It is once again time for Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer. I haven't joined in her party in a long time but thought I would today.
About three weeks before Christmas my husband and I made a trip to Atlanta. I enjoyed the trip and timing was perfect to do a little Christmas shopping in the big city while he was there on business. One of my most favorite places to shop is Boxwoods in Atlanta. The owners of this fabulous shop have been written up in several magazines, Veranda and Southern Accent or I should say their homes have. I never miss an opportunity to shop at Boxwoods while in Atlanta.
It is a combination of antique shop, gift shop, garden shop and flower shop. It is an amazing little shop and they do a great business.
This is to the left of the picture above and the main entrance. I think the landscaping is beautiful and they also do landscaping as part of their business. Their landscape architect has been written up in many magazines as well and often on the premises. He is a wealth of information.
This is a photo I took inside the building going into the greenhouse. As an avid orchid grower I LOVE this room. Not one of my better photos but you get the picture.
Another shot of the side of the building. Apparently this area used to be a neighborhood and like other areas it was changed into a place of business. It has a charm and character all it's own in this beautiful old home and neighborhood. I LOVE this place to shop.
If you are ever in Atlanta take the time to visit Boxwoods. You won't be disappointed. I think the last time I was there I brought home 12 stems of wine glasses that had some gorgeous etchings on them.

Thank you for visiting my blog and have a wonderful Wednesday.
Sounds like a great place to go at this time of year especially to be inspired by all that is there. You are lucky it is near you!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go there. I've seen their homes in magazines and they're fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such a lovely place to visit. That is one reason I enjoy the blogs, I can see so many great places that I can not see in person. Nice job.
