Terrarium Creations

Help me give my students the supplies to make their very own terrariums.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gilbert's classroom raised $163

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am hoping to get supplies to make terrariums with my students. We will be repurposing glass pickle jars to create individual terrariums for each student. They will make and keep these terrariums.

I am happy to provide the plants for my students but we still need supplies such as potting soil, plant charcoal, window screens and other resources for this project.

These supplies are needed in order for my students to make their own terrariums.

Any amount will help us towards this goal. I appreciate you taking the time to look at our project and considering supporting our classroom through this Donor’s Choose project!
