Ephemera - Plants, Terrariums and Comics is a charming shop that has recently reopened after being closed for Covid. It is open every day from 11am to 6pm, with new plants stocked weekly. The shop offers a fun "Make Your Own Terrarium" experience for groups of up to four people, where no prior plant knowledge is needed. Staff guide visitors through each step to create their own mini world, which can be decorated at the station with gravels, mosses, woodsy bits, and tiny toys. Visitors can choose to make a sandy beach, cactus desert, or other creative scenes, making it a fun and interactive activity. The shop also offers take-home party kits for larger groups.
The atmosphere is welcoming, with helpful and friendly staff who ensure everyone has a good time. Customers appreciate the reasonable prices—around $30 to $50 per terrarium—and the decent plant selection. Many reviews highlight the patience and kindness of staff members, who assist with building and caring for the terrariums. The shop features a variety of succulents, including options with constant sunlight or temperature-controlled watering. Visitors often leave with a sense of fun and creativity, eager to return for bigger projects or to explore the wide range of decorations and plants. Overall, Ephemera offers a delightful experience for plant lovers and those looking for a unique, hands-on activity in a cozy setting overlooking historic Magnolia Ave.
