Gowanus is best known for the canal that flows through its heart, which happens to be one of the most polluted waterways in the world. The neighborhood around it, however, is one of the most vital and up-and-coming neighborhoods in Brooklyn: a magnet for artists, delicious food, and creative businesses.

Twig specializes in lovingly assembled little terrariums filled with living plants and figurines. Pick up one their pre-made mini moss worlds, or let them teach you how to make your own, filled with air plants, succulents and, of course, twigs. The self-contained glass orbs and jars make unique gifts, and the Twig staff can also replace florists at weddings and events with custom terrariums and moss displays. The shop itself is packed with greenery, centered around an entire moss-covered tree.
