We host the Garden Club of Orange for this program with prolific author and gardening expert Tovah Martin. When you need nature close by, houseplants are the answer. And if  you’ve always yearned to host houseplants, but failed – this lecture will  come to the rescue. The answer is crystal clear: Glass can serve as a  solution to bond botany and you. With the aid of a terrarium, you can  host nature almost anywhere – in your parched apartment or your dim  office cubicle. In addition, terrariums can be the ideal venue to bring  nature into children’s lives. These “small worlds” introduce beauty,  botany, whimsy, sophistication, and sparkle into any decor, but these  projects are also surprisingly inexpensive. Not only will we share all sorts  of recycling ideas for enlisting everything from vases to cake stands, fishbowls, lemonade pitchers, cookie jars, etc for growing plants &  showcasing nature. Recommendations for plant selection, care, and  maintenance will be shared. This lecture demonstrates precisely how to  work with glass enclosures of all types to incorporate green into your life,  no matter how busy your schedule might be. In her constant, undying  pursuit of all things garden-related, Tovah Martin gets her hands dirty both outside  and indoors. She is a perennial heirloom, vegetable & cottage gardener  of fanatical proportion & accredited with NOFA as an Organic Land  Care Professional. She is the author of more than a dozen books & countless  articles in regional and national publications. She also appears regularly  on tv & radio. www.tovahmartin.com
