As an avid follower and customer of URBN Inc (Urban Outfitters, Free People, Anthropologie & [the newest] Terrain) when I heard of their newest concept, Terrain, I had to check it out for myself. With a day off, I took the trip up to one of their two locations in Westport, CT - the other in Glen Mills, PA - and found myself delightfully lost in an eclectic collection of plants and home and garden products. An employee even mentioned that at times she finds people wandering for hours. To completely tie in all your senses, there is a cafe and garden terrace that showcases local and organic meals as well as coffee, tea and sweet treats. (I indulged in an iced coffee and mini chocolate & vanilla cupcake)
While still a new concept - the Westport location has only been open for a year - I believe that we will be seeing new Terrain locations very soon. Can you say Brooklyn? California?
For a little more insight, take a look at what caught my eye:
