On The Ledge | Grow houseplants with the experts10 Syys

What happens when you add animals to a terrarium?

Jane Perrone talks with Adam Critien aka @earthchampion about the joys and challenges of keeping plants and animals under glass, from simple terrariums to more advanced vivariums and paludariums. Where do you start? What can go wrong? And why do animals add such interest when kept under glass with plants? Plus Adam talks about the award-winning show garden he built with Alina Hibbert at this year's RHS Malvern Show - Back to Grandma's House.
