The cutest plant shop with wonderful terrarium classes! Highly recommend for a girls night out activity! My friends and I booked a terrarium class at Ephemera and had a wonderful experience! The class is about an hour long and includes a walk through of the plants, step-by-step instructions on how to build the terrarium, and an opportunity to personalize your little garden. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and friendly! He was patient with us and did a great job demoing each step. I love all the little figurines you can add and that the prices range based on what you want. Looking forward to my next class! read more

I'd been wanting to visit Ephemera forever, and I ended up going at the perfect time. It's wasn't too too busy on a weekday late afternoon. It was just lively enough -- there was a couple making a pretty large terrarium together and a handful of others who came in and out to buy a small plant or little knickknack, and this shop is bursting with both. You'll find all kinds of beautiful houseplants (will yours live in the sun or shade?), a variety of containers (terrariums!) in every size and shape, and endless decorative goodies to personalize your new plant-home with: crystals, pebbles, dried flowers and leaves, tiny toys and figurines, glitter and gemstones. For $25 you can choose a small plant, a small terrarium, and then have access to a specific assortment of decorative items. You can purchase any other knickknacks and doodads that speak to you, haha. They seriously have tiny figurine versions of everything... animals, superheroes, food items, zombies and aliens, cars, cartoon characters, seasonal stuff. I chose a little witch and tiny barn owl to add to my terrarium. It's the cutest thing ever! And the guy who sold it to me and walked me through the whole process was really cool and funny. He made everyone in the store feel comfortable and proud of what they were doing, haha, but he didn't hover! He was just a cool guy who seemed to like his job, which is really nice to see. I have so many ideas for more terrariums, both for both myself and as gifts!! I'll be back soon. read more

Such a cute plant shop. We just stopped in for a little plant for a glass terrarium that we were making at the glass blowing shop down the street. But we noticed you can make your own terrarium. They had lots of vessels to choose from with different price options. Tons of plants and cute things to add. I'm sure I'll be back I love plants and making your our terrarium workshops! read more

We had such an amazing time! It's such a cute shop with a variety of plants. You go through a class with the owner of how to make your own terrarium then finish off with options of adding additional figurines and decorations to it. Highly recommended! read more

This is one great little plant shop, buried on the corner of a little strip center on Magnolia. I had an extra day off and (because I'm into her) recommended we go by this place that came up on a search for new restaurants to try. Plants aren't so much my thing, but I deeply appreciate the time and patience she puts into the flourishing fauna inside and outside our home. So, off we went to see what's up at Ephemera. The store is small and packed with thriving, vibrant plants in cool little spaces. All of them are ragingly happy and colorful. Living with a plant person, you start talking about plant's in terms of human emotions. Idk, it just rubs off. So, yeah. The plants here are really joyful. I wish I had gotten the name of the guy we talked to. He clearly has a strong connection to plants and is very knowledgeable, having a certain glee in sharing what he knows with likeminded people. Are your Monstera not fenestrating? Unsure whether perlite or wood chips are better for your soil mix? These guys can help you figure it out. We took home a jubilant little Alocasia Bambino. We will definitely be back. read more

This plant shop is located around other local shops in the downtown Fortworth area. There is parking available in the front of the store and the side of the store. Once I stepped inside I was glad I stopped by. They have an extensive collection of plants, David was helpful with showing me low maintenance plants. They have comic books, offer build your own terrarium classes, stickers/pins for sales as well as miniature toys. They have glassware available for the terrarium as well. I picked up a pin, stickers and a Rama verde peperomia plant. They have plant holders available as well. The prices for plants are affordable and I love how warm and inviting the plant shop is. I will defeinitely be back. read more

The instructor my wife and family were with, Matthew, was condescending and generally unpleasant. He treated her group and others around them as though he didn't want them in the shop and answered all questions as if he was talking to a misbehaving toddler. We cannot speak on the rest of the staff but Matthew creates an unwelcoming and hostile environment to everyone he interacted with. read more

This was a great experience! Our plant guide was so helpful, nice, and a great conversationalist. He explained the process, gave recommendations, and walked us through the creating process. I will be coming back. read more

This place is so cool!!! We attended a class on terrarium building, and everything is included in the price of the pot! They have a "warranty" that if something happens to the plant you take the terrarium back, and they'll replace for the cost of the plant! Given my history record, I like that warranty! Super cute shop, prices are good for the quality, and they're customer service and plant help is amazing. Love this place, will be back! read more

