Absolutely amazing class. Great teacher. Very relaxing atmosphere. Got to make two Moss balls home! Will be next time to try a different class and learn how to make terrariums!

This shop is incredible. No words really! Thank you so much guys!
Got a fighting fish, some snails & a bunch of cherry shrimps from here,
Also aquatic plants, everything I needed really for my fish tank and it’s coming together so nicely.
I wish I could give 6 stars! The owners were super friendly & very helpful.
I will definitely be recommending people and returning again.

I’ve been coming to Mappin for years and have always loved the beautiful plants and the space itself. But I had such a disappointing experience on 12th april PM that I left feeling really uncomfortable. Two staff members were once again rude and unhelpful — and unfortunately, this isn’t the first time it’s happened.
It’s made me feel like I can’t come back — which is really sad, because this was a place I genuinely enjoyed visiting. Please remember, it’s not just about a single sale. It’s about the way people are made to feel. Word of mouth and personal recommendations matter, and kindness goes a long way.

This place is addictive, so many great plants and fish too. I am starting to get back into terrariums and their advice, products and services have been invaluable. Here is a pic of my first new terrarium in around 40 years and some plants for my next one. Highly recommended

I discovered an incredible place. This is a flower shop designed like a museum that should be visited in Brisbane. There are many kinds of flowers and plants. Even suitable pots are also sold. At the back, only goldfish and a few types of betta fish are sold. And aquariums and bowls of different sizes are sold. The ladies at the cash register are very friendly and informative. They give extensive information about how to care for flowers. On the side, they have made an area where you can easily plant the plants you buy in pots. They enriched the look of the shop with beautiful and different objects. Plants are already artistic, and artist shop owners added beauty to this shop.
