Handmade Terrariums in Esher
Handmade Terrariums in Esher
Blue Squid Creation is a handmade terrarium studio based in Addlestone, Surrey, just 7 miles from Esher. Every terrarium is built by hand by Zoe Carlini using upcycled glass, with prices starting from just £12.
From Claremont Landscape Garden to the bustling high street, Esher residents appreciate quality, design, and sustainability.
Why Choose a Blue Squid Terrarium
Every Blue Squid terrarium is handmade in small batches at our Addlestone studio. Zoe sources vintage and reclaimed glass, then carefully selects plants that will thrive together inside each container. The result is a living piece of art that grows more beautiful over time, with minimal care needed.
Closed terrariums are self-sustaining ecosystems that rarely need watering. They make ideal gifts for anyone who loves plants but does not have time for high-maintenance houseplants. Open and succulent terrariums offer something different: a hands-on, tactile experience for people who enjoy tending to their plants more regularly.
