…that a sucessful garden shop can be closed in summer?
Williams’ Trading Post opens in the spring, closes in the summer, and reopens in the fall. For 70 years this unusual schedule has worked…and beautifully so. Every April, Martha Dupuis, her husband, and their team create a stunning oasis of blooming spring flowers and striking perennial plants.
Searching for that little something extra to complete your garden decor? Then Williams’ Trading Post is a must-stop destination. For further interest and intrigue, antiques were added to the mix a few years ago. Save time to browse both the plants and the store.
Directly on busy Route 28, be sure to stop at this genuine roadside attraction.

And inside, it is THE place for one-of-a-kind gifts for the gardener in your life…or for yourself! They carry an extensive selection of garden-related giftware and furniture for garden, home, and office.
