Gardening Indoors: 3 Ways to Use the Beauty & Benefit of Glass
When gardening indoors consider adding a little glass to your decor. It helps shield the most tender of plants and adds a nice sparkle to the room. Here are three different ways you can add glass to your home with the beauty and living greenery of plants.
Cloches are bell-shaped glass covers used to protect plants outdoors from cold weather due to early and late frosts. Some say they originated in Italy however the bell shape is known to have come from early 17th century France. It’s no wonder that the name ‘Cloche’ comes from the french word for bell.
Hyacinth vases have been around since the 18th century when hyacinths took over for the tulip as the latest trend in decor. These hour-glass shaped vases are made specifically for forcing bulbs, allowing the roots to grow in the bottom portion without the actual bulb sitting in the water which would cause it to rot.
There are so many lovely terrarium containers on the market now. Some of them are like a mini-greenhouse and some are simple glass jars.
