My first encounter with a closed terrarium occurred in 2013 at the school where I worked as a secretary. It was love at first sight. I had to wait for 3 years to build my first terrarium and that was in Berlin, Germany where I lived and worked for 5 years. My first sale was in Berlin and that's where the story begins. I was designing and producing terrarium kits, handmade Midori notepads and mostly it was for sale on Etsy and for the local market in Berlin.
