  • 5/5 from Jacob Sammon, attended Jul 2026: This class was AMAZING! Charly was so knowledgeable and supportive. He went above and beyond! This is a dream activity for couples/parents/gift-giving seasons. It was so approachable. I’ve never really planted anything but I think my terrarium turned out great. Very beginner-friendly. I had a blast and would love to do this again!

  • 5/5 from Carly Crcic, attended Aug 2025: Recieved this class as a gift card. It was super easy to book. We had never built terrariums before, but Charly's instructions were clear and easy to follow. Lots of fun and the terrariums we made look amazing :)

  • 5/5 from Johnny Heo, attended Jun 2024: We did this workshop for my fiancee’s birthday. Best decision I could’ve made! She left so happy with the experience. Charly is fantastic - so kind and really knows his stuff. All the materials were high quality so it’s difficult to mess up or get a bad result. Learned a lot about closed terrariums and left feeling prepared to take care of one (it’s super easy!). Great value for the money too. This is an amazing activity to do with a significant other or friends. I feel like it’s better than the other popular options like painting or pottery because it’s very beginner friendly. Thank you for a great time. Highly recommend for those curious!

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.
