Terrariums - Gardens Under Glass: Designing, Creating, and Planting Modern Indoor Gardens

Description:

Terrariums are the ultimate way to bring the natural world indoors!

The
art of terrarium making is back in vogue and better than ever. Growing collections of adorable miniature plants in glass vessels is a great way to bring the indoors out and get back in touch with nature—no matter where you live and what time of year it is. Whether you reside in a tiny apartment, spend the bulk of your hours at an office desk, or just want to be better connected to green, living things, terrariums are the ticket. A wondrous combination of nature, gardening, and home decor, terrarium building and tending is both therapeutic and inspirational.

Terrarium expert and teacher Maria Colletti makes designing your very own
interior gardens easy with step-by-step photos of over twenty of her own terrarium designs. Plus, you'll get all the information you need about popular terrarium plants, such as tillandsias (air plants), orchids, mosses, cacti, succulents, and ferns.

Transform basic glass containers, including vases, jars, vertical planters, hanging globes, tabletop greenhouses, and more, into 
miniature worlds of green. Once you know the basics (the plants, the vessels, and a basic understanding of soil, water, and humidity), you can mix and match for an endless exploration of your own creativity!
 


Editorial Reviews

Review

"Maria Colletti is no ordinary gardener. Instead, her green designs are small and portable. Hers is the domain of the terrarium--she creates miniature landscapes thriving in a world of glass, sunlight and minimal intervention. Known as the "terrarium savant" by a legion of fans, she has cultivated both expertise and a following that, like her creations, has grown organically with time." - Edible Manhattan



"Other books on this subject verge into kitsch, with authors ornamenting their terrariums with miniature people, furnishings, and animals, but Colletti happily avoids this detour and focuses purely on plants"

C.S. · November 4, 2015

Beautiful photos and even more beautiful terrariums. If you love gazing at indoor plants, terrariums and room placement, this would be a great book for you. I have used it as a blueprint for terrarium planting as well as a resource for the terrarium plants.Very thoughtful and entertaining reading.This is a favorite terrarium book of mine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide.

Good price, good shipping time, good packaging,and great info. The book is a pretty good overview. It is written more like a lady having a conversation with you when you come over for tea and talk about hobbies. The information is like a journey of this ladies experience with terrariums then an actual informational book on terrariums. There is some info and she does a good job explaining the process but the whole thing could of been condensed into a pamphlet if you just broke down the real information. Still looking for a good terrarium book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book with lots of design ideas.

Good book, mostly focused on design concepts. I was looking for something more about the botanical science of small enclosed terrariums.That said, great photography, lovely layout, and lots of ideas for building attractive gardens.
