Back in 1984, plant terrariums were all the rage. My mom loved her trendy, stylish 80’s décor and because of that our family home was littered with them!
Then the 90’s hit and the love for mini indoor gardens expired. Terrariums, like avocado green appliances, were out… And homes became stark and stuffy.
But it’s 2015 and the glassy forest is BACK!
From Home & Garden Shows to Home Décor Magazines, they all agree… It’s time to get a little green in your life. And this February 26th to March 1st, one of the most exciting features at the Calgary Home & Garden Show will be workshops on how to build your own indoor mini garden terrarium!
Earlier this week, I stopped by Blue Grass Nursery to find out more about this incredibly easy way to liven up your home and even had a chance to get dirt under my nails and build one myself!
And I LOVED IT!!!
I have now become my mother, and each room in my home is adorned with one of these beautiful O² enhanncers!
But before I use up all the plants and supplies, I want you to have your very own!
SO I’m going to give you a chance to not only go to this year’s Home & Garden Show… But I’ll even take care of the $40 registration so you can build and take home your own self made terrarium!
You’ll have 2 ways to enter!

I loved the Jelly shoes and the chia pets!
As a child of the 90’s I am not sure, but I do love some big hair and definitely want to add a terrarium to my home decor!
New kids On the block and neon fanny packs. And look! They are all still kickin it ! Xo
At the time I was big on banana clips and big bangs.
Neon clothes and flip flops. Apple 2e computers.
Had to be the fashion trends. Shoulder pads and leg warmers:)
Mismatched neon legwarmers and the side ponytail

Fanny packs!
brass and super large window treatments would be my 80s home style favs.
I was an 80’s baby and I absolutely loved the Care Bears!
I would have to say favorite 80’s fad was Hyper-Color shirts. It didn’t take long for people to figure out your armpits were the first thing to change, the whole neighbourhood could see you were sweating! Hahaha!!!
