Urban Outfitters gets into the gardening/landscaping biz

**D*@aol.com**

Just an fyi, if you haven't seen the story already...

Anyone familiar with the Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie or Free People  
stores (all owned by Urban Outfitters) may be interested in this article in the  
Philadelphia Inquirer today, about the Philadelphia-based company's decision to 
 get into the upscale garden center/landscaping business. The new chain will  
be called Terrain.  Its first store is the well-known Styer's nursery and  
landscape biz in the Philadelphia suburbs, which will become Terrain at Styer's.

Towards the end of the story are quotes from Bruce Butterfield,  organization 
research director for the National Gardening Association, about the  annual 
gardening-and-landscaping-related spending, followed by this  comment: 
"... the 18-to-34-year-olds, the kids of the baby boomers, aren't into  
gardening. If it doesn't have a mouse, they don't want to know about it."
