Workshop: Terrariums – A Living Microcosm

When: Thursday February 4, 10:30 to 12:00
Cost: $75
RSVP: yourfriends@mcardles.com

Terrariums are a wonderful way to have a little bit of heaven in your home. A properly designed terrarium is relatively easy to make using simple-to-find materials, and can add a distinctive flair to an otherwise plain room. Terrariums inherently evoke a peaceful, meditational element and are guaranteed to sooth the soul. Plants grown in a glass-enclosed chamber tend to stay happy and healthy with little care. Even those with a “brown thumb” will quickly realize how easy plant-care can be!

Come join John Horn---one of the leading horticulturalists in the area---and learn the basics of terrarium building and care. You will leave with a beautiful piece of living art in an 8” diameter x 14” tall glass cylinder. You’re guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face!
