Christy Beal, owner of Eclectic Nature and Garden Angel Designs, Inc., offers year-round beauty for your home, indoors and out. The shop and garden center, Eclectic Nature, is located at 1503 Mt. Vernon Ave., in the heart of Del Ray in Alexandria. Indoors, there is an appealing mix of traditional and contemporary home furnishings, and outdoors, a full range of gardening supplies, plants and décor beckons.
Beal sees Del Ray as the perfect place for such an enterprise. Driving through it for the first time, she fell in love with its quirky, small-town charm. And although many Alexandrians remember when Del Ray was shabby but not chic, the revitalized area is now home to an ever-growing number of upwardly mobile young professionals and married couples, including housewives and mothers. The homeowners and small businesses here are constantly renovating their properties, she says. Eclectic Nature is set to provide a whole array of products and services to fill their needs.
The Garden center adjacent to the shop is stocked with perennials, annual, herbs and ready-planted containers as well as mulch, soils, fertilizers, water garden supplies and various types of stone. Customers in search of statuary and other garden ornaments will find them tucked among the outdoor furniture, bird feeders, chimes, gloves, sun catchers and seasonal items such as wreaths, pumpkins and Christmas trees.
