Post Earth Day Fun

With Earth Day just behind us you might want to take the time to create a little biosphere in your own home.    

There are a number of approaches to building an indoor plant enclosure and we have even tried a few here at Cardin (bio-domes in two liter bottles).

My personal favorite, however, are terrariums.  You can buy them pre-made at home centers or gardening stores but it is much more fun to make your own.  Here are two really great “instructables” that I’ve found to get you through the process.

Good luck!
