Terrariums: bringing a hint of the backyard inside

If you don't have a backyard or a window box to vouch for, (or even if you do) a terrarium is a good way to bring the outdoors in. Not to mention it's pretty to look at. Take your pick from these glass-enclosed options, or better yet, get creative ideas to make your own. And, the best part? No green thumb required.
