About this Event
Come create a tiny & terrific green world inside of a 1/2 gallon mason jar!
Join us on Sunday March 15th at 4:00pm in the Glassroom and plant your very own enclosed terrarium. During this hands-on workshop, follow along as we guide you through designing and planting a stunning combination that fills the glass walls with unique plants that can thrive for years inside of the jar with very little care. During the creative fun, enjoy listening to inspiring stories and fascinating facts about the history and magic of terrariums & the plants that grow within them while you craft a piece of living art to take home. This workshop is the perfect blend of creativity, nature, and charm. Bring a sister, mom, significant other, kids or your friends - your miniature garden awaits!
Come learn
- How these miniature ecosystems are self-sustaining
- How they work as closed systems
- How to select suitable plants, soil, and decorative elements (pebbles, moss, figurines)
- The step-by-step assembly - how to properly layer for drainage, soil, and planting
- How to care for your new indoor ecosystem for the long-term (it doesn't take much!), everything from the lighting, watering, pruning, and the troubleshooting of common issues
All materials are provided. Participants receive a 1/2 gallon mason jar, the chance to choose 3 plants from a large variety, and all of the other layers needed for planting.
Don't miss the fun & education!
