review 1: My daughter is a crafter and she loves making arrangements of various things so this book jumped out at me when it appeared in my Recommendations. I requested it and was not disappointed. My daughter (who is 8) has gone through this book several times and made lists of all the things she wanted to use. We didn't recreate any terrariums from this book but it certainly inspired us. In the past week she has made at least a dozen terrariums, all with glass items from around the house or from Goodwill. She's used everything from shells and hemp rope to raw sugar and plastic rings (many of ours are temporary terrariums) and has had so much fun.
review 2: Not only is this book lovely to look at, but it also gives a lot of useful advice. Of particular interest are the ... moredescriptions of care and treatment of various types of terrarium-worthy plants and the descriptions of soil mixes. This book will be useful to those who want to try out a terrarium as well as those who want to learn a little bit more about exotic houseplants. I certainly saw a few I've never seen before! I think this will be a good source of inspiration whether the reader attempts to follow one of the terrarium patterns or simply uses the quite helpful plant and care information to try their own thing. less
