Bittersweet Butterfly

Combining flowers, chocolates and lingerie? Why did no one think of this earlier. Bittersweet Butterfly certainly seems like the perfect Valentine's day gifting destination, but it's...

GRDN

GRDN helps concrete pounding urbanites introduce a small slice of nature into their lives. The shop knows the indignities an urban gardener must suffer and so organizes its plants around the amount...

Rayon Vert

We might have passed by items like those in Rayon Vert a dozen times without taking a second look. Which explains why we'll never be able to open such a store. The shop, that was once more...

Root Stock & Quade

A green haven among gray city streets, Root Stock & Quade is like an oracle of city gardening. Out front: plants, out back: plants, inside the long, narrow store itself: plants, and everything...

Rose and Radish

Known for its dramatic, beautiful floral arrangements, Rose & Radish has turned its keen design sense to home design. Alongside flowers, their modern gallery space now presents an expertly...

Scentiments

The sentiment seems to be that if you spend on flowers the recipient will not notice the cellophane, foam or cheap glass (using the world glass liberally) vase that holds the flowers. We knew...

Bittersweet Butterfly

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/los_angeles/bittersweet_butterfly_1_web.jpg

Combining flowers, chocolates and lingerie? Why did no one think of this earlier. Bittersweet Butterfly certainly seems like the perfect Valentine's day gifting destination, but it's pretty darn delightful the rest of the year as well. The lingerie draws from a select group of European, American and even South American designers--there's everything from playful knee-highs to...

GRDN

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/brooklyn/grdn_1_web.jpg

GRDN helps concrete pounding urbanites introduce a small slice of nature into their lives. The shop knows the indignities an urban gardener must suffer and so organizes its plants around the amount of sunlight available and has many species that will work on a fire escape or a window sill. For those that want that garden-y feel without actually, you know, doing any gardening, there are a...

Rayon Vert

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/san_francisco/rayon_vert_1_web.jpg

We might have passed by items like those in Rayon Vert a dozen times without taking a second look. Which explains why we'll never be able to open such a store. The shop, that was once more flower shop than home accessories shop and still does floral arrangements, has a knack for finding beautiful, often odd, objects and furnishings. These flea market finds are pared with a equally...

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ny/brooklyn/rootstock_and_quade_1_web.jpg

A green haven among gray city streets, Root Stock & Quade is like an oracle of city gardening. Out front: plants, out back: plants, inside the long, narrow store itself: plants, and everything you need to, you know, plant them. Choose among stone and ceramic pots, potting soil, and cute little gardening tools. The store also serves as a florist--ready to create an arrangement for you,...

Scentiments

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/ca/venice/scentiments_1_web.jpg

The sentiment seems to be that if you spend on flowers the recipient will not notice the cellophane, foam or cheap glass (using the world glass liberally) vase that holds the flowers. We knew the state of the plant world was improving when we walked into Scentiments. For one thing, the focal point of the store is the vases--the front of the store seems like a design store focusing on jars...
