To celebrate the storefront's longstanding legacy, De Paola is inviting all of Bay Ridge to stop by The Indoor Outdoor Gardener on Saturday, April 6 to check out her backyard full of plants and discover the intricacies of the botanical world. De Paolo also hopes celebrants will enjoy some wine and dance along to 50s tunes - the shop's unofficial soundtrack.
"What sets my mother apart is not just her expertise but her genuine love for teaching. A former teacher herself, she shares her knowledge enthusiastically on social media and with everyone who walks through our doors," she told Brooklyn Paper.
Small businesses tend to be a product of love and this family-run shop is no different. When De Paola's husband died in 2006, her oldest daughter, Eva Landy, partnered with her to keep the shop running.
