Accoutrements for the garden

People sometimes assume from our name – Pomegranate Home & Garden – that we are a nursery or yard center. Nope! We're more like a boutique home, garden, gift store. We have lots of wonderful bits to add to your garden, from bells to buddhas.

We tried selling plants in the past, and offered some really interesting and rare species. There was just one problem: the critters in our wild habitat ate all the inventory. We narrowed it down to just lavender, and that didn't go so well, either (that thing about deer not liking lavender? not always true). This year, we idiotically planted up some yummy things around the shop, you know, to make it colorful and pretty. Two days later, it was all gone, whittled down to the nubs. Very ugly. Apparently geraniums are to deer what Gummi Bears are to kids. Num num, gone. The beautiful dahlias persevered for an extra 24 hours, and then they were gobbled, too.

Sad thing is, we could have gone out to dinner, maybe twice – including nice bottles of wine – with what we spent to inadvertently feed the deer and the rockchucks. Those ingrates!* Now, thanks to suggestions from Schilling's Solar City, we have some grasses and fuzzy green things in our planters. For dessert, we'll be serving Bobex, which apparently is the only thing to deter the deer. Sigh.

Anyway, even though we don't have plants for sale, we have some lovely and wonderful things for your garden, for outdoor entertaining, for evenings spent relaxing and enjoying life alfresco. The last few weeks have been filled with shipments, and new arrivals are still coming in daily. It's a lot like Christmas around here... you just have to come see it all.

*Let it be said that we already supply our wild creatures with about 90 pounds of bird seed (and peanuts and other seeds) every ten days or so. Phew!

Bells can tuck right into tall grasses or a corner of the garden. Sweet chimes.

Iron birdcage is very decorative: plants can go inside and climb the sides... or maybe your bird would love it!

Buddha corner with riverstone votives, simple hurricane lanterns, volcanic ash buddhas.

Bamboo runners and placemats in vibrant colors for indoors or out. So reasonable, too.

Recycled bottle vases on a stand: great for a little handful of flowers, herbs, greens.

Iron birdbath, pinwheels, recycled tin hearts.

More of the recycled glass vases: with stand or individuals. Sweet!

Ceramic lanterns to mix and match in great colors.

Tiered stands (several sizes) with chalkboard (for plants, toys, craft stuff...)

Ceramic asian garden stool and volcanic ash serene buddha head (all weather).

Set of three nesting iron console tables for your garden party setup (they'll find a place in the house, too).

Iron etagere goes anywhere!

Tangerine! Trays, Casbah lanterns, hand-woven baskets.

We just love these lanterns. Removable metal insert inside makes it easy to deal with candles.

Our favorite SOLAR lanterns light up the garden all year round.

Sun bells to hang from a tree or shepard's hook.

More solar soji lanterns (new colors and shapes this year). Great gift, too!

Rustic, chunky teak bowls for indoors or out.

Recycled glass serving bowls, trays, wine barrel stave candleabra.
