The fine folks at Dabney’s Nursery invited me to bring some terrariums for sale this Saturday and I said, HECK YEAH!!! There’ll be mule drawn carriage tours of the nursery, BBQ, a petting zoo, and live music by Delta Joe Sanders. Who could ask for more on a beautiful October afternoon?
So, in between all of that fun stuff, step inside the gift shop to see my new creations. I have a variety of smaller terrariums, some that can hang in a kitchen window, and will bring a few larger guys, too. Also, a good variety of healthy, happy tillandsias (air plants), a few terrarium kits, and a “build your own” for kids while supplies last!
Dabney’s is located at 5576 Hacks Cross Road; I’ll be there from 11 am to 4 pm, so come on down and visit a while. Got a question? Give me a holla at 901-828-3685.

Kokedama for Elegant Greenery All Winter
Creeping ficus
Kokedama are a form of bonsai, and make an elegant, unusual display for plant enthusiasts. The soil mix for the root ball is long fiber sphagnum moss, a special soil mix, and potters clay. It is covered in live moss, then wrapped securely with waxed thread. Put them where they will get bright morning light, or dappled afternoon sunshine. Try to heavily mist the moss every day for best results, and soak the root ball every week or so. Wait till you can feel it becoming lightweight, then soak thoroughly till it draws water all the way to the top. Don’t let it stay saturated, it will suffocate.

Or, best of all, book an afternoon Build a Terry party for mom and a crew to get their hands in the dirt and make their own living art to enjoy for years to come.
