AMAZING DUTCH BULB RETAIL DISPLAY AT TERRAIN<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
I’ve been wanting to visit the Terrain retail store, located in Glen Mills, PA, just outside of Philadelphia for two years now, ever since I first saw photos of the nursery and retail space on Flickr. The retail concept, created and designed by a very creative team at stylish retailer Urban Outfitters ( parent company of Anthropologie and other brands). As a supporter of design excellence and good horticulture, I had high expectations for Terrain, and I am please to admit that they we’re met. Actually, I was quite blown away, and very impressed as well as inspired by they entire visual experience. In a nutshell, Terrain was amazing, and worth visiting if you love original design, since this is so difficult to find today.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
If there is one thing that Urban Outfitters\/Anthropologie buyers and designers get perfectly right, is style and aesthetics. Terrain<\/a> ( which was once a classic, old garden center named Styers), is experience cranked on high. The talented designers and buyers who created this place, left nothing un-crafted. Every detail has been considered, and every little nail or stone has been thoughtfully curated. And ‘curated’ is the operative word here, for every object from books, to plant material, to antiques has been curated – and curated perfectly. Terrain is not derivative, rather, it is original and fresh, both rare experiences today. There is just enough commonality to be familiar to the newbie ( sure, there are Paperwhite narcissus, but they were huge), but this is balanced out authentic hand-made pottery and rare plant material to keep even the geekiest of hortiphiles interested. After-all, we are all suckers for design excellence AND horticultural perfection.<\/span><\/div>\n
