Toasterariums

As some of you know, I like to garden. I have a few containers (like the one above) that fall into the category of unusual. When my office decided to get together a team to create terrariums for the IIDA (International Interior Design Association), Northern CA chapter auction this year, I agreed to help out.

This year’s IIDA Northern California Chapter Philanthropic theme is 

The two faces of spring.

It may not be spring where you are. February in NorthAmerica usually isn't thought of as spring. Here in the Bay Area, we have had many lovely days of 70' degree weather, which will probably lead to drought later on. Meanwhile, the jonquils are popping up in my yard, gifts from a former self. If you are like me and deal with depression, planting flower bulbs in the fall can help when the darkness descends to spite the weather.
