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, moisture, light, temperature, fertilization, plant selection and maintenance. Bring to class a clear container of your choice (with or without a lid). Suggestions include a wide-mouth bottle, an old aquarium or pickle jar, large brandy snifter, fish bowl or glass cylinder. Check out the craft stores and pet store fish areas for container ideas. All other supplies including plants will be provided.
