Learn how to build a tiny ecosystem that can grow harmoniously within elegant glassware and make a statement in any space. Led by The Botany Shop’s Manager and Plant Stylist, Melodie Slaughter.

Terrariums are magical. Tropical terrariums mimic a naturally warm, moist environment, like the branches of a tree in a rainforest or a nest in the tall grasses of a tropical savanna. These tiny ecosystems can grow harmoniously within elegant glassware or any clear found object and make a statement in any space. They come alive through plant styling as we fashion them into miniature landscapes through adding rocks, stone, driftwood, and other found objects.
