Recent reviews of Sustainable Terrarium Workshop - Kew Gardens, Queens

  • 5/5 from Merilee Teylan, attended Aug 2026: Booked a class with Charly as a birthday activity for my mom. She loved it! The space has lots of natural light and you're surrounded by inspiration from terrariums that Charly made. He's an excellent instructor. Patient and thorough. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves plants, is looking for a family friendly activity, or even a date night.

Terrart was an idea developed during the mid-1980s. It was initially a small family-run business giving family and friends a unique present. Then it expanded to become a new concept of interior design inspired by nature: mini gardens in bottles.
Charly Uzcategui is an Engineer specialized in Geosciences who grew up surrounded by plants and natural environments. His drive and passion for terrariums and plants come from his parents who have been creating these beautiful and sustainable arrangements for more than 30 years.
Charly decided to bring his family heritage and expertise to New York City by combining his engineering drive with his love for plants, resulting in this marvelous project called Terrart NYC.
As an alternative to conventional gardens, for people seeking to stay connected to mother nature through these mini-worlds.
