Bringing Nature Indoors: My love of Terrariums
As a garden designer, my passion is creating beautiful outdoor spaces. However, I recently discovered the art of making terrariums. In this blog, I’ll explain why I transitioned to terrarium making and how it complements my garden design skills. If you’re interested in small-scale gardening or want to bring nature indoors, keep reading to learn more about the benefits of terrariums.
1. The Joy of Small-Scale Design
Terrarium design offers a unique challenge compared to traditional garden design. Working in a small, confined space requires precision and creativity. Every inch counts when arranging plants, soil, and decorative elements. This has sharpened my design skills and allowed me to create beautiful, miniature indoor gardens that are both artistic and functional.
2. Bringing Nature Indoors
Terrariums are the perfect solution for people who don’t have the space for an outdoor garden, I’ve found that terrariums allow us to bring a touch of nature indoors. They are ideal for urban dwellers and those living in small apartments. Terrariums offer the beauty of greenery in a compact form, making them an attractive home decor option.
3. Sustainable and Low-Maintenance Gardening
Terrariums, especially closed terrariums, create their own ecosystems and require minimal maintenance. For busy people who love plants but struggle with plant care, terrariums are the perfect choice. As a designer, offering a low-maintenance option like this has allowed me to cater to clients who want greenery without the hassle of constant upkeep.
4. Following Trends in Indoor Gardening
As houseplants and indoor gardening become more popular, terrariums are perfectly aligned with this trend. Many people are turning to terrariums for home decor or as eco-friendly gifts.
Handcrafted terrariums can feature vibrant green moss or delicate succulents, enclosed in a sleek glass container - perfect for bringing a touch of nature indoors.
