to the team at Coca-Cola. This time-lapse shows our setup and the creative energy of their employee engagement event. It was a perfect blend of team bonding and fun at work.
The best part of any workshop is seeing the proud smiles at the end. Here’s a wonderful group from one of our sessions, each holding the beautiful miniature garden they built themselves. This is what community and creativity look like.
I believe in helping you succeed long after the workshop ends. In this video, I walk through a common client problem, a moldy terrarium, and explain the crucial role of bright, indirect light. My goal is to give you the practical plant care tips you need for your ecosystem to thrive.
The joy of creating with nature is for everyone, no matter your age. This young participant's smile says it all. My workshops are a family-friendly activity, perfect for nurturing a love for plants in the next generation.
Hello, I'm Deepika, the founder of ByTheLeaf. I started this journey out of a deep love for the peace that plants bring. This video shares a little about my story, from handling every task myself to the joy of seeing this green community grow.
About this collection
In our workshops, we handle the logistics, so you can focus on the process. We provide every tool, from long tweezers and misters to fresh moss and hardy tropical plants. You will learn the science behind building a self-sustaining environment, including the proper layering of drainage and charcoal, so you can leave with a finished piece that you actually know how to maintain.
When I started ByTheLeaf, I wanted to create a space that felt less like a formal class and more like a retreat from the city grind. Most of our public sessions take place at partner cafes and studios across Delhi and Gurugram, making them a perfect weekend activity for friends or a unique way to meet new people. If you are joining us, expect to get your hands dirty. We guide you through the entire process, starting with the foundation layers—Leca drainage and activated charcoal for filtration—and moving up to selecting the foliage that fits your vision.
The most frequent question I get is about keeping plants alive. I spend a lot of time during these sessions debunking myths. We talk about why most plants suffer from too much attention, especially the common issue of overwatering. By the time you leave, you will have a miniature world that is ready to thrive with minimal effort.
We also bring this experience to corporate offices and private homes. For team engagements, we handle the entire setup, from protective floor covers to the final cleanup, allowing your team to bond over a creative, screen-free activity. Whether you are building a dense tropical setup or a minimalist Zen garden, the goal remains the same: helping you build a deeper connection with the nature you bring indoors.
ByTheLeaf
I am Deepika, and ByTheLeaf started from my own need for a quiet, green space in the middle of a busy life. My workshops are designed to be that same grounding experience for you—a few hours of messy, creative, and meditative work that leaves you with a living piece of art.
