The Sea Garden really is a unique little shop. You'll find this listed Georgian
building in a narrow lane that leads down to the seafront of the charming village of
Portscatho. Behind the
pretty white-washed walls and small-paned windows lies a fascinating collection of
decorative antiques, kitchen and garden paraphernalia, second-hand china and glass,
distinctive contemporary crafts sourced from all over Britain, and hand-made accessories for the
home.
Owner Christine Nullmeyers relishes the challenge of
providing year-round inspiration for her customers, whether they be
seeking a simple birthday card or a complete wedding list. The Sea Garden
also provides the principal outlet for Christine's own works. These
include her photographic cards of local Cornish scenes, framed shell
collages and striking arrangements of sepia postcards, fragments of letters
and old stamps, with delicate handwritten text and pressed
plants from her garden. Pretty linen cushions and bags are
appliquéd with hand-stitched quotes and vintage patchwork hearts filled
with lavender scent the air.
