The Oldest Sealed Bottle Garden

Unbelievable Sealed Bottled Gardens Ideas

In 1960, a British gentleman, Mr David Latimer, created the world’s oldest Terrarium inside a 10-gallon bottle with a little compost and a few water drops. He planted spiderworts seedlings, which then grew to create their own ecosystem–a mini atmosphere.

The terrarium was last watered in 1972 and has been thriving and green since then. The mini ecosystem has been placed 6 feet from the window in the same spot for the last 27 years, taking its own care, says Latimer.
