Then, using a variety of plants, choose to make a terrarium or a succulents garden to take away for indoor (terrarium or a succulents garden) or outdoor (hardy succulents garden) use. A variety of recycled and new containers will be available for your use. Choose the garden you prefer to make and let your child create a fun growing miniature to take away. A perfect centerpiece for the Thanksgiving table! Age: 6+ years
