From the age of 15, she had a successful career in fine art and mural painting, often choosing plants and nature as her preferred subject matter. Looking for a chance to work more closely with nature, Patricia founded her terrarium-making business in 2008, and through trial and error has become an expert in her craft. Both by experimentation and research, she perfected how to best create and care for planted terrariums, while at the same time using her artist background to create realistic miniature landscapes using live mosses and other tiny plant life.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cool Springs Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50859392598290,"sku":"9780760367346","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_00d18682-16c1-4f70-9504-97a2dfcd2b34.jpg?v=1737557109","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-family-guide-to-terrariums-for-kids-imagination-inspiring-projects-to-grow-a-world-in-glass-build-a-mini-ecosystem-9780760367346","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
