Terrariums
Traveling Workshop Instructor Maria Colletti makes designing your very own interior gardens easy with step-by-step photos of over twenty of her own terrarium designs in her book,
Terrariums, Gardens under Glass.
You'll get all the information you need about terrarium plants, Tillandsia (air plants), creeping fig, succulents, ferns, and mosses.
Growing collections of miniature plants in glass vessels is a great way to bring the outdoors inside and get back in touch with nature—no matter where you live or what time of year it is.
Terrariums are a wondrous combination of nature, gardening, and home décor. Terrarium building is both therapeutic and inspirational. Whether you reside in a tiny apartment or spend your day at a computer indoors.
Be Biophilic! Just be better connected to green living things.
Love your page! ❤️ keep up the great work and continue inspiring with your incredible content 👏👏👏

A Terrarium Savant
Hello, I am Maria Colletti, author of Terrariums: Gardens under Glass and a traveling workshop instructor. I had a dream and it came true.
WORKSHOPS
I love to teach workshops. The joy on people's faces is wonderful. I am so excited about this green life. It is great to share my designs and terrarium craft.
I have spent my professional life working at the New York Botanical Garden, as Shop Manager, and teaching the 'Living Décor' terrarium series with Adult Education.
Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum hosts my workshops in their conservatory room. Spend a dreamy afternoon in a delightfully sunny room with citrus trees and ferns! This sunroom is featured in my book, Living Décor which is about houseplant care, styling, and terrarium building.
