A garden in a jar,
A glass dome full of life
|
First stones, then tea bags and potting mix |
|
and a Hypoestes Freckle Face |
|
And a lot of fingers crossed |
When I was traversing San Francisco I wandered into a store that sold fossils, taxidermy and gardens in glass containers, I asked, what is that? And I was told, terrarium [tɛˈrɛərɪəm] n pl -rariums, -raria [-ˈrɛərɪə] - a glass container, often a globe, in which plants are grown.
This, I knew, is what I needed for my window sill.
Some people make this art -

What a neat idea! If only I didn't kill every plant I get...
I am much the same, but i'm hoping this one will pull through!
