Terrain's Timely Team

Appreciating Holiday Moments, Celebrations With Four Beneficial Services, Gifts, Assistance

Founded in 2008, Terrain's garden center is a revelry of nature. The team's flagship, immersive Glen Mills location offers an environment where guests unwind, explore and celebrate occasions. It was there Terrain Cafe grew from a small bistro to a full-service restaurant; that was a catalyst to build a private events venue on the property: Terrain at Styer’s. In 2018, the company's team opened Terrain Gardens at Devon Yard. During 2023, Terrain Gardens at DelVal opened in Doylestown, on the Delaware Valley University campus. The Terrain Events team says they're committed to providing empathetic, trusting and diverse client support. Newtown City Lifestyle outlines how masterfully the four pillars of Terrain pair indoor and outdoor needs for all of life’s biggest moments.

Terrain Café 

Terrain Café was originally inspired by the idea of merging house and garden to create an enchanting, natural ambiance. It grew from being a coffee shop nestled in the Glen Mills garden store to a full-service restaurant offering seasonally inspired menus. The café since expanded with three locations across the Philadelphia area and one in Westport, Connecticut. Its culinary team works with purveyors to ethically source fresh, high-quality ingredients. Each café's deliberately designed environment blurs the line between indoor/outdoor spaces, providing inspiring dining experiences. At the Doylestown café, Terrain's culinary team works directly with farmers, agricultural teams and DelVal college students to deliver produce straight to café tables. The cafés are perfect places to rejoin family and friends for the holidays, or to treat oneself to a heartwarming, peaceful meal.
