Terrariums
Terrariums just might be the original tiny green gardens. Whether under glass or just living inside it, terrariums bring a bit of the outside in. They can house a single plant or can recreate an entire ecosystem. On Tiny Green Gardens, we share our adventures in creating terrariums, maintaining them and other helpful information to create your own.
