The Scene – Think you can't landscape, garden or own patio furniture if you live in the city? This family-run store, devoted to sprucing up the outside of your home, may change your mind. Outdoor furnishings seem incongruous inside the loft-like space, as they wait for city dwellers to indulge their back yards and decks. Green thumbs gravitate to the nursery out back--a fitting tribute to the Spanish city the store is named for, known for its beautiful gardens. – – The Goods – Your garden will dig the annuals, perennials and decorative grasses from the full-service…

Neat furniture and nice plant selection. Try before or after a Cubs game.

I enjoyed browsing and resting on some cool garden chairs and sofas. From redwood to wrought iron, it felt comfortable after walking a few blocks West from Wrigley Field after a Cubs game. I enjoyed the aroma of unique candles and my wife picked out some cool shrubs and flowers. We even came back before Christmas to get a great deal on a really fresh tree. The staff were very courteous even though it was obvious I was just using the ruse of trying out furniture to rest my tired old legs. And I got my daily walk to and from Wrigley Field along with a cheap parking space nearby. Very polite and neat shops and bars all along Southport Ave. I liked the option about having stuff planted for me. A Must Try after Cubbies game.
- Pros: Great Selection of quality furniture and fountains and shrubs. 3 thumbs up.
- Cons: Don't try to park during a Cubs game.
The Details on Alhambra
Know Before You Go:
Winter holidays are big around here. The store extends its hours and transforms the interior into a winter wonderland to sell lights, ornaments and Christmas-y contraptions, like small rotating trees that light up.
Look Good:
Landscaping and decorating consultations are available year-round. See Sean Buino, the self-proclaimed "patio meister," for ways to make home improvements.
