Terrarium Workshop

• Saturday, December 14, 2024, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

A terrarium is a small green space that is created in a transparent container, either open or closed, consisting or various plants and other materials. As “mini-gardens” that can be enjoyed indoors by anyone, terrariums are becoming increasingly popular. The plants that you can use range from air plants, mosses, succulents, cacti and more. The accessories or decorative materials that are used along with the plants are also varied – stones, shells, wood chips – the choice is unlimited. Completed terrariums can be used to brighten up you décor and enjoyed all year long. They also make great gifts for the holidays . Join a Master Gardener volunteer to learn how to make your own terrarium to bring home with you. This will be a “hands-on” workshop.

Additional Notes

Terrariums in general can be made in open or closed clear glass containers. In this class we will be making OPEN glass terrariums ONLY. The reason for this is we will be using cacti and succulents, which do not do well in the humid environments encouraged by closed glass terrariums. If you plan to bring your own container in which to plant a terrarium, it must be an open glass container. (PLEASE NOTE; CONTAINER SHOULD BE LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD 3 TINY PLANTS AND YOU ARE ABLE TO GET YOUR HAND INTO)

Fee

$20 if you bring your own open transparent container, $25 if not
