Although we visited Urban Outfitter’s garden center last year, we were so charmed with the experience there that we had to pay a visit when we were in the neighborhood last weekend. Garden center doesn’t describe the Terrain store well. It’s a home and garden wonderland.
Suburbia is often written off as a wasteland of MacHomes and copy cat malls that serve a population that rejects individuality and creativity. Terrain challenges this assumption - the place was packed with people looking for an alternative, seeking something different and trying to make a change.
The team behind this one-of-a-kind store have curated a fantastic collection of plants, furniture (new, old and vintage looking), beauty products, home items, kitchen essentials, lighting and you-name-it odds and ends. Throughout the grounds (it is extensive) there are constant eco-reminders of reuse, recycling and adaptability. It’s a superb experience where you can’t wait to get around the next corner to see what treasure you’d discover there. We’d say it was the most beautiful store we have recently visited in the US.
