Victorian Terrariums






Victorian terrariums are a beautiful addition to any home. They are magical mini worlds that thrive when self-contained. Nothing is more perfect for the Urbanite gardener. Or the aesthetic artist. The New York Times has an excellent article by Emily Weinstein on the increasing popularity of terrariums(http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/03/garden/03terrarium.html). I have a large terrarium on a stand that I have filled with potted plants. I have a tiny triangular terrarium that will probably be filled with moss and a single miniature succulent. I also have mad a terrarium from an apothecary jar. It contains a sellaginella. I would love to have a conservatory. Until then, the terrariums are a satisfying substitute.
