Build your own terrarium, University of Glasgow

Discover what makes a healthy ecosystem with research students from the University of Glasgow. Create your own terrarium to build your very own park in a cup,  planting your own seeds to become a botanist at home.


Ecosystem Engineers was developed as part of Glasgow Science Festival in Action. A training scheme run by GSF to support University of Glasgow PhD students to develop their public engagement skills. The team of PhD students from the Colleges of Science & Engineering and Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences were briefed to create family friendly activities linked to the festival theme, Glasgow's Transforming. Julia Isakova, Oscar Lavery, Maisha Tanzim and Yusef Ayten did an amazing job and we hope you enjoy the activities.
