While Twig Terrariums of Brooklyn is helping us spread the good word on these miniature worlds under glass, I thought I’d spotlight the NYBG’s very own terrarium specialist. Maria Colletti has been designing self-contained biomes of moss, desert plants, tropical flowers and other unique environments for several years, artfully hand-building each terrarium—both opened and closed—that we sell at our Shop in the Garden.

Whether you’re looking for a complete terrarium to take home during your visit, or the input and supplies necessary to create your own from scratch, I can’t recommend Maria enough. She’s an archive of knowledge when it comes to this sort of thing. —MN
