{Europe 2 You's terrarium filled with a gorgeous oregano that looks like flower blossoms- who knew??)
Here's a more modern version filled with succulents & tropical plants:

I love this one:

...And I can actually do moss. Sort of.
This one is whoah:

...And this little ferny fern I could maybe handle:

My window boxes are half dead ( I have plans to add in some mums to replace the ferns I killed) and maybe when I've finished with that I'll get some terrariums in the plant hospice (my house).
Have a great one!!

Love the idea of terrariums! I think it would be a great winter project instead of my garden which I am currently missing!

A great time of year to start thinking about how to bring the outdoors inside....just to add to the mix, here is a link to a sleek free standing terrarium with a sense of mod. {http://interiorconnector.com/product/atlas-industries/6.28.11/ladyslipper)

My Grandma always had terrariums and they lived so maybe you'll have a green thumb with these. Love the looks of them so maybe I'll try one out for our bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI love terrariums! Always good to bring in the outdoors. I made one out of the simplest of materials and it took all of 5 minutes. Go make one today - so fun with the kids!

I've wanted to make one of these for awhile now- I think you just convinced me I need to put it on my short to-do list
ReplyDeleteIf any of you lived through the 70's, you would have had a lifetime's dose of terrariums by now! But if you missed out, go ahead and live it up! But remember, how your mother told you that just because little Becky down the street does "it", doesn't mean you should too! You've been warned! :)
ReplyDeleteWhere would one find that beautiful flower-like oregano? Does it have a name? It doesn't look like the regular kind?
ReplyDeleteI've noticed the comeback of 'terrariums' lately, too. I'd like to point out here that a true terrarium has a cover or lid that allows water condensation and creates it's own little atmospheric condition. A container without a lid is a 'bottle garden'. :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and interesting Lauren! P.S. I always read your posts but don't always have time to comment, so know that I am always stalking u. :D
ReplyDeleteBig luv cousin, Terri xo
Lauren- Love these images, especially the softness the moss adds, but I bet I could kill that moss and those plants really quickly myself. One of the two succulents I bought (inspired by your DC Design House post) has already died and the other is ...sad.
ReplyDeleteI have high hopes to buy a snake plant a.k.a. mother-in-law's tongue. Said to be VERY hard to kill Ha ha!

Love the clean look.
ReplyDeleteI used to have one... they were popular in the 70's I know I just aged myself... Ha!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween!
