English Gardener Gift Shop—It’s Brilliant!
Haddonfield, NJ – An open door at The English Gardener Gift Shop does more than invite pedestrians in. It lets the scent out. The heady mix of lavender, body lotions and scents and fine English soaps escaping from the storefront is a strong draw.
“You don’t notice it after a while,” says owner Denise Strojan. But her comment battles with a strong urge by every visitor to push the plunger on tester bottles and smooth clean-smelling lotion onto her hands.
Once inside, both men and women quickly can be hooked. Men are drawn to a display of rugby and soccer jerseys, pubware like pilsner glasses and mugs and a rack neatly stacked with woolen caps imported from Ireland. The store does not stock imported sweaters.
