San Diego Store: Gardenology - Melding Indoor with Outdoor Living

Here's our second new ATLA trial blogger, Rebecca, with a store post located south down in Encinitas. Tell us what you think!

One of my favorite home stores is Gardenology, located in Encinitas, CA, a laid-back beach town in North San Diego. The lovely owners of the store "offer an alternative vision for garden-style living, inspiring harmony between interior and exterior spaces while encouraging serenity and beauty in your surroundings." We could all use some of that!

Gardenology showcases interesting furniture, home accents and garden artifacts, including pieces from Euro manufacturers Dedon, Weishaupl and Vincent Sheppard. I especially love their “outdoor rooms” on display throughout the entire store. Each room includes furniture and accents with a variety of textures, styles and occasional pops of color and nature. Gardenology is the perfect place to gather inspiration for your own home. I think I could actually live in this store!

Encinitas is my hometown!Gardenology always provides me inspiration (when their items can be awfully pricy). And of course you must visit Grounded around the corner on E Street for more indoor-outdoor design.

It would be great to have a San Diego County blogger on AT!

I was going to suggest Grounded as another great garden store in Encinitas, too. I'm in San Diego and go there a lot. By the way, Grounded is not on E street anymore. They moved to the Lumber Yard shopping center down on the 101.

I like gardenology, but it's a touch on the expensive side. I agree with the previous story about Encinitas as well.
