About Green Mansions Memphis

image

.

Green Mansions are unique, sustainable terrariums created by Nancy Morrow. More than a rainforest in a jar, they are sentient friends, silent wondrous worlds of green life. Lift the top and smell Eden. Terries are low maintenance and particularly suited to urban environments and small spaces. I plant my terries with loving care, then spend weeks or months training the plants and shaping the landscape; they live for years with minimal maintenance.

Green Mansions are popular gifts for housewarmings, and brighten up any office desktop or reception area.  Many people keep them on kitchen breakfast countertops, or under skylights in the master bath.  Kids who like the outdoors are fascinated by the ever changing worlds under glass. They are long lasting gifts for Mom, Dad, and anyone you want to show some love.  Cut flowers are pretty for day; a terrarium will bring years of joy.

Get your own tiny rainforest at Diane’s Art, Gift, and Home, on Overton Park Street; at the Annesdale Park Gallery or The Spa Midtown, both  on Peabody Avenue, all in Midtown Memphis.

Prices range from $25 for wine glass moss creations to an average of $80 for a medium tabletop bowl; prices vary by size, the rarity of the plants, etc.

Terrariums, plants and supplies are available by appointment at the Mansion, along with the opportunity to build your own and learn about the world of gardening under glass.  Custom designs are my specialty, and inquiries on plant matters are welcome.  You can contact me for an appointment, or watch for my sales and workshops at locations around the city.

Philadelphia Flower Show March 2015 – Part One

Every February for years I thought about going to Philadelphia for the Flower Show.  Then, I thought better about flying north in the dead of winter.  This year, I saw the ladies from Twigs Terrariums in Brooklyn would be there, and decided to pack my snow boots and grab a plane to the City of Brotherly Love to meet them.  Katy Maslow was manning the booth when I dropped by.  She was surprised to learn they had a fan who travelled from Memphis! Katy and Michelle specialize in small moss terries with unusual tiny figurines I could never find in any of the model shops and catalogs.  Turns out, they sculpt them to meet the special requests that their customers have made. Take a look at a few of their wares at the Flower Show market, and go to http:twigsterrariums.com to see more.
