Meet the People Behind Terrart NYC

Behind every Terrart NYC terrarium, moss wall, DIY kit, and workshop is a team of people bringing different talents, backgrounds, and perspectives together.

What began as a family terrarium tradition in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1984 has evolved into a Brooklyn-based botanical company built by family, friends, and longtime collaborators. Today, our team shares one mission: bringing nature closer to people.
