So April has been a busy month, despite the current lockdown situation I have moved to a bigger house, added several new products and made a whole host of new terrariums, as well as still holding down my full time job as a night support worker for adults with autism and raising a 1 year old! April has been a fantastic month in terms of growth for our micro business, we launched out first social media competition and saw our numbers grown on both facebook and insagram nearly 4 fold! So a massive thank you for everyone who took part in that and to everybody who is following us on social media, I will continue to keep your feeds updated with interesting content and news of what's going on here. Moving to a larger house has given me more room to grow the business, I have built a new racking system fitted with plant grow LED Lights to grow out terrariums and cultivate mosses and plant cuttings for terrarium builds and to supply on the website. The isopods now have their own room and we have added 8 new species to the collection which have already started to produce young. This month we have launched a full range of substrates and terrarium necessity's such as drainage balls, drainage mesh and activated carbon and a full DIY kit that contains everything you need to get started on your own terrarium builds. We are now working on an aquatic terrarium kit with an expected release date in may. During the lockdown I set myself a challenge to create a terrarium everyday for a whole week, and boy was it a challenge trying to fit my full time job in aswell as keeping up with all our orders. Below is a sample of a few of the terrariums we made for this challenge. I would just like to say a big thank you to all our customers for their support a and feedback over the past few months, we have so much more planned for the year and cannot wait to share it with you all.
