“It is for those families who enjoy dining and entertaining outdoors. This is also suitable for offices, hospitals, hotels, schools and various institutions,” says the managing director.
The majority of the items available at the Garden and Patio are made from local materials. The furniture includes benches, tables, chairs, mirrors and wooden swings. Among the flooring materials are double and light duty cobblestones and tiling pavers, which give a warm welcome on walkways.
“There,” adds Mr Shah, “is also a wide selection of outdoor lights, lanterns and flower pots to adorn gardens and patios. The plants on offer range from palms to miniature trees which can also be purchased from the Garden and Patio outlets.”
