Her keen sense of style and her knack for discovering hidden gems have helped transform the boutique into a wonderland of treasures.
Lisa’s approach to curation is deeply personal. She believes that every piece in the boutique should tell a story and add a touch of elegance and beauty to the customer’s indoor and outdoor spaces. From hand-painted ceramic, teak furniture, artisan pots to delicate glassware, Lisa’s selections reflect a commitment to quality, sustainability and artistry that sets Garden Gate apart from other luxurious living boutiques and stores.
