A Proper Garden

Eddie Clark a year ago

My wife and I very spontaneously dropped by this little store after a great meal across the street (Elijah's). The front has many things hanging on either side of the door that lured us in. Inside... we found the store to be charming, and the owner delightful to talk to about her store, Wilmington and just friendly banter. We bought a few things, and had our eye on more for a return visit. We will be back!

We stopped in just to look around and found so many unique items! The shop is amazing to go through and the lady behind counter that chatted with us, was polite and helpful. We'll definitely be back!!

Shopped here yesterday to support a local business after having a fabulous lunch across the st. Very unfriendly owner/employee insisted on following us around & taking our item to the front. Was annoyed when we changed our minds about purchasing the item that she brought to the front… instead of a new receipt she already filled in before we even came up to pay she crossed the receipt out & used the same one… I’m all for saving paper but the huff wasn’t necessary at all!!! I liked an item and asked how it worked she said follow me it’s in the front of store by the doors you would have seen it when you walked by… instead of explaining what the item was and considering the item was in the back of the store at this time when I spotted it she insisted on taking me to the front of the store to tell me that I should’ve already knew what it was …. Will never shop here again… so sad too this shop has great items….

Stumbled upon this little gem of a gift shop while taking a stroll downtown. What a cute little shop with lots of local gifts and gifts for the garden! Beautiful little garden room too. The woman working was very friendly and there was an adorable cat too!

The store is adorable but the older lady who works there treated us with complete disdain and for no apparent reason. I’m friendly, it was Christmas Eve and I was ready to buy her lovely things. She was aloof, to the point of rude as though we weren’t worthy of her store. Finally, it got so uncomfortable we left without buying anything. She mentioned the store cat doesn’t like people. She has a lot in common with the cat.
