A Wardian Case is an air tight, mainly glass enclosure for growing plants. It was introduced by Dr. Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward, of London, in the 1800\'s. It is also known as a terrarium.
An additional note .. In the 19th century a plant explorer and collector by the name of Dr. Nathaniel Ward designed a glass case to transport his findings. He traveled between Australia and England. During the Victorian era often Wardian Cases were highlighted in the home. We now have terrariums and bottle gardens.
