Welcome to our little terrarium world

What are Terrariums & why should I add one to my home?

Terrariums are small, enclosed ecosystems. They can house a variety of different temperate and tropical plants and mosses. They are typically made from glass to allow the plants to photosynthesize incoming light.

Decorative Appeal

Terrariums can be creative and unique pieces of art in your home. They add a touch of nature and elegance to any room.

Versatility

All pieces are customizable. You can have terrariums ranging from small spice jars to large enclosures. They can be tailored to any space.

Low Maintenance

At Forge & Fern we strive to make our terrariums easy to care for. All our terrariums come with springtails and in some cases isopods. These special creatures are referred to as the clean-up crew. They ingest mold, debris, and organic matter. Their waste provides nutrients for the moss and plants.

Finding

your terrarium

Terrariums bring life and color into any space. They are a unique piece of art for your home.

Have a dark corner? No problem, we offer light fixtures to accompany terrariums placed in an area without natural light.

Our goal is to guide you to the piece that brings you joy. Let us take you on a journey where you can learn how small ecosystems can thrive in your home.

Our bioactive terrariums are lovingly crafted in Portland, Maine. We currently only serve Maine and surrounding areas.

About F&F

The owners, Max and Greg, live in the Portland, Maine area with their two hounds (Forge & Fisher). Described by many as “crazy dogs dads that would rather be in the woods.”

F&F began with Forge. One month after our wedding we walked into the Animal Refuge League of Portland and found little Forge. He was the craziest little guy. He required so much activity so we were forced to begin hiking everyday. Through our adventures we found a great respect for moss and the small ecosystems supporting them.

Forge & Fern Terrariums was born from our family adventures and are a reflection of what we discover in the woods of Maine.
