Small home gardens are growing in popularity, and miniature terrariums are the easiest and least expensive indoor garden of all. The beautiful photos in this book show you how to add a whimsical touch of green to any space: at work, at home, in your dorm room—even in your car!

Terrarium gardening offers unlimited gardening possibilities, even when space is limited. Although terrariums have been around since Victorian times, Japanese garden design has perfected the art form with a modern and minimalist twist. The container gardening trend fits well with the small-space living concept refined in Japan and elsewhere.

This terrarium gardening book, from the green division of Japan's Actus Interiors, features step-by-step instructions to guide you through each stage of the process:
  • Choosing and Mixing soils
  • Finding unusual containers
  • Caring for plants
  • Showing off the finished product!
All the plants used in this book are easy to find, easy to grow, extremely low-maintenance, and can last for a long time. Not only does Miniature Terrariums show you how to choose plants, but how to find unique glass containers to put them in, which you can display anywhere, or give as a gift!

This practical way to garden combines the arts of landscape design, Zen gardening, and home decoration—but is manageable and accessible enough for anyone to enjoy!

"Miniature Terrariums offers a practical way to garden that deftly combines the arts of landscape design, Zen gardening, and home decoration--but is manageable and accessible enough for anyone to enjoy! Miniature Terrariums is unabashedly and enthusiastically recommended for personal, community, and academic library Gardening instructional reference collections in general, and Terrarium Management supplemental studies reading lists in particular." -- Midwest Book Review "Great care has been taken with descriptions of exactly what type of media to use to plant in, as well as useful tips on how to fill the container without getting it all over the place, and the best lighting to give your plants the potential to thrive as decorative, living art. With all the great pictures and detailed instructions, your next project could very well be a miniature terrarium." --Drought Smart Plants "What I love about this book is not only does it give lots of instructions for being able to execute these terrariums, but it shows you the beauty of repurposing glass containers such as a lab flask, wine glass, mason jar, or an inexpensive glass box or hanging bulb. It gives some examples of using moss and fern, air plants, succulents and other types of plants. I REALLY want to try some of these this summer." -- Kim Johnson, Desire to Inspire
