An exceptional boutique that pairs retail with urban farm.
As you walk up to this historic home, your attention is first caught by the neat rows of veggies nestled in the front yard (which I believe are sold at the farmer's market on Central). Finally stepping through the front door, the sweet and thoughtful product displays will likely enchant and bring a smile to your face. Each little table and nook is lovingly curated with gracefully aged vintage and lovely recycled/re-purposed goods.
I found myself particularly taken with an assortment of bottle openers, made from re-purposed wrenches. Further along, I found some fabulous clip-on bow ties made from vintage fabrics. ("Bow ties are cool", ya' know.) Throughout, GROWop noticeably distinguished itself with its visual merchandising and consistent tone and mood. They seem to understand their client and image better than most small business boutiques and as well as national specialty stores.
Apparel seems to be geared towards ladies, but there are a few goodies for the men as well. Regardless, stop by (particularly on First Fridays) and admire the delightful space they've created.
