I purchased a bunch of these clear glass ornaments on clearance last Christmas. The possibilities are endless for these ornaments, one idea I had was to create a terrarium. The round glass encapsulates the plant well and the clear glass just makes it look so sophisticated and modern. The one warning I do have is that it is a little complicated to get the small rosemary clipping positioned into the hole. The rosemary may outgrow this glass bowl in a month (or may not even survive), but I still love how it looks. Rosemary is very easy to propagate, just clip young growth, remove bottom leaves and place into soil. The clipping should root in a few weeks. For this terrarium, I propagated rosemary a month earlier and transplanted into this ornament.

| Fill ornament with soil, add a little water, and using a paint brush I cleaned the sides of the ornament and compacted the a little before placing the rosemary plant inside. I don't know if it will survive, but I'll keep you posted. |
