Terrarium Workshop
A terrarium is a small green space that is created in a transparent container, either open or closed, consisting of various plants and other materials. As “mini gardens” that can be enjoyed indoors by anyone, terrariums are becoming increasingly popular. The plants that you can use range from air plants to mosses, succulents, cacti, and more. The accessories or decorative materials that are used along with the plants are also varied – stones, shells, wood chips – the choice is unlimited. Completed terrariums can be used to brighten up your décor and enjoy all year long. They also make great gifts for the holidays. Join a Master Gardener volunteer to learn how to make your own terrarium to bring home with you. This will be a “hands-on” workshop
About Linda Levitt
Linda is not a stranger to this area. Many family members owned property here in Copake and Craryville as far back as the 1930s. She spent many hours here visiting her Grandparents and extended family. She moved to Copake full-time in December 2014, after retiring from the insurance industry. She owned her own insurance agency for 30 years with a specialty in employee benefits. She always loved gardening and in 2014 she became a Master Gardener Volunteer. She has since earned an advanced certification in horticulture and landscape design from Berkshire Community College and Berkshire Botanical Garden. She sits on the Board of Directors of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene counties. She volunteers as a docent at the Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge, MA. She is also a member of the Germantown Garden Club. She has designed containers and gardens for clients here in Hudson Valley.
Additional Notes: Terrariums in general can be made in open or closed clear glass containers. In this class, we will be making OPEN glass terrariums ONLY. The reason for this is we will be using cacti and succulents, which do not do well in humid environments encouraged by closed glass terrariums. If you plan to bring your own container in which to plant a terrarium, it must be an open glass container. (PLEASE NOTE: CONTAINER SHOULD BE LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD 3 TINY PLANTS AND YOU CAN GET YOUR HAND INTO)
