Honestly, such a random shop but we stumbled on this spot early in the day and actually came back later just to buy and create our own terrariums. Prices are reasonable (let's be honest, the margins must be insane given the greenery grows itself) and staff are friendly. Nice, off-the-beaten-path activity to do in Portland.

Warm jungle atmosphere with super tasty homemade snacks… many of them from Anna’s family recipes. Snag a beer and build a custom green space. If that’s not your thing, you can choose from a huge variety of well maintained plants to take home and lively up your space.

If you or someone you know is struggling with a plant addiction, you could begin counseling or therapy with a terrarium professional to discuss and process your feelings. Or, you might consider joining a terrarium workshop group.  Visit their website and book an appointment today.  Walk-ins also also welcome if you don't know when you'll get there because you also have trouble managing your local handmade pottery addiction and are browsing the myriad of pottery stores nearby.

We walked into this place without really knowing what it was, and left with a beautiful terrarium we created ourselves. I've been meaning to start a terrarium, but they're a bit of a science experiment and require some knowledge to get the right balance-- and perfect balance is required for those incredible systems you see that have been sealed for 30+ years! The two Robs we spoke to were so friendly and helpful, and answered all our questions without overwhelming us. They made it so easy to start building without worrying about the science, and were happy to explain reasons for specific the materials, plants, and critters they provided.This was also a really great value: cheaper than if I had decided to make one by myself, and it came with expert guidance!I don't know if the terrarium we built will survive for 30 years, but I'm confident it'll be around for a very long time.

Loved this! I walked in with my husband, looked around, and the next thing we knew we were building our own terrariums on the fly. The owner was super cool and answered all questions we had to help us leave with some really cool terrariums! 10/10 will come back!

Awesome plant shop for indoor plant shopping and for plant themed birthday parties. The owner is very knowledgeable. Lots of inspirational ideas and great selection. Hope our plants will be as happy in their new home.

Super cute place with a relaxing atmosphere! The owner was incredibly friendly and makes an amazing guacamole. When you're done eating you can make a terrarium too...highly recommend this hidden gem!

We stumbled into Terrarium on our way back from the super busy area of Portland down by the water, having been unsuccessful in our trip to Portland. We heard some music and saw some plants, so we poked around. The owner was super great, the pico was 11/10 and the guacamole....?? 15/10. Phenomenal. We decided not to make a terrarium ourselves (but I guess you can take one back on your lap on the plane?) but we would absolutely visit this place again for the snacks and the guac.

My husband and I were staying in Portland on vacation and looked for things to do on a rainy day. I HIGHLY recommend taking time to stop at Terrarium during ANY type of weather. Both owners were welcoming, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the process to build a terrarium. I learned to take better care of some houseplants, too.We walked in a bit intimidated about the process but were immediately put at ease. We walked out with an awesome looking terrarium. I suggest you order peanut butter bars to snack on while you create!We will be back the next time we take the journey from NY to ME and will spread the word about this awesome establishment.

One of the coolest things in town! You can go in and make your own terrarium or get one of their pre made ones or just get plants! Super good plant selection. They said they will have a full liquor license and food too, so you can eat and drink and make a terrarium.

Owners are very knowledgeable and helped me find a plant from a specific part of the world for a friend and found me the perfect plant for my new home office. Highly recommend!
