I found this adorable article about the state of terraria today, as well as a brief how-to-make guide, in the Winston Salem Journal "Small Worlds" by Laura Giavonelli I like that darker-foliaged plant in the top right of the above dish garden. Anyone recognize it?
From the article....
When I was a kid, my grandmother had a terrarium in her office. The room doubled as a guest room, and I spent many summer nights in there listening to books-on-tape and watching my latest batch of doomed fire flies flicker in Mason jars.
I tried not to look at the terrarium, a mysterious, algae-covered globe squatting in the shadows. I was convinced that something lived in there. Not necessarily something cuddly, either. You could accuse me of an overactive imagination, and you would probably be right.

I love that!!!
ReplyDeleteThe photo is from Tovah Martin's The New Terrarium, and the plants are listed as (clockwise from top left): Pilea 'Aquamarine,' Ficus pumila cultivar, Sleirolia soleirolii, and Sagina subulata. I have her book out from the local library, and it is well worth waiting for!
ReplyDeleteThanks for those credits Megan.
