About a year ago, I very suddenly fell in love with indoor plants. I discovered how much I love planting and tending to them. I would spend hours elbow deep in the soil arranging terrariums - It became therapeutic. It wasn't long until I housed more plants than I had room for. I began giving terrariums to my friends and family, and noticed the joy I felt from doing so.
After filling every shape and size of glass vases and jars with plants, I began thrifting for vintage planters and other found objects to house plants in. By doing this, I discovered my second love - vintage housewares and decor. I filled my free time with foraging the isles of thrift stores and antique malls. I’d use some of the items I found, but most would be neatly wrapped up and placed in a large chest for safe keeping. It was the hunt I grew to love!
Fern and Fostered changed form a hundred times or more, but finally landed on being an online retailer of vintage and repurposed goods. So many things out there deserve a good home and maybe even a few plants to call their own.
