Nature in miniature

Have you ever seen a pocket-sized garden? Terrariums are a great way to learn about nature.

You’ve seen aquariums, which are glass containers housing fish. But have you seen glass containers for plants? Terrariums are miniature gardens grown inside clear glass containers. They usually contain soil, small plants, moss, and sometimes decorative items like pebbles, sand, or tiny figurines.
