White House Fountains Statuary & Planters

I grew up down the road from this business… I’ve driven by hundreds of times, but just went in for the first time last weekend. And I’m so glad I did!
Shopping here was SUCH a different experience from visiting the big box stores like Home Depot or Garden Ridge Pottery. Here’s why I liked it so much —
1. PERSONAL TOUCH — When I got out of the car, I was immediately greeted by 3 friend staff members. I described what I was looking for (a 14−18″ planter w/​a drain hole in the bottom, and a large bowl to plant kale in) and one of the guys explained the layout of the different planters and showed me where to start looking. As I was trying to decide, Chris (who owns the business w/​his wife, Mary) came over and asked if he could be of any help. Chris pet my dogs, asked me about my work, told me about his wife’s experience as a dog groomer and answered a LOT of questions about plants.
2. EXCELLENT SERVICE — Even though I could have carried the planters myself, Chris carried them both over to my car and put them in the back for me.
3. NO PRESSURE — I browsed for a long time and was being indecisive, but never felt any pressure to decide or buy (I left w/​2 items and can’t wait to go back for more!)
4. UNIQUE PRODUCTS — The selection is HUGE… much more unique and stylish than things I’ve seen elsewhere.
In an area that has been over-​developed w/​apartments, fast food restaurants and convenience stores, it is so nice to see a piece of land still occupied by friendly, quirky people who have lived in the area for decades!

Very cool stuff that you won’t find anywhere else. Awesome fountains.