I went here for a birthday outing with a few of my friends..and I loved this place! You pick a base or holding container for your plants and the staff walks you through the rest. You pick a plant(a), build the ecosystem for your plant with rocks, soil, moss/mulch, and then finally decorate your terrarium. A very fun activity for small or large groups. The staff cares about your needs and offers up a lifetime insurance policy. They also provide you with take home instructions, a cell phone number to text, and an email address to reach out to them with questions or issues your plants are having. The venue, staff, activity, and even the music is great. I already want to go back and make another. Definitely recommend to everyone to try it out if you're wanting to try something new! read more

DO not pay attention to one negative review. You HAVE to check this place out!! It is the cutest store. The BEST customer service. We did a class and it was educational and fun. I can't remember the person who helped us but I think he may be the owner (not sure). He was so positive and made it so easy and enjoyable! If you like plants in general or just want something different to do, this is it! Such an enjoyable afternoon. I'm scheduling another class tomorrow for my daughter and I, it was that cool! read more

this was the best idea for date day! the staff was super friendly and walked us through every step with some advice as well for aftercare! The best part about this business is that you can take your terrariums back to them when your plant babies are growing too big & they'll propagate the older plants AND plant new ones in there for you! It's been such a cool bonding experience for my fiancé & I to watch our plant babies grow and start a little plant family in our home! It's totally worth the money and the owner is the sweetes read more

Ok I see y'all don't want to get back to me well, I guess what I said just showed me what I was thinking, that your hidden racism because being quiet said a lot. So I won't be back at your store because you pretty much showed me just who you want to shop there. And I'll make sure I let people know. And as far as my question for this plant I'll ask some one else. And I only gave one star is because I had to. Look some ppl when it comes to there business show you just who they want to shop in their store. If your not the rice race then you won't get the full service like their own you won't get told to much of nothing but if you like to give ppl money that don't give the full service like for their own then go here. read more

I came here On Saturday with a couple of girlfriends and we had a BLAST! I'd been trying to bring them here for forever and we finally were able to get together to make our terrariums. The space is very large and accommodating. I was surprised at how many people walked in before us, while we were there and after us. The process is super easy: Pick a container, pick your plant(s). They walk you thru putting it together and they tell you how to take care of your plant(s). Then you get to pick the fun stuff to make your terrarium your personal little thing. So.Much.FUN. highly recommended to bring friends for this and family/kids. This is in the foodie area of Magnolia, so you can do this and then run and have a great lunch/dinner and desserts as well. read more

Such a cute little shop! We kind of found it by happenstance, easy to miss if you're just passing through. But definitely worth a stop and look through. When you first walk into the place, it's a cute little space. There are plants of different kinds and sizes in planters everywhere. As well as different terrariums decorating the place. There is a magazine rack with different comics as well, if you're interested in looking through those as well. When you walk past the main little entrance, there's a bit bigger space. There are tables, moss, dirt, different containers (for terrariums), and even more plants to choose from. I ended up buying one of the succulents and one of the low light plants. They have so many tiny baby plants, they are ADORABLE. One of the things I really liked about this place is if you buy a plant from them, they give you a little paper with information about the plant. They also give you their contact info to ask questions about the plants you buy, in case you need care tips/advice. Especially if you are a first time plant mom (like me!). They seem to let you build your terrarium in store, and they have so much to choose from to put in your terrarium. Will definitely return. Also, seems to be child friendly as well as just a cool place to come build a terrarium with your kids. read more

Succulents are very popular and Ephemera adds a little twist. They sell comic books in addition to making your own terrarium. Not only can you choose your own unique container to make one, but you can also add little comic characters, colored rocks, and other items. I spent a little less than an hour picking my container, succulent, and perfecting the additions. The containers can get very pricey (the price on the container is for one plant and all materials). I wonder if they would give a discount for bringing in your own container. The cat one pictured was $20. They also have plenty of completed terrariums to choose from. The owner was very helpful giving us step by step instructions and tips for how to decorate. The owners also gave complete instruction on how to take care of the succulent. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

