The Philly-based folks behind Anthropologie also created Terrain, a lively store that integrates the outdoors (a garden center) with the indoors (stylish home accessories). Though this branch is set amid shopping centers, its barn- and greenhouse-like buildings (some from Styer's, the nursery formerly in this location) create a small, enchanted world. Seasonal plants appear outdoors and inside, and terrariums, planters and pots, serving pieces and dishes, and books, soaps, and lotions are all in the mix.
