If you live in the city but want to be close to nature . . .
If you call the countryside home but have no time to
step outside . . .
If you are confined to an office fifty
hours a week . . .
If your home needs the soothing touch
of the natural world . . .
In The New
Terrarium, Tovah Martin, one of America’s favorite
gardeners, introduces you to the whimsical yet practical
world of gardens under glass—a no-fuss way to bring snippets
of nature indoors. Wherever you are, in whatever little time
you have, terrariums are the perfect tool for nature lovers
and gardeners everywhere.
With gorgeous photography,
The New Terrarium reveals how this classic garden
tool has been reimagined in a modern way. When encased in
glass, plants thrive with almost no help from outside their
little enclosed world, so you can host a plant almost
anywhere—in your apartment where the air is dry or in your
cubicle where there’s little natural light. Tucked inside
something crystal and contained, the bounty of the forest or
treasures from the beach or the meadow can merge seamlessly
into your home or office environment. It’s amazing how some
frothy fern fronds or colorful blossoms can transform a room
by giving it a burst of vibrant green life.
With
clear, simple step-by-step instructions and photographs to
inspire and guide you along the way, Martin shares her years
of experience growing and tending terrariums and shows how
terrariums can enrich your life, including:
•
different venues for cultivating your terrarium
• plants
that flourish in these gardens under glass
• ideas and
designs for creating your first terrarium
• how to care
for and maintain the environment you’ve made
Martin
has designed a unique range of imaginative terrarium
projects, including ones that are suitable for children,
enliven the seasons, incorporate plant propagation, and show
off a nature collection. Whether you are a gardener or
city-dwelling nature lover, The New Terrarium is the
perfect way to spark your creativity, while helping you to
bring your favorite plants into your home and giving them a
place to thrive.
When nature is out of arm’s reach
and you crave a little greenery, The New Terrarium
can show you how to bring all the benefits of the outdoors
close to you.
