In the bleak mid-winter, come lift your spirits by designing and planting your own terrarium. Terrariums, which have been popular since Victorian times, are glass enclosed containers for growing small plants. You will learn about proper soil mixes, charcoal, moisture, light, temperature, fertilizing, plant selection, and maintenance. Bring to class a clear glass container of your choice (with or without a lid) with a maximum base of 8” – 10”. Plastic will not work. Suggestions include a wide-mouth bottle, a cookie or pickle jar, large brandy snifter, fish bowl, or glass cylinder. Check out the craft stores and Home Goods for container ideas. All other supplies including plants will be provided.

The cost is $26 for Aldridge Gardens members and $33 for non-members (including materials).

Instructor: Donna Bishop, Terrarium Designer

Class Limited to 16
