I’ve always wanted a Terrarium and I would swoon over the ones that I would find on Etsy. After doing a search, I found some great instructions and put a few together after this first one. Now I’m officially hooked. Warning to friends: you will receive a Terrarium whether you like it or not.
They’re so addicting! I’ve gone to 3 different nurseries in Danville, Dublin and San Ramon to find the perfect succulents and mosses. I can’t get enough and as I type I have a rather large tray in my trunk of new plants so I can make my 5th and 6th Terrariums. ( I told you I was hooked) I’m also eagerly waiting my shipment of beautifully made ceramic mushrooms by Mudpuppy to add to my little gardens.
I found the perfect Terrarium containers from Michaels Arts and Craftsand they even had instructions to make putting one together a breeze.
I just received a comment from a blog that is dedicated to the wonderful world of ferns and mosses. Check out The Fern and Mossery blog for a wealth of information pertaining to Terrariums and some tips and tricks that I think would be beneficial to any first timer.
I found these beautiful Terrarium containers on my search. Here and here.

Your terrarium came out so cute, I love it. The ceramic mushrooms will be the perfect touch. I once made a wedding themed terrarium for a centerpiece at a friend’s nuptials.
I just went to your link and saw your Bridal Terrarium and I loved it!
Beautiful!
Wow, I LOVE how you have so much information on Terrariums on your site. I’ll have to def read up on how to use different containers and plants since I am hooked!
That’s gorgeous! I love terrariums and I’ve been thinking of buying one for a while now. The only problem is deciding which one is my favorite. There are so many great ones!
I have a few of those mudpuppy mushrooms on my computer desk and just seconds ago I read about a pear shaped terrarium (on Decor8) and now terrariums are talked about here — I’m thinking I need to get one. lol
I’m seriously addicted. I just spent $100 today on new containers, moss and gravel so that I can make more and have my kids make their own. I think they’d really enjoy it. ;-)
Thanks for including a link to my blog Andrea! And the investment in terrarium-making materials is a good one- you’ll soon start collecting bottles and jars and have more terrariums than you’ll know what to do with!

I’m already addicted. lol
I just came across your site in my search for terrariums and I have to say I love yours. I can’t wait to explore the rest of your site as I too have loved terrariums and have decided to make my own this year. Thanks for the wealth of information!
Thank you! My collection has grown quite a bit and they seem to be multiplying. lol
