Best of Philly 2008: Garden Center
Terrain at Styers
|
If you have to ask, you havent been paying attention to the buzz: Urban Outfitters massive makeover of DelCos stalwart J. Franklin Styer has, within a mere 11 acres, revolutionized or, some might say, Anthropologie-ized the garden-store concept. Terrain sells impatiens out of antique wooden carts. Terrain displays hard-cover garden books in lush greenhouses. Terrain stocks chic-ly packaged, eco-friendly seeds, fertilizers and pest control products, and displays its understatedly elegant never precious patio furniture outdoors. And its landscaping division is promising the same Styers-esque attention to service. It might be the best in the country.
