The first terrarium was an accidental invention ?!
Terrarium has become such a well know term that the majority of people I interact with at our market stalls know something about the term or at least how it works to some extent. I love seeing the excitement awaken in passersby... "hey babe, look there, its those things... you know its like a ecosystem in a bottle". You then realize that opposites do attract as the average response from the other half usually goes something like... "those things won't survive, this guy is trying to sell us dreams". I absolutely love watching this scenario play out.. But then, some couples are both amazed and feel that they have to ask me how this poor plant could ever survive in...
