Bringing Nature Indoors: My Transition from Gardens to Terrariums
As a garden designer, my passion is creating beautiful outdoor spaces. However, I recently discovered the art of making terrariums, and it has become a significant part of my business. 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. As a garden designer, I’ve found that terrariums allow me 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. New Revenue Streams for My Business
Terrariums have opened up new business opportunities. From selling pre-made terrariums to hosting workshops, I’ve expanded my services beyond traditional garden design. Terrariums also make unique gifts, and I’ve enjoyed connecting with clients on a more personal level by teaching them how to create their own.
5. 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. By incorporating terrariums into my business, I’ve been able to stay on-trend and reach a broader audience.
Terrariums have added a new dimension to my garden design business. They offer the perfect blend of nature, sustainability, and design, making them an ideal choice for indoor gardening enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking to bring greenery into your home or create a miniature indoor garden, terrariums are a beautiful and low-maintenance way to enjoy nature year-round.
Handcrafted terrariums can feature vibrant green moss or delicate succulents, enclosed in a sleek glass container - perfect for bringing a touch of nature indoors.
