Green Room Garden Art: Build a Terrarium at the Great Smokies Flea Market

About

Green Room Garden Art turns a flea market stop into a small hands-on project. The plant booth sits inside the Great Smokies Flea Market in Kodak, near I-40, and specializes in succulents, cacti and do-it-yourself terrariums. It is a calm, creative break from shopping the aisles, and a finished terrarium makes a living souvenir that travels home far better than a cut flower.

Start by choosing a container, then head to the unlimited toppings bar, stocked with colored sands, rocks, mosses and more, and build your own open terrarium. At last posting, an 8-inch terrarium was $35 and a 9-inch was $45, each including a credit toward plants and other merchandise. The booth keeps more than 100 varieties of greenhouse-grown succulents and cacti, sold singly or in small bundles, plus hanging baskets and trailing plants such as string of pearls and spider plants.

Find the booth at C-22-23 inside the Great Smokies Flea Market at 220 W Dumplin Valley Road, where parking is free and the aisles are indoors. The booth keeps weekend hours that follow the market, generally Friday afternoon and Saturday and Sunday from mid-morning to 5 PM; times can shift week to week, so check the Facebook page for the current schedule and restocks. Kids enjoy the terrarium bar with a little adult help.
