Vaunted aesthetes Warren Muller, creator of coveted light sculptures, and RJ Thornburg, crafter of fabulous interiors, stepped their avant-garde right on up

City Planter
If you’ve long envied the tidy window boxes and planters of horticulturally inclined urbanites, pop by this NoLibs shop for stunning containers in every shape, size and aesthetic — from massive sidewalk urns to chic indoor vessels — and benefit from the owners’ 20 years of estate gardening expertise to help fill ’em up. 814 North 4th Street, 215-627-6169, cityplanter.com.
Mainline Green Home
The ’burbs just got a little greener: Berwyner Karen Parsons, who lived for a year and a half in pristine Alaska, has opened this elegant eco-conscious gift shop, filled with cozy organic baby blankets and onesies, Caldrea cleaning products, soy candles, bamboo serveware, green-living books — and fair-trade totes for taking it all home. 812 Lancaster Avenue, Berwyn, 610-644-7336, mainlinegreenhome.com.
The Wood Shop
