This semi-suburban oasis is popular with young families and filled with mom-and-pop shops: a “more grown-up” part of the Brooklyn borough. That’s not to say it has no edge; amongst the cheesemongers and competing Italian bakeries are plenty of stylish shops, trendy bars, and restaurants lauded by true foodies. Well-maintained brownstones and carriage houses date back to the 1800’s and offer an instant time warp into tree-lined, classic New York.
GRDN is a Brooklyn essential to any urban gardener, whether novice or veteran. Their assortment of indoor and outdoor plants sprawls throughout the store and out to the back patio, where you can wander and forget the city for just a moment. Inside amongst the flowers, you’ll find home products like stylish gardening tools and furniture, in addition to modern pottery and paper goods.
