Gnome Terrarium Workshop: Fall Succulents | Katie O'Byrne's, Schenectady NY
Build a little gnome world in an 8" glass bowl: succulents, moss, fall details, and a gnome of your own tucked in among the plants. Everything is provided and it comes home with you that night.
What you'll build
Everyone's terrarium gets a gnome. What that gnome is doing in there is entirely your business.
You'll build a gnome terrarium in an 8" glass bubble bowl. Succulents in warm fall tones, moss, stone, seasonal details, and a gnome to live in it. Some people build a tidy little garden. Some build a whole scene. Both are correct, and no two leave the same.
