I've had good luck with www.Aquabid.com Prices with shipping usually close to Petco/smart. Much better variety avaiable...

Check out the for sale area on this forum. There's usually someone willing to give away or sell some Java moss.

Almost any commercial petshop that sells fish will have java moss for sale. The employees are probably dying to get rid of it anyway. I got a cup full of it for 75 cents and it's growing well in my tank!

Actually, java moss is kind of hit-or-miss. In my experience, most pet shops don't have it. But eBay usually does.

As for ferns, you mean the kind that grow in soil? Those you can probably get at Lowes or any good garden store. BUT... you shouldn't use such plants directly/immediately in a terrarium, as they are often grown with tons of fertilizer and pesticides.
