Terrarium


I thought I'd write about something that I've been wanting to do ever since I moved to Canberra and discovered Terrariums. I know I want to do it and I know what glass I'd put it in but I think I may have to wait till Winter finishes. I'd also like to know exactly how to make it and what plants I would like to put in it and also if I were going to have a theme like above.


And do I want to do something like the above and have a series of them? See it's all in the details.


Or something small and delicate looking, so it's similar to a fine piece of art? Once you see a few of them the inspiration is ignited and there are so many choices. It becomes endless and you begin to drown in it, just like in life when you are too smart for your own good.

I thought the above was pretty cool, it's an edible terrarium. Does anyone remember the Oprah episode a few years ago, about her garden party that she did for "O" Magazine? Anyway the dessert for that was a little pot plant, that was completely edible. It had chocolate dirt, marzipan flowers and just other overall yumminess. I remember seeing it and going WOW, that truly is too pretty to eat. For more pictures, or if you're curious about the process of the edible terrarium here's her website; Bitterbutton

I really like those terriums, that would go towards your love of little things. It would be cool to have one that included a little cottage in a woodland type. love Mum
