Terrarium Workshop@ The Plant Story

P1300508

Before going to bed on Friday night, hubby announced that he is going to bring me to a surprise event the next morning. Despite asking him repeatedly, he refused to disclose what he has up his sleeves. hmmm....

The next morning, he brought me to The Plant Story@HortPark. The surprise event was hosted by Marriage Central, it was a special treat for couples to spend some quality time together at a Terrarium Workshop. awww....

Hubby was one of the fastest fingers to sign up. Together with 21 couples, we 'grew' house plants in a bottle. The terrarium is low maintenance and only needs watering once every six months! Good for lazy gardeners like me. :D

    My aunt used to have these. And I still keep a book on how to cultivate/grow them.

    This bring back memories ECL. Just like that snack shop you posted earlier. :)

      Terrariums are cool! Now that I live in a small apartment, it is possible to still grow plants or keep gardens ..... in a bottle. Best is no need to water them everyday. :P

      I am going to get a how-to book on terrariums too.

    I remember some of my grade school had terrarium in there class room. At times I thought of having a terrarium or a green house sort of off my sliding glass door.

    Coffee is on.

      I don't have green thumbs, so most of the plants I bought died within two months. haha .....

    I used to learn about this in secondary school. Unfortunately I have never tried it before. :D
