Our Story

Terrarium is locally owned and operated by Anna and Rob Sinnott. We have been dreaming of opening this space since 2019 and it’s more than just a plant store—Terrarium is a place to relax, to be creative and to connect with other people who love plants. Nestled in the heart of Portland, we found the perfect space to bring this dream to life.

Rob has worked in garden centers for a number of years and studied horticulture at Southern Maine Community College. Anna’s dad is a Chef and her mom is a restaurant manager and bookkeeper. Naturally, Anna’s first job was working as a prep cook for her dad before getting a job as a server at a local pub and working her way up to bartender, manager and event coordinator.

We knew we wanted to start our own business and we did a lot of brainstorming on how to combine our individual knowledge and experiences. The result: a plant shop where you can have a drink, a meal, a conversation and get your hands dirty—nothing is more relaxing than working with plants, soil, moss and going home with a living piece of art.

We are thrilled to share our dream with you.
