I want to make my own terrarium, but I am not sure where to get the plants for it in Brandon, any ideas?

The first thing to decide is what type of terrarium do you want? Tropical? Succulent? Other? Also, what size terrarium are you working with?  
 
You might be able to get some from Walmart, Lindenbergs, Home Depot and/or maybe even some greenhouses. There are also many plant lovers that may just give you some plants if you ask, either friends or on here as well.  
 
I also have one to plant, I have just not decided what I want in it yet. ;) I know that I want slower growing plants...so I might just go with succulents, but again, not sure yet. I need to get them pretty tiny either way...

Westman Gardeners is putting on their Hort Day on Apr 22 and it's about fairy gardens. Might be some ideas there as to what to do with your terrarium? There are speakers attending talking about the plants to use, etc. Might be worth looking into for your ideas? Just a thought.

Here is more information, Country123:

one to giveaway. It used to be a reptile aquarium and I use it as a terrarium. it's got plants in it already, and you can have it if you like. PM me

You have to work out all the details of what you want to put in before even starting. I successfully made a green anole viv out of an old, leaky 90 gallon aquarium. I got all my plants at Lindenburg supplies on Princess Ave. I highly recommend checking out the bioactive pages on facebook.  
Edit: if you are wanting it just for plants with no animals there are also many helpful pages online
