SSM: How to make a terrarium

One of the best things about our studio is the gorgeous glass collections! We have just about any color and shape you could imagine! A while back we spotted this beauty:


Earlier this week we decided to play around and make a few terrariums as Lisa from Sweet Pea Flowers will be creating succulent centerpieces and bouquets for an upcoming wedding.

Our favorite place to shop for succulents in the Denver area is Southwest Gardens in Wheat Ridge. Kerry, the owner, is so in tune to his plants and incredibly knowledgeable. He grows all of his own succulents and has a very impressive selection.










We kept our terrariums basic using a thin layer of charcoal and a thicker layer of dirt, topping everything off with a big drink of water.













Arrangements created by Sweet Pea Flowers. For more info call (303) 297-1899 or visit sweetpea-flowers.com
