For lively outdoor scenarios, there’s only one place in town that carries Fermob, the new industry leader in power-coated lightweight furniture. These foldable bistro chairs come in a kaleidoscope of colors, and the whimsical clover rugs are available in various sizes. Just add in a pop art blow-up ice chest and a collapsable cooler of your favorite beverages; both items are available at Little Miss Muffin. Should you prefer more serious pursuits in the yard, The Garden Gates also offers a selection of trowels and gloves, along with a colorful selection of plants and shrubs.
