The design
Each terrarium frame is made with cedar wood and copper piping and has digital sensors and integrated lighting controlled by smartphone app. The plants are housed in a beautifully designed structure that’s nearly self-sustaining.
“After all, plants improve our quality of life and nurture us on an everyday basis; we think it's only fair to nurture them in return,” it states on the Plant-In City website.
The modular design means that the individual ‘boxes’ can operate as independent terrariums, or “with extensive modular components to create a diverse ecosystem” like your own personal park.
Smart gardening
The technology behind these ‘smart’ terrariums is pretty mind-blowing. The plants are able to ‘speak’ about their wellbeing, making one sound if the soil is dry and another if it’s wet, as well as additional sounds for day, night, humidity and temperature levels.
Community gardens
These stunning installations – like community gardens for the digital age – look equally at home in galleries, public spaces, cultural institutions – or even apartments (just imagine!).
Or why not treat yourself to a smaller-scale terrarium from the new, super-stylish Plant-In MINI range.
If you don’t have the budget for one of these architecture designed terrariums, why not try making your own coffee pot or light bulb terrarium at home.