Did a "build your own terrarium" class here with a couple of friends for my birthday and it was awesome. Amanda, the instructor for us, knew her plants and had useful plant care tips. She did a great job of explaining every step. The class was fun & enjoyable. The store itself has such a cool vibe and great selection of healthy plants, decor, and accessories. The store feels like a hidden gem you don't wanna miss. I would definitely come back! read more

Ephemera Terrariums - Terrarium made in the class. - Gift Shops Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Not to be forgotten. My first time in Fort Worth I wandered down Magnolia one night and saw the soft light emitting from a storefront window. Peeking inside, I found a whimsical world of Ephemera. Tiny terrariums. Creatures/tokens serving the as vegetarian guardians. Natural energy. Unfortunately, they were closed at this hour, but that image stuck with me. Seven months later I found myself back on Magnolia, and I knew I had to return. The store moved around the corner, but inside Ephemera was even more whimsical, energetic, and large. Stations for making your own terrariums line the middle, while the outside edges are dedicated to plant options, decorations, and vessels to support your little world. Magical. Having a plant obsessed friend, I knew I had to get her something for her upcoming Birthday, and I wanted it to be something I've only seen at Ephemera. I don't think I've ever seen an air plant turned into a Jellyfish, have you? Thanks to the friendly staff for making this storefront a lively spot in the world, and for the help picking out this unique gift. Pro Tip: Air Plants (as of this review) can fly in your carry-on luggage. That's how I'm getting this darling to my best friend for her birthday. read more

How very disappointing ! We felt like We were invading someone's personal space. The young lady working seemed put out. She was very rude. My son really wanted to make one but, she was totally rude. She was so busy making her own she didn't have time for us. So we left. VERY disappointed. Here is the thing Fort Worth may be big but, it's really small and with customer service like this you won't be around for long. I really hope that the young lady wasn't an owner. read more

A small little corner tucked away in southside fort worth, I feel so blessed to have found this place. Walking in and I immediately felt like I'm in a different world! This place let you build your own terrarium, and if you buy one of their containers it comes with everything. The store will provide you all the soil and mosses so you can decorate to your hearts content. Any purchase comes with a free plant, if you need to get more than 1 then its usually $3-4 per extra plants. They have both low light plants and succulents. They also have a small table that have all the decoration you can use for free, only the one on the shelves cost money. Usually they will show you step by step to how to decorate so don't worry if you have no idea how to do it. I've been here twice and both times I came out super happy. I will be back. read more

Ephemera is a place where you build your own succulent terrariums. This shop is very small, only able to accommodate a couple of people at a time. Despite their small size, they have a vast selection of succulents, rocks, soils, grasses, and little trinkets you can put in your terrariums (which they also supply). The owners are a very sweet couple. They walk you through each step of the process explaining why you have to lay down certain materials. It was such a fun experience for me and my mom on our girls day out! I absolutely recommend it to anyone. Also let me just say this! I drove my little terrarium all the way back to Ohio from Texas. I accidentally uprooted my little cactus, like, four times in the process (poor little guy). And he still survived!! Crazy. read more

I decided to finally confirm my e-mail just for this review. First and foremost, I had a wonderful experience at Ephemera. The employee working there was great at explaining everything there is to know about nurturing succulents and was helpful when my girlfriend and I were deciding on a terrarium. What made this experience unique was the freedom to customize and get creative with how your terrarium looked. Ephemera provides you with a good range of terrariums, succulents, trinkets, and materials that allow you to make the set feel like your own. Would definitely come back again. read more

LOVE this place. I go here to buy most of my plants, and I follow their Instagram to find out what new plants are in stock each week. I agree with the pricing and I love the variety.

Friends; Understand that I know nothing about plants, that I know nothing about keeping things alive (other than my 7 month old child), and that I love what Fort Worth is growing(you're welcome) into. Enter Terrariums via Ephemera; My wife and I started a date night here, after hitting up La Zona for cocktails and tapas next door (a highly recommended thirty second walk), and it was seriously a lot of fun. The girl helping was fantastic and kind, the planting process was fun and had enough details to make you feel like you were involved in the project, and the toys on the shelf you get to decorate with are pretty entertaining. We ended up recreating a small scene from Jurassic World involving a dinosaur, and naturally, a man being eaten, beneath the shadow of a giant cactus. Looking for a creative start to your date night? Come here. Oh, and just so you know, if you're short on change for cocktails next door, it's BYOB. Enjoy! read more
