Staghorn Fern (May 2011)
Terrarium 101 (April 2011)
Paxton Gate has always felt like the Mission’s own natural science museum: wall-mounted taxidermy,
spooky animal skulls, fossils. Now the store holds terrarium classes too.
Sixty bucks gets you two
hours with a plant pro plus all you’ll need to make your own botany bubble. Using forceps, students
pluck tiny succulents from pots and carefully nestle them into 6-inch glass globes, which you can take
home and hang over your kitchen window.
Register soon—classes are capped at 12, and they fill up months
in advance.
