A Family Guide to Terrariums for Kids: Imagination-inspiring Projects to Grow a World in Glass - Build a mini ecosystem!

This book was raved about by lots of terrarium makers, saying it’s good for adults too, so I bought it - however I had already done quite a bit of research about terrarium making beforehand, and unfortunately this book did not cover any more than I already knew! I think it’s a good book if you’re just introducing yourself to terrariums but not for novices (of which i have seen it recommended). I thought the layout (even for kids) could be a bit better when addressing terrarium plants and give us tips on how to look after each/what they need in tables & diagrams, however it’s mostly written in paragraphs. However I am happy to support Patricia, she makes great terrariums and has so much knowledge, so I hope she can create an in-depth book for adults!

I got a Terrarium kit and glass jar for my birthday so decided to buy this book as I hadn’t created one before. It is so good and breaks down all the areas you wish to know about into very concise, simple steps. Not to complicated and I read it all within an hour and then felt prepared to start my creation.Says it’s for kids but for me it’s just for beginners and the perfect book if you are just starting out.

Brand new book. Good introductory book and easy to go through if you want to start learning about terraniums with several pictures to illustrate steps to follow

A present for my granddaughter.

This book breaks it down into easy and simple steps to create some lovely terrariums.
