This store is set back from the road, and is somewhat obscured by plantings, so we were already past it when I realized where it was. We turned around to go back to it--I'm really glad we did.
The sign outside says "Uncommon home & garden," which is a pretty good description of the merchandise. A lot of it revolves around plants: planters, books about plants, flower bulbs, terrariums, houseplants, garden supplies, vases, and silk flowers that could fool a botanist! But there are also decorative objects, candles, peacock feathers, bottles, wooden troughs, rustic furniture, framed prints, lanterns, birdhouses, vitrines. Outside is some lawn furniture, more plants, and a rack of sale merchandise. There are terra cotta planters and carved stone ornaments from Mexico--I particularly noticed the larger-than-life stone hedgehogs.
This is definitely a cool store--even if you don't have a garden, you may well find something that you just can't resist! read more
