"Welcome to downtown's largest garden centre. In this case, big - a 5,000-square-foot former foundry, flooded with natural light, plus
display areas out front and at either side - is beautiful. What a pleasure it is to spend an hour or so in these airy environs,
daydreaming of winning the lottery and mentally furnishing your own personal garden of Eden. Good luck choosing from an outstanding
collection of outdoorfurniture, all of it "functional and practical, more classic than modern," in the words of owner Duncan Fanning,
he of the impeccable eye."

"After more than 20 years experience, Duncan Fanning opened his 5,000-square-foot garden emporium - the biggest one of its kind
in the downtown core - five years ago and helped spur the growing Toronto trend of, well, growing. Designers looking for product
improvement often tap into his vision for outdoor living (check out Fanning's upcoming Kingsley-Bate teak chair redesign), and
competitors have been known to make ballsy appearances with clipboards and calculators in hand. With everything from soothing
water fountains to garden incense plus exclusive high-end outdoor furniture lines such as Emu, Lloyd/Flanders and Meadowcraf.." NOW MAGAZINE 2004
