Terrarium Time at Mercer Botanic Gardens

Nature lovers ages 10 and up are invited to Mercer Botanic Gardens on July 19, from 10:00 to 11:30 AM for Terrarium Time, a free, hands-on workshop where participants will learn how to build and care for a living terrarium.

Held inside the Mercer Visitor Center, this interactive class is perfect for anyone interested in DIY gardening projects, indoor plants, or miniature ecosystems. Participants are asked to bring a one-gallon glass container with a lid, while all other materials—including soil, charcoal, shale, plant material, and decorative elements—will be provided at no cost.

• Step-by-step guidance on terrarium setup
• Tips for plant selection, maintenance, and ecosystem balance
• Hands-on experience creating your own self-sustaining plant habitat
