A snapped this picture last July in one of the amazing greenhouses at the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley.  This small botanical garden is perched on the mountains behind the main campus and they sure do have a spectacular array of plants in such a small area of land.  I expected to see it all in less than two hours when I could have easily spent half the day in the three small but wonderful

These amazing carved book landscape sculptures by Guy Laramee are not exactly terrariums in any general sense of the word.  However they offer the glimpse into a small imagined landscape that any good terrarium affords.  I encourage you to check out more about this artist and his work at Colossal Art & Design.

I love the poetry in these inverted glass jar found terrariums, depicted in a tutorial by Amy Merrick on Design Sponge.  I think these would make great centerpieces for an event but I sincerely doubt they would live very long in such an enclosed environment sans air circulation. If you'd like to try this project out I suggest two additional steps: 1. Use a drop of bleach when rinsing out

Answer:  Unfortunately I haven't mail ordered plants for terrariums before personally. But I hear very good things about Black Jungle terrarium supply, an online shop that specializes in plants for reptile terrariums. For a

I have a soft spot for plants that go bump in the night.  Well - you know what I mean - these suckers sure look like the stuff of nightmares!  I once tried to grow a Home Depot Sundew (Drosera) in a terrarium to little avail but this gentleman has got the mother of all carnivorous-plant-terrariums going on in this youtube video.  Love the variety and the vibrancy.

After a long hiatus from the blog (finals) I am proud to share these lovely photos from terrarium-maker Maja S. from Croatia.  Maja says: I'm lucky to live in a climate that allows mosses and ferns to grow freely in the nature. Actually my yard is full of moss, and in this short time I've been collecting it I found 6 or more different kinds just by snooping around my little town.

I was disappointed in this bare-bones terrarium tutorial spotted at the HGTV website.  At least they included the note about sphagnum moss and charcoal to ensure filtration levels for the soil.

I love these repurposed wine bottle terraria housing a simple collection of mosses. The bottle-on-its-side really lends itself to making the moss look like a miniature landscape. Good luck snatching up one of these terrariums - they are back ordered on Uncommon Goods. And note the thoughtful inclusion of a chopstick tool for moss maintenance. In the miniature worlds of small terrariums a

Here is a stunning example of the high art form to which us humble terrarium-makers can strive towards. Lindsay Taylor and collaborators designed this terrarium, which has existed for some time on it's own. More proof that the underlying trick to a successful terrarium is the achievement of a balanced environment for your chosen plants. A lady slipper orchid, moss, ferns, climbing ficus,

American Profile offers a concise guide on getting started with terrarium crafting. As always- I highly reccomend the charcoal layer:Charcoal filter. A layer of activated charcoal as used in aquariums will filter the air and water and keep them sweet. You can buy charcoal in pet shops or nurseries. If your terrarium is an open container, you won’t need the charcoal filter, but you will need to

I'm a bigger knitter in addition to terrarium-enthusiast. There is something magic about working with a special yarn and knitting it up to a whole new item. It's almost a surprise every time - much like the end result of a fully grown terrarium always looks a little different than you expected. I fell in love with this novel combo: felt and plants.

According to the NY Times the imitable grand poobah of terrariums- Paula Hayes- is now designing tableware akin to the biomorphic figures in which she builds her mini ecosystems. These funky glass-blown pieces are great for terrariums- I don't know if I would to drink wine out of it. I still like her style. NY Times

I jumped the gun with my Anthropologie/UO Sea Urchin terrarium post. They have an "orca" shaped glass container as well. Doesn't look like a whale to me- looks more like a sack. Maybe if it had a fin or two I could whole-heartedly accept it as an interpretation on the whale theme... oh well.Anthropologie

That is typed correctly - peep this terrarium footstool. Wonder of all wonders- I truly thought when it comes to terrariums- I've seen it all. Enter Annalee and her blog ramblingsofagypsynomad and this utterly bizarre, utterly amazing terrarium-inspired footstool. I doubt live plants could live for long in it- but man o man. How could you not try? This vintage footstool dates from the 1960s

1.) It was only a matter of time before Urban Outfitters jumped on the terrarium bandwagon by selling terraria, especially since Anthropologie has been riding that wave for a while- at least they have had terrarium decorations in their stores for a while.2.) It also seems like UO/Anthro has a lot of urchin-shaped items in their stores.3.) Hence, the above Urchin Terrarium, container available at

It's Monday- so you must allow me some leeway. Look at this beautiful glass globe necklace by Melissa Schmidt, as seen on artful home. No- it is not a terrarium. No- I doubt you could make miniature terrariums inside of it. But part of my love for terrariums stems from my love of glass objects. I love glorious shape of the necklace and the blown glass bulbs look just like the glass

Another wonderful repurposed object story: peep this wild illuminated terrarium nestled within a recycled newspaper box. It's adorable and eye catching but I'm not sure I'd really put it in my house.

First OFF: apologies for my long, unexplained absence from the F&M. Life calls- and with plans for moving out of state looming in my future I took on (rather rashly) a garage sale. WOW that was a lot of work.ANYHOO- I have visions of filling my new apartment with clouds of hanging plants. Starting with these adorable succulent terraria by Senorita from casasugar. They look a little less

Miniature orchids are hands-down cool. Pop your adorable, magical mini orchid into a teardrop terrarium and you have just entered "very cool" territory. Orquivalle.com can get you started with both your teardrop terrarium and a wee orchid of your own. You must supply the orchid know-how my friend, and then let me know-how too. Orquivalle.com

I have just the thing to jazz up that drab, "I-just-threw-this-on-come-on-it's-monday" outfit. MOSS TERRARIA EARRINGS from WarmCountryMeadows. These babies are alive and well, unlike some other perma-green terrarium jewelry we have spied. Living=better. 'Nuff said. WarmCountryMeadows

I have the dreaded "black" thumb when it comes to indoor orchids. But I can't pretend that I haven't thought about trying to stick one in a terrarium. I alwayws feared that the roots would not get enough airflow. But it might be worth a try.Enter CasaSugar's recent orchid-terrarium-tutorial, which looks fairly straight-forward. Pop an orchid in some spahgnum moss in a jar. The article

Sweet! As in sweet pure air, formaldehyde-free created in your own home by this Andrea Air Purifier, as seen in the Chicago Tribune. I have seen a few of these plant-based air purifiers on the blog circuit but has anyone had any practical experience with them? It'll only set you back $200 buckers, according to Amazon. Well heck.

ShelterPOP offered a nice concise list of plant recommendations for terrarium-life. I'm horrible with official names of plants so these are not really ringing a bell for me. Anyone have any experience with any of these? Has anyone ever actually tried a bromeliad in a terrarium? The following plants are suitable for a terrarium:

Bill Everston at Under Construction posted a lovely wrap-up review of the recent Alternative Experimental Flower Show at Mobius in Boston. Multimedia artist Sarah Rushford displayed these lovely topsy-turvy bottle terraria. Here is Bill's verdict:Sarah Rushford was represented by a piece called Terrarium. Sarah has provided a visual metaphor with corn planted in milk bottle terrariums.
