We learned how to build our own terrariums / miniature mossy worlds!! We invited Art and Energy (artists, thinkers, makers and tinkerers responding to the climate emergency) to lead us on a stroll around Blockhouse park, exploring the world through an energy lens, collecting mosses and tiny plants, and then returning to the community centre to get creative!
We learned about how important moss is as a type of carbon sink – that helps to counteract greenhouse gas emissions. Everyone made their very own terrarium – a miniature green world in a jam jar which you can take home to enjoy on your windowsill.
Here’s some photos from the session:
