I had the opportunity to visit on Sunday, September 14th. Garden City Center's historic gazebo green transforms into a vibrant, open-air Farmers Market. The Farmers Market is every Sunday from May 18 through September 28 from 10 AM to 2 PM. I wandered and checked out the local vendors. There were a great variety of them. I purchased a really cute coaster from The Book Emporium RI. The Book Emporium RI sells books that are wrapped and you have a blind date with a book. I also purchased a lavender sachet from 15 Lavender Place. I spoke with the owner and she told me all of the lavender is lovingly home-grown and hand-harvested, ensuring the highest quality and care go into every product. There were soothing lavender eye pillows, relaxing neck wraps, sprays, and bundles of dried lavender. I also went to Fully Rooted to purchase two bottles of freshly pressed juices-Watermelon Slice and Golden Greens. There were also local food trucks, farm booths, and local makers. The Garden City Center Farmers Market is a market for everyone. Either if you just want to stop for coffee, get produce for the week, flowers, dog treats, see alpacas, and so much more.

The quaint little area is a much more relaxed place to dine and shop than nearby Thayer Street or the Providence Place Mall. You won't often see large crowds or wait in long lines. If you are looking for some tasty bites to eat, to catch up on the latest fashion, or simply find a great read, the businesses on Wayland Avenue can satisfy whatever you are craving. We have been many times to eat, shop and relax...the area is in a residential setting, so for those who live nearby, it's like a block or two away walk to get a French croissant, grab the latest bestseller novel or get a funky lamp from a home decor store. A nice relaxed setting !

It reminds me of Old Town Pasadena, but on a much smaller scale. I really like it. We went in the West Elm store and my in-laws bought some things for their home. We also went in a cute ladies boutique on the corner. My sister-in-law has purchased some things there. Great area to dine and shop.

There are many new businesses, like a Centreville Bank branch, Bertola Italian, and a restaurant called Alani's Mediterranean Bistro...many other businesses have been around for a while like the Durfee True Value hardware store, the Chinese American market, King's Garden Chinese and the US post office. Another landmark in the area is the Park Theatre. We have visited the area businesses several times and they usually go for the ethnic ones where we can get stuff that sometimes are not easy to find in other parts of metro Providence.
