The Terrorium Shop
Denver, CO
A Denver shop where lush houseplants grow beside taxidermy, skulls, insects, wet specimens, preserved flowers, crystals, handmade art, and a classroom devoted to preservation.
The Terrorium Shop pairs living greenery with preserved nature, combining a plant shop, taxidermy studio, specimen dealer, handmade-art store, crystal-and-gift shop, pet-memorial service, and classroom.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Plant shop, taxidermy studio, bone-and-insect dealer, preserved-botanical store, art gallery, crystal shop, gift store, pet-memorial service, and classroom.
The living-versus-preserved collision is built into the business itself: plants grow beside specimens prepared by a team that also teaches visitors how preservation works.
The Terrorium Shop grew from Amber and Ian's interest in gardening and preservation into a Denver store where life and death occupy the same shelves. Plants, skulls, bones, mounted insects, wet specimens, preserved botanicals, crystals, handmade pieces, and other curiosities fill the retail space, while a separate classroom supports taxidermy, entomology, botany, and related workshops. The team also prepares much of its own preservation material, making the store part retailer, part studio, and part school.
