Small home gardens are growing in popularity, and miniature
terrariums are the easiest and least expensive indoor garden of
all. The beautiful photos in this book show you how to add a
whimsical touch of green to any space: at work, at home, in your
dorm room even in your car! Terrarium gardening offers unlimited
gardening possibilities, even when space is limited. Although
terrariums have been around since Victorian times, Japanese garden
design has perfected the art form with a modern and minimalist
twist. The container gardening trend fits well with the small-space
living concept refined in Japan and elsewhere. This terrarium
gardening book, from the green division of Japan's Actus Interiors,
features step-by-step instructions to guide you through each stage
of the process: Choosing and Mixing soils Finding unusual
containers Caring for plants Showing off the finished product! All
the plants used in this book are easy to find, easy to grow,
extremely low-maintenance, and can last for a long time. Not only
does Miniature Terrariums show you how to choose plants, but how to
find unique glass containers to put them in, which you can display
anywhere, or give as a gift! This practical way to garden combines
the arts of landscape design, Zen gardening, and home decoration
but is manageable and accessible enough for anyone to enjoy!
