Trendy Terrariums

by on ‎03-12-2014 03:06 PM

I had such a wonderful time at the Philadelphia Flower show this past weekend! This year's ARTiculture theme was very interactive and also very inspiring for me as I had the chance to create this really fun terrarium (I actually made two). lol.. Remember when we made these back in the day!?? 


One of the "HOT ITEMS” this year on the PHS Garden Trends report is Indoor Gardens, so I thought I would be "Trendy" and make one.. you too can get inspired by checking out our “Hot List”. 


I hope to encourage you to make a terrarium for your window sill or as a fun way to make a great craft with your kids and grand kids.


 


Supply list:



  • Container

  • Tiny stones

  • Container soil

  • Sand

  • Plants-ivy, succulents, etc...(1 plant per inch)

  • Tiny decorations (I used a flamingo and turtles)




)


 Directions:


First you must pick a container which gives you so many options- canning jars are inexpensive and even come in colors, fish bowls, a liter soda bottle or gallon of milk container will work.
.


Add a generous layer of tiny stones for drainage..


Next layer put in good quality potting soil..


Add your plants-great tip for thorny cactus is handle with a paper towel so no ouches.!


Arrange the plants, water gently add sand and tiny stones..



Have fun with tiny decorations (turtle, etc...).  Make sure you share your pictures with me!
