Verdi is located within the parameters of Robbins Nursery. Owned and operated by the wife of the owner of Robbins Nursery, it is a perfect complement to his long-time business. Housed within a cute cottage-type building, it is a wonderful home and garden shop. There are garden figurines, books, note cards, music boxes and a huge variety of items for sale. The selection often changes and there are many one-of-a-kind items. For instance, I bought a gorgeous three-dimensional copper and stained glass "banner" and hanging stand there for my mom for Mother's Day a couple of years ago. Even with all the shopping I do (in person and via computer), I have never seen anything like this. My mom loved it, too, put it by her front entrance and gets loads of oohs and aahs over it. Even on the rare occasion when I don't find something to buy, Verdi is a fabulous place to browse.
