Q: How can I bring my garden indoors this season?
A: Fall is a wonderful time to bring the garden indoors and enjoy plants within a terrarium. These unique mini-gardens can feature a type of plant, a holiday theme, or even a fairy garden for the kids.
First, you’ll need to gather your supplies. A glass terrarium container should be at least 12 inches across. Use a sterile potting medium without perlite, which tends to float, or pick a formulated mix from your favorite nursery for the type of plants you plan to use. Small tools like kitchen spoons, forks, scissors and chopsticks are best while working in the small space.
