Bought two terrariums and they were both beautifully made and carefully delivered with helpful care instructions. Will buy again as they offer a great variety of products that make excellent gifts.

Replanting neglected Terrariums
I wanted to replant a Terrarium that I had sadly neglected. I messaged from the website, got a really quick and very helpful response. As the terrarium was larger than kits listed online they put a bespoke package together for me. I have now replanted and couldn’t be happier. Excellent service and top quality goods. Thank you UB

I'm new to terrarium gardening....
Although I found a lot of things out of stock, I think it was mostly because of the time of year. But am pleased with my order - it came on time and well packaged. I can't wait to get started. Maybe website could give more ideas and inspiration on different terrarium ideas.

True beauty in miniature
I bought the Terrarium for my wife who is a plant lover and very keen gardener. It was despatched very promptly and arrived exceptionally well packaged to prevent any damage.
The plants inside looked very healthy and it was very obvious that a lot of thought and care had gone into the layout and presentation of the contents.
I purchased the lid with the built in light which when turned on in a low lit room added to the beauty of this outstanding purchase.
My wife and I are so pleased with the product that we are now looking to purchase a bigger Terrarium with different plants from the Urban Botanist as the whole experience from purchase to delivery has been first class. We highly recommend this company and their products.

First anniversary - will definitely buy again
Bought as a present for our first anniversary. My partner loves it. The plants were in great condition and all the decorations and other bits were fantastic. Will definitely order from here again! Probably without dedicated day delivery as it didn’t arrive when it was supposed to, but that’s not the fault of the company.
