About
Helen's Mini Worlds is an Adelaide micro business that started in our backyard shed. We now have our first storefront in Prospect, Adelaide, running terrarium workshops for both adults and kids.
Visit us 4 days a week to purchase ready-made terrariums, terrarium-making supplies, lush indoor plants and botanical gifts. Or make a terrarium anytime at our drop-in terrarium station!
​
These terrariums are not just beautiful plant arrangements but miniature ecosystems. A lot of care and detail goes into each one to create a beautiful and balanced ecosystem.
​
Join our workshops to explore the science behind terrariums and discover their benefits for indoor plants.
The perfect blend of science and creativity, creating an experience like no other.
Our Belief
There is incredible importance to well-being, slowing down and just taking a moment to yourself.
In these moments, there is a certain type of healing power that comes from nature that surrounds us so effortlessly. With more and more time being spent indoors, Helen’s Mini Worlds brings nature inside. Creating indoor environments to be full of life.
We strongly believe that being surrounded by nature can improve our well-being and mental health.
Who is behind the brand?
Hi, I’m Helen, the founder and creative behind Helen’s Mini Worlds.
​
I have a degree in science and am very research motivated (especially when it comes to designing tiny ecosystems!). I have spent many (many!) hours researching and developing our soil mix and designs. My passion is communicating science to people in a different and interactive way and our terrarium workshops do just that! I am not just about teaching you to make a beautiful terrarium, but will explain the science of how they work and why they are beneficial for your indoor plants.
I also love camping and the outdoors and playing board games. You will find me in store most days or if I'm not in, one of our lovely staff members will help you!
Terrariums are great fun for all ages and I love seeing so many of you having a laugh designing your miniature worlds. Thank you for supporting my dream.
