Cataldo’s Gift & Garden

There’s so much to appreciate at Cataldo’s Gift and Garden because it offers a unique atmosphere than most garden center shops. Throughout the year, the store keeps the shelves stocked, but they go above and beyond by hanging some merchandise on the walls and other areas. Rather than just seeing every item on the shelf, you can get a vision beyond the store and think about the perfect spot for something in your home, such as a potted plant hanging from the ceiling. Additionally, the storefront itself is interesting because it’s in an old New England dairy barn.

You’re also going to want to add this garden to your list to visit during the holiday season because the store decorates its shops and grounds beautifully. The gift shop also has many holiday items you can purchase. It’s truly a Christmas lover’s dream to visit.
