Sustainable Terrariums
Discover ways to live more sustainably in this hand-on program. You will learn how a terrarium functions as its own tiny ecosystem -- and create one using a re-used container. Participants should bring a clean, empty glass container such as a wide-mouthed jar or any clear evenly shaped glass container. (Larger jars tend to work best.) All other materials for building your terrarium will be provided.
Join us for a fun, eco-friendly evening and take home your own living creation! This event takes place Wednesday, August 20th from 6:00-7:30pm. Sign up here: Terrariums
