Terrarium workshop near Albufeira for anyone who wants to spend a relaxed and creative afternoon outdoors in the Algarve building their own miniature glass garden from scratch. Guided by Apolline and Lola from Atenda in a calm and cosy outdoor setting, this hands-on session takes you through the full terrarium-making process step by step, from selecting your plants and arranging them beautifully to adding a personal creative touch by painting a small stone to place inside your piece. You leave with a finished terrarium, practical care tips to keep it thriving and a genuinely lovely memory of your time in the Algarve. No experience needed and all materials are included.

The session is peaceful and unhurried by design, with snacks and soft drinks provided throughout and the option to bring your own drinks as well. For larger groups, an optional cocktail van offering cocktails, coffee and matcha can be added on request. The outdoor Algarve setting creates exactly the right atmosphere for working with plants and natural materials, giving the whole experience a quality of genuine reconnection with nature that is difficult to find in an indoor workshop space.

We are Apolline and Lola, founders of Atenda. We met while studying in Canada, settled in the Algarve and built Atenda around a simple belief: that the most meaningful experiences are the ones you create yourself. We bring workshops to outdoor and private settings across the Algarve, making every session personal, welcoming and genuinely memorable. No experience is needed, just curiosity and a love for plants and making things by hand.

No prior experience needed. BYOB welcome. Cocktail van available on request for larger groups. Perfect for friends, couples, solo travellers and small groups.
