For many small businesses, participating in the Union Square Holiday Market is a dream. For Terrart NYC, it became one of the most important chapters in our company's history.

When we first joined the market in 2022, our goal was simple: introduce New Yorkers to the beauty of terrariums and inspire people to reconnect with nature through living ecosystems.

What followed exceeded anything we could have imagined.

From a Small Booth to a NYC Tradition

Over the years, the Union Square Holiday Market became more than a place to sell products, it became a place to share our story.

Visitors from New York City and around the world stopped by our booth to discover handcrafted terrariums, moss walls, DIY kits, and botanical gifts. Many first-time customers returned season after season, making Terrart NYC part of their holiday tradition.

From 2022 through 2025, we proudly welcomed thousands of customers and introduced countless people to the world of terrariums.

More Than 17,000 Terrariums Sold

During our participation in the Union Square Holiday Market, Terrart NYC sold more than 17,000 terrariums and moss creations, making us one of the most recognized botanical brands at the market.

This milestone reflects not only the popularity of terrariums, but also the growing interest in sustainable, nature-inspired living.

Every terrarium sold represented an opportunity to bring a piece of nature into someone's home, office, or workspace.

A Family Tradition Since 1984

While Terrart NYC officially launched in New York City in 2019, our story began much earlier.

Our family's terrarium journey started in 1984 in Venezuela, where our parents introduced handcrafted terrariums to local communities. Decades later, that same passion continues through Terrart NYC.

Today, we combine more than 40 years of family experience with modern design, sustainability, and education to create ecosystems that are beautiful, approachable, and long-lasting.

Recognized Across New York City

Our growth through the Union Square Holiday Market helped establish Terrart NYC as a leader in the terrarium industry.

Over the years, our work has been featured by local media outlets, including PIX11 News, as well as business organizations, entrepreneurship programs, and community initiatives that support small businesses throughout New York City.

These recognitions helped us reach new audiences while continuing to stay true to our mission.

Looking Back and Looking Forward

The Union Square Holiday Market played a major role in Terrart NYC's growth. It allowed us to connect directly with customers, test new products, build lasting relationships, and share our passion for nature with thousands of people.

Today, Terrart NYC continues to grow through workshops, DIY Terrarium Kits, moss wall installations, wholesale partnerships, and educational experiences throughout New York City and beyond.

We're incredibly grateful to the Union Square Holiday Market, our loyal customers, and everyone who has supported our journey along the way.

What started as a family tradition over four decades ago has grown into one of New York City's most recognized terrarium brands—and we're just getting started.
