Terrarium Craft...



































Terrariums were discovered by Dr. Nathaniel Ward in 1827.  They are also referred to as Wardian cases or miniature greenhouses.  These tiny ecosystems were very popular during England's Victorian Era and then they sort of fell out of fashion...
I recently rediscovered them because they seem to be everywhere nowadays...Dwell Mag, Etsy, The New York Times... I love these chic garden capsules!  Love, love, love!!!
