Join San Francisco-based artist Joshua Moreno as we investigate ideas of cultivation and familial histories by making terrariums. Like the Japanese-Californian citrus that appears in the work of artist Kelly Akashi, some plants are hybridized and carefully cultivated, while others, like weeds, sprout resiliently on their own. Akashi explores these ideas through her sculpture, investigating plant life as a metaphor for family.

What is a terrarium? | A terrarium is a miniature, self-contained ecosystem enclosed within a transparent container, typically made of glass or plastic. It houses small plants, moss, or succulents, creating a visually appealing and low-maintenance indoor garden. The enclosed environment allows for a natural water cycle, with moisture evaporating from the plants and then condensing on the container walls, sustaining the plants within the sealed space.
