In France, we are very famous for putting small garden under glass or Un Terrarium.....Jardin sous verre. We use them a lot in apartments...in Paris. One great idea to use flowers from Mother's day :) This is also a great center piece or gift on the small scale.
I made this one a Fairy garden under glass...

This is a very cheap way to make a garden.....A cloche Garden also is very pretty......Some Cloches come with a bowl base...Perfect.....Today i chose one of my big glass container...
I grabbed some African Violets.....Choose any plants good in shade...
Irish Moss...
Orchid...Make sure it is a small one to fit the Jar...
I filled the Jar with some dirt...Miracle grow here...
Add some water and wait for the dirt to absorb it...
Start planting....The Orchid stayed in it's pot...The rest was planted...
whenever i can find little figurines to paint...I grab them. Little Angels are perfect for this....I have the kids paint them...
Here goes the little Fairy...
If i can find little bird houses...I grab them too..
All set and pretty...
Very fun to make...
Do not water too much...Once in a while...
The African violet need some air and less water than the moss. Make sure you don't water too much and open the lid :)
If you get mildew spray with a mix of water and antiseptic mouth wash.

Very neat idea. And so nicely containe :) I was repotting house plants this weekend and trying to figure out how to change the look a bit. May steal this one.
A very interesting way of gardening. How long can the plants live in it? Valerie

Great idea! Would be something fun to try next winter when days are dark and dreary!
Have a beautiful day!
This is wonderful, I love it. I have been experimenting with terrarium. I love doing it

Gardening...Plant live way longer because it is like a Mini green house...I water less often and they flourish.. So glad you all like it!

My timing was perfect!!! I hopped onto your blog for the very 1st time ~ just as I was debating what to do with an African Violet that DD gave me last year ~ it's growing out of the original pot and I want to do something special with it!!! This is it!!! Love your blog...I'm a new follower! I make shabby vintage greeting cards. take a look :D

I am not good with plants unless they grow wild in the field. I love what you have done and may give it a try once more.
Great tutorial. Terrariums are great, and your little fairy land is adorable.
