The Georgetown Garden Shop was born at a cafe in Paris in 2022, after owner Caroline Ervin realized there weren't enough garden furniture and decor shops in DC that fit her clients' needs. While visiting her daughter who was working in Europe, Caroline shared her dream of being the “little old lady in the garden shop,” and with the support of her husband, found the perfect location on the beautiful cobblestoned O Street in Georgetown.

 

Caroline has been a landscape designer in the mid-Atlantic for 20 years, specializing in residential gardens in Washington, DC and its nearby suburbs, creating gardens with English and French styles, incorporating native and non-invasive plants. A lifetime of hands-on gardening experience gives her additional understanding and knowledge of soils, plants and diseases.

 

Her garden style comes through in her in-store selections - the shop partners with the iconic brand Brown Jordan for outdoor furniture and sources high quality garden decor and accessories that are both beautiful and functional. Each product in the store is like a recommendation from a trusted friend.

The shop carries gorgeous and interesting planters, and can help customers and order furniture for their outdoor spaces, design planter displays and special order planters, fountains, ornaments and other garden elements. The shop also offers a wide variety of vases, gardening tools, linens and serving pieces, and accessories for outdoor entertaining.

 

More than just a retail space, The Georgetown Garden Shop is a growing community for people to share and learn about gardens, from experienced gardeners to those who just love flowers or want to learn about nature.  The shop frequently hosts workshops and demonstrations on floral design and native and pollinator plants.

 

Caroline has truly found her purpose in life of making the world a more beautiful place and sharing it with others.
