What are terrariums?
Are you ready to start gardening? Design and build a small ecosystem in your classroom by creating your own unique terrarium. Terrariums are miniature gardens, usually grown in glass or plastic containers that provide an easy, low-maintenance way to enjoy plants in the classroom. An excellent learning tool, terrariums can help children understand photosynthesis, the water cycle, and even water conservation.
