About the Wardians® ecosystems

Our Wardians contain beautiful living plants in a recycled glass bottle sealed with cork. An ecosystem or plant terrarium creates a self-regulating mini-biotope in which living organisms work together to recycle everything, allowing plants to thrive without external care. This is the legacy of the Wardian case, an innovative invention by Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward from the 19th century. This Wardian case, a huge ecosystem, was originally designed to protect plants during long sea voyages. This invention allowed the plants to survive the voyage thanks to its self-regulating system. Our Wardians plant terrariums continue this tradition by combining historical elegance with modern functionality. Enjoy the timeless beauty and practicality inspired by Ward's remarkable invention.

Ecosystems are often seen as symbols of sustainable cooperation, growth and balance. This plant terrarium not only brings fun into the home or office, but by adding a personalisation to it, it also has a functional aspect. Branding the cork with your logo, slogan or message will keep your company or brand in mind in a green way. The ecosystem shows sustainability and environmental awareness, symbolises growth and appreciation for relationships, and is enhanced by personal touches. Besides personalisation on the cork, coloured gravel, a label or card can also be added. Many of our Wardians are even available with LED lights in the cork, creating an atmospheric light inside the ecosystem.
