Woodland Terrarium Workshop November 20, 2010

Create a mini-woodland garden gem to enjoy during the long winter months. Participants will design construct woodland terrarium using native woodland plants including moss, maiden hair spleenwort ferns (Asplenium trichomanes), downy rattlesnake orchid (Goodyera pubescens) and evergreen ground cover (Gaulteria procumbens, or Mitchella repens). You will come away with an understanding of these native plants, their natural histories, life cycles and cultivation requirements. Although all these plants can be found in the woods, students will be using plant material that has been grown by a reliable nursery source.
