Family Holiday Giftmaking Workshop: Windowsill Terrariums

Free to members or with admission to the sculpture garden. Younger children should work with an adult.

Lynden is offering a series of holiday giftmaking workshops between November 22 and December 14. They range from simple activities suitable for families with smaller children to more advanced workshops for adults. To enhance the celebratory spirit, we will have light refreshments available for participants. Whether you are making a gift for yourself or another, these workshops should provide a cheerful atmosphere for art making as we head into winter. To see a complete list of holiday giftmaking workshops, visit our Workshops page.

Give the gift of the sculpture garden--or at least a tiny bit of it. Holiday season is upon us and we will be making terrariums—miniature environments— that will recall warmer seasons when displayed on your windowsill. Choose among small glass bottles and vials to create your own unique, hand-made gift. Select dried materials that require no attention or construct a living terrarium that will grow with your care. (Note that living terrariums require at least 8 hours of indirect sunlight and water 3-5 times a week.) Package your windowsill garden with a Lynden membership for a gift that lasts all year long.
