Terrarium Trend

I am loving the terrarium moment that has been out there for a while now. I remember an earlier wave of terrarium trend many years ago, when instead of a dirt bed there were repetitive layers of different colored sand! Anyone?
I'm SO glad that that particular element has not made the leap this time around.
I'm personally partial to the more simply made varieties, the ones that highlight only one or two beautiful plants, and some of the take-offs on the trend - like simply covering a pretty plant with a cloche. Cover something with glass and it is magically elevated to new heights of interest! Why is that?
If you're thumbs are less than green, Hudson in Boston and Wellesley has some really beautiful examples, planted in a variety of fantastic vessels.
And for fun, click on Lynzariums in their Blog roll to see how they are created!
