This week we were treated to a fun-filled experience by
Masons Home Decor. Mason as a company specialises in wood decor and has a wide array of furniture that are not just practical but also pleasing to the eye.
Masons claim to craft designer furniture of the highest grade of quality, while maintaining a very competitive price.
While they do specialise in wood furniture, they also have a section of home decor items from bean bags to bathroom accessories.
(Traditionally, terrariums are 'mini gardens' that are housed inside small and sometimes sealable containers.)
- 1 Set of Shovels
(The shovels were really cute and small, which was perfect for Aaryanna to use
and just the right size for working within the confines of a small space.)
- 1 Drip Bottle
- 1 Bag of Figurines
(Ours consisted of 2 Flamingos.)
- 3 Bags of Assorted Decorative Pebbles
- 1 Bag of Mix Soil
- 4 Assorted Succulents
(The succulents (and a cactus) each came in their own separate pot.)
- 2 Glass Jars
(The smaller one had a side opening and the other one was a bigger normal glass bowl.)
which gives us the option to store in case we don't finish using any of them.
Since the kit had everything we required to make the terrariums, there was no need to go out and get anything extra.
Of course, that's still an option if you want other things in your terrarium.
The only thing we needed was some newspaper on the floor so we could get our hands dirty and keep the floor clean.
The rest of the process was rather simple and laughter filled.
All we needed to do was to follow the instructions I got from the
website.
It was an enjoyable afternoon for Aaryanna and I.
Although the final products we created looked rather questionable (give chance la, we are not gardeners),
they are rather presentable and remains on display on our bookshelf.
Aaryanna has also been very excited to water it once a week and never misses to take them out for some sun.
While most of the process was fun, there were certain aspects of the kit I felt could be improved:
For example, the kit came without an instruction manual
which was something that we felt should be in the kit - I had to ask for it and search the website separately.
None of the items that were in the package were labelled,
though it was relatively easy to figure of what was what after looking at the instructions manual.
For the most part, we enjoyed the entire process of doing up the terrarium ourself and the plants themselves seem hardy and maintanence is easy, requiring just a little water every week.
Which I personally feel is great for people, like us, who do not have the green fingers :X
or if you're not much of a DIY person but would like to get your hands on a Terrarium,
