This week’s event with Energy2028 First-Year Eco-Breaks is Terrarium Making! 

Since it’s probably too cold for you to garden outside now, we are offering you an opportunity to indoor garden with terrariums, giving your room some greenery and life while the leaves slowly fall outside. 

What is a terrarium? A terrarium is a small, typically sealed container, and has a base of gravel, charcoal, moss, and soil. This environment supports the growth of a miniature garden of moisture-loving plants. The plants draw moisture from the soil and evaporate it through their leaves, through transpiration. Water droplets form and drip down the sides of the container, returning to the soil. This process mimics nature’s water cycle, and sustains plant life. 

Here’s a picture of what you could have! 

Terrariums can look like a fairy garden, with pebble paths, toadstools on mossy hills, tucked away cottages, and animals peering through lush foliage. It can also look like a woodland hike that you miss, with plants like ivy, bugleweed, baby tears and peperomia. 

We will provide all the supplies you need to unleash your imagination at this very moment! All you need to do is sign up and we will deliver the supplies to your dorm!
