The past six days have been a whirlwind of activity for me. I really can't remember when I sat down during that time. My body finally told me today to slow down and breath. It was pouring rain and I had the workshop to myself. I gathered my supplies, brewed a cuppa tea and started working on the terrariums that I blogged about a couple of weeks ago. My first step was to watch the how-to video at Canadian House & Home. It was extremely helpful. So take a look at what I did this afternoon. I added a few tips from my experience too.
Supplies. Tip: Activated Charcoal is available at aquarium supply shops.
Wash jars to make sure they are free of any germs that might impact plant growth.
The first one I completed. Tip: Use kitchen tongs to help place the plant and move soil around.
My favourite jar. I like the lid plus it is a wide mouth jar. I could actually get my hand in there to move things around.
I cheated a little & bought some pretty 'pretend' moss at Luann's last week. I like the look of them and they are easy to care for....no watering!
And tonight during a walk with my family, I was reminded why I was so drawn to the sweet terrariums. We found a purple trillium is a drippy damp area of our property. Ah, nature. We are so blessed.
