BOTANICAL DINING

Mar 23, 2021Clare Bridson
With the botanical trend sweeping through 2017 and leaving a fern filled path in its wake, we thought we’d take a look at how you can incorporate this green fingered fashion into your dining experience.

There’s no better way to bring the outdoors in than by introducing a few choice plants to your home or cafe. I hear you asking though ‘what if I can’t keep a plant alive?!’ With what we have in mind you can’t go wrong. The Victorian terrarium trend is making a massive come back and with their low maintenance nature, even the least green fingered of us can have a thriving little plant at the centre of our dinner service!

Mason Jar Terrariums

A simple and cheap place to start in producing your own terrarium is with a Mason Jar or an ordinary jar. These containers make low-cost and effective plant terrariums without compromising on style. The iconic look of the traditional mason jar is perfectly suited to a modernised take on the traditional terrarium. With Mason Jars coming in a range of sizes, you can make this work as a counter top eye catcher or as a simple table centerpiece. Choose how big a statement you want to make then find out how to put one together here.
