About Us
How It All Started
Michael, the founder of Terrarium Laboratory, began the business as a hobby sparked by his love of indoor plants. After moving to Melbourne over fifteen years ago, he found himself missing the lush tropical garden his parents had while he was growing up. Unsure of how to recreate that tropical oasis in an urban setting, Michael stumbled across a terrarium online—and everything just clicked. From that moment, a passion turned into a journey, and Terrarium Laboratory was born.
Starting with art and craft markets, Terrarium Laboratory soon expanded to pop-up events in major shopping centres. Since 2015, we’ve proudly called the South Melbourne Market our home, where we’ve built a reputation for crafting stunning, high-quality terrariums.
