Terrariums as Tabletop Gardens

Terrariums make beautiful tabletop mini gardens and create a tropical mood in either home or office.  My daughter and I have made a terrarium  for her Science project last year.  With minimal materials which include glass container, potting soil, pebbles, charcoal, small plants, and some teeny tiny decors,you can already design your own. terrarium. They’re easy to maintain.  All you need is to spray some water once that soil looks dry.  Perfect for a forgetful gardener like me, yay! Perfect a  weekend DIY project that also serves as a bonding time with the kids.
