Lincoln plant hunters on the lookout for terrarium treasures — here’s where locals say to try

Lincoln’s indoor jungle fans are swapping tips on where to pick up terrarium plants in the city — after one local asked for help to avoid a longer drive out to Brigg. The plant-lover posted on Reddit saying they normally source terrarium plants in Brigg, but with a trip to Lincoln planned for Monday, they hoped to “save myself a drive” by finding something closer to home. Fellow Lincolnshire residents were quick to weigh in with suggestions. One commenter said they’ve “occasionally seen them in Pennell’s”, though admitted they haven’t checked recently. Another local backed that up, adding Pennell’s can have small terrarium-suitable plants “near the tills” — while noting it may be “a bit of a schlep” if you’re only in Lincoln city centre for the day. For those staying closer to the heart of town, another recommendation was The Plant Room opposite Lincoln railway station, with a link shared to the business website: https://www.theplantroombysykes.co.uk/about-us/. A commenter said it “should have some little plants”, ideal for terrariums. A third reply also pointed to “a shop down the glory hole” — a nod to Lincoln’s well-known pedestrian passageway — suggesting there may be another option tucked away in that area. With houseplants booming in popularity and terrariums offering a neat, low-space way to bring greenery indoors, the hunt for the right miniature plants is clearly alive and well in Lincoln.
