Build Your Own Terrarium (bring your own glass jar!)

In Person at the Library

Bring your own small, wide-mouthed, glass jar (no more than 8 in. in diameter) & decorative elements (legos, small figures, marbles, etc) & we provide the pebbles, plants, moss & charcoal layer).

Build your own terrarium!  You will create a miniature, self-sustaining ecosystem within a container.

Note: This program will run "open house" style between 4:30pm-7:30pm.  If everyone comes at 4:30pm, you will undoubtedly need to wait.  Please come at the time of your choice between 4:40-7:15pm.  Thank you!

The process will include preparing your container, layering materials for drainage, providing soil and plants, and blinging it out with your own decorations.

Please bring with you:

• A glass, wide-mouthed container at least 4 inches in diameter (and not more than 8 inches; no tanks!); think: wide-mouthed peanut butter jar or small fishbowl that you can get your hand into
• Container could have a lid or be open
• Decorative elements to personalize it -- marbles, action figures, leggos, sea glass, crystals, etc.

Library and Presenter will provide:

• Small pebbles
• Plants
• Charcoal layer

Bonus: If you have moss growing in your yard, please harvest some and bring it with you in a food storage container.  Thank you!

About the Presenter: This session will be led by garden consultant and Master Gardener Ann Mauro.

This program is made possible by the Friends of the Roxbury Library.  Register online or by classing the Library at (973) 584-2400.
