The Painted Garden

Went down to The Painted Garden again this week and WoW! I am impressed by all the neat things there. Lots of new items. Check out this gallery of fun things for your yard. Thanks for always bringing in new and creative items.

Oh what a tranquil space. I could have roamed about in this outdoor shop for hours. So many great potted plants presented in the most beautiful artsy ways.
I will definitely make this a regular spot. I’d say if you are looking for a gift, this is a good choice, many price ranges to choose from. Had we not been on our way out to a 4 day weekend away, I would have purchased something for our loft.
I did feel that many things were overgrown in their pots. I felt things could have looked a bit more tidier if many of the plants were transplanted when needed.

Have you ever had an instance where you could have SWORE you had posted a Unilocal for a place… maybe you even remember doing it… and then when you look at the entry for the place, its not there? Not even in the «filtered» section? This is one such place for me. I thought for sure I’d reviewed it but alas… Time to fix that!
The Painted Garden is a spot in Temecula;s Old Town Front Street that the wife makes a point to visit whenever we’re in the area. She loves garden art and statuary, and this place features that in abundance.
The inventory is mainly from artists in Mexico and Central America and are usually brightly colored and sometimes even whimsical in design. The shop itself is an outside affair that kind of winds in and around from one area to another.
I’ll be honest. This shop isn’t too extravagant. Their selection is nice and their prices are so-​so. We’ve not encountered any unpleasantness with the owner that some other Unilocalers have (yet, anyway). However I must point out that this is a cash-​only place. That’s a little off-​putting. Especially in 2015 when you can get a Square Reader for your smartphone or tablet for free, and there’s free WiFi all along Front Street to use for it. It seems a little customer-​backwards in my opinion.
Still and all — we have a few lovely pieces from this shop in our garden and in the outside-​front entry way of our home. Its worth a visit if your in the area. Keep an open mind for sure — but do be wary of what the other Unilocalers have had to say; and if your experience is as unpleasant at theirs then by all means… Unilocal about it!

I came here to just look around and the lady who worked here seemed very rude! She was yelling at another customer while I was there! I don’t think I’ll ever return because of the atmosphere!
