Terrarium
Terrariums are a great idea because they add a mini garden to any indoor space, no matter the season outside. Make your own to adorn a desk or to serve as a dining table centerpiece. Just be sure to keep it in a well-lit area away from a major heat source, like a radiator or fireplace.

Living Succulent Picture
A framed succulent picture acts in two ways: As a vertical garden and as a piece of artwork. The low water requirements of succulents make this piece easy to care for. As a bonus, Cara and Will Meyers of DIG Gardens in Santa Cruz give tips on vertical gardening.
