Designs By Lee, Stamford

A family-owned business since 1958, Designs By Lee comprises a retail garden center and a 21-acre nursery. In this facility, the knowledgable staff shares tips in growing everything from azaleas to kale to deciduous trees. Birdbaths add flair to gardens, and landscaping services bring plans to life without having to rent machinery or convince the neighbors' Dogwood to relocate. In the fall, the nursery stocks seasonal decorations—such as scarecrows and gourds—for Halloween and Thanksgiving, as well as the winter holidays.
