Lucious ten inch bubble bowl, with neoregelia, ruby red spike moss selaginella, tillandsias filifolia, feather moss, tillandsias bulbosaaverage cost for 10 inch
I’ve got a lot of cool plants ready for you to make your own terrarium, so book your time now, space is limited.
For $100, you can plant a 10 inch bubble bowl with exotic miniature tropical plants from my collection while learning about the art and science of building and maintaining terrariums. Everything you need is provided, although I suggest you bring your own special crystals or trinkets, minerals, etc. to build your world.
Workshops will be held at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm on Saturday March 10 and Sunday March 11. Only two people per time slot unless you have a group of friends who want to play and learn together.
Give me a call at 901-828-3685 or send a message below for more info and to reserve your time.
The base price of $50 includes the gravel, activated carbon, sphagnum moss, and my special soil mix designed for use in terrariums, plus detailed instructions and information from the Memphis Plant Lady herself, who will always be available to answer any questions you may have as your little green friend grows and changes. I have some very nice plastic bowls, about 8 inches in diameter, that can be included in the base fee, but glass is much more elegant.
Workshops will be conducted in my studio at 700 North Belvedere in Midtown Memphis on
Saturday September 24, 2016, at 2:00 p.m.
Sunday September 25, 2016,
at 12:30 p.m. or 4:00 p.m.
Here’s how it works:
I collect and propagate miniature exotic tropical plants suitable for low light and high humidity conditions, for use in my living art creations, and my mini-greenhouses are popping their tops with an abundance of extras, so I’m having a build your own workshop to share the largesse. If you want to learn the art and science of designing, building, and maintaining these miniature rainforests from an expert, don’t miss this opportunity.
I’ll show you how to customize the terrarium to suit your space and taste by your choice of glassware, plants, and accessories.
Plants cost $5 to $15 each (most are $5 but for the true collector I have a few rare gems I can share).
I suggest you buy your own glass in advance for better price and selection. I’ll have a limited variety of sizes and shapes of glassware on hand, from $10 to $60 or so dollars. Make sure the glass is clear, no ripples or waves, and that you can get your hand easily through the opening; it should be at least 10 inches deep; it must be watertight; remember it will be much heavier going home, so not too big.
Accessories are things like geodes and crystals, petrified wood, fairies or dinosaurs. Again, bring your own to make it just how you want it, or buy some from my huge stash of little interesting things. No metal or plaster items are suitable.
You can make more than one; an additional charge for the planting substrates may apply. Send me a message at the link below or call me at 901-828-3685. Hope to see you there! Nancy Morrow
Space is limited to 4 people for each workshop, so sign up today, then go buy a cool glass container and come have fun playing in the dirt with us.
Pick your glass; pick your plants, play in the dirt, and leave with a new little friend to show everyone. Open the top, smell the rainforest, and be transported.
Glassware should be sturdy, clear, and with an opening large enough for a hand filled with dirt. A clear top is also nice
Fittonia, hemigraphis, and selaginella
Neoregelia – nice jungle look, looks like it would get big but not much more than this. And button fern, so sweet
Pilea comes in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and colors, all gorgeous and like something from outer space!
