“Terrariums & You”
The Oklahoma Horticultural Society and Tulsa Garden Center will host a lecture “Terrariums & You” by Tovah Martin, one of the country’s best-known garden writers and lecturers. Ms. Martin will present her inspiring lecture on Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 7:00 pm at the Tulsa Garden Center, 2435 S. Peoria Ave.
When you need nature close by, houseplants are the answer. If you've always yearned to host houseplants, but failed - - this lecture will come to the rescue. The answer is crystal clear: Glass can serve as a solution to bond botany and you. With the aid of a terrarium, you can host nature almost anywhere - - in your parched apartment or your dim office cubicle. In addition, terrariums can be the ideal venue to bring nature into children's lives. These "small worlds" introduce beauty, botany, whimsy, sophistication, and sparkle into any decor, but these projects are also surprisingly inexpensive. Not only will we share all sorts of recycling ideas for enlisting everything from bases to cake stands, fishbowls, lemonade pitchers, cookie jars, etc., for growing plants and showcasing nature, but we'll demonstrate precisely how to work with glass enclosures of all types to incorporate green into your life, no matter how busy your schedule might be.
