Another great article, Lee Anne! I sure hope folks will give terrarium gardening a try ... so much fun for the young and old alike! And, so easy to do! I really enjoy planting terrariums and have used plastic salad bowls as you describe as well as wine glasses, glass cookie jars and even heavy 5 gal glass water jugs from the 1970's. I had two of those heavy jugs planted years ago, but dropped one a long time ago and it shattered! I still have one of them planted up (not the original plants, I change them out every few years!) Nowadays the big water jugs are plastic and blue in color but this is heavy glass. I did cheat with this one ... it has a very short narrow neck so my husband took the jug to a glass cutter and had them cut a hole in the back side of it for easy access to planting! I think I posted a photo of it awhile here's another of how it looks today. I will probably re-do it a little before long, maybe change out a couple of plants!
Thanks again for another great article on Terrariums!
Lee Anne, what a great job on this article! So many possibilities, and each suggestion sets people to thinking...
Thanks for all the info and the fun read.
Lee Anne, I just stopped at a favorite nursery to pick up plants for 'under cover' of any kind. Thanks for writing this article. Terrariums are one of my favorite ways to grow. Now I am getting braver with fittonias, all kinds of ivies, syngoniums and many other plants.
What great ideas! I have some pretty jars I've saved with this in mind, but haven't gotten around to doing anything. Maybe this is just the inspiration I need. Thanks, Lee Anne
