The Rustic Barn
(Killingworth) We loved browsing The Rustic Barn – their aesthetics are A+! Owned by a husband and wife team who love the rustic look, all of the furniture is hand-made by Steve and the soy candle collection is hand-poured by Lisa! They have an array of textures and textiles to enjoy indoors or out. And if it’s time for custom outdoor furniture, give them a call!
The Green Spot
(New Milford) This organic garden center has a beautiful assortment of plants & shrubs, trees, planters, and garden accessories to create your dream green spot! They also offer landscape design (planning, planting, lighting, pools, everything!) and masonry if you’re considering a complete makeover! Also, check out their unique fire pits and patio sculptures.
Wild Birds Unlimited of Fairfield
(Fairfield) Invite the birds to come and visit! Beautify your outdoors with feeders and bird paraphernalia from Wild Birds Unlimited. Online and in stores (there are a few around the state!) you’ll find an awesome selection of birdbaths, food, houses, and books. We LOVE this Share the Joy Hummingbird Box; everything you need to get started attracting hummingbirds to your own backyard!
