Art for the California garden

Jason and Molly Davis are a husband-and-wife team who have been working together since the age of 17. They started out working together in a pizza restaurant, later graduating from college and spending time in corporate America. Marriage and two children followed, but the couple were happier working together.

They found inspiration in the creations of Jason’s mother, Novato artist Judie Bomberger, whose business as an artist was growing rapidly. The couple’s “aha” moment came when they decided to join all of their loves: gardening, art and working together, into the online business, GardenArt.com.

“Our online gift store for gardeners features handmade garden art from artists all over the United States and Canada and is all in an affordable price range,” says Molly Davis. “Working with Judie for many years, and running her exhibits at the major gift shows, gave us the opportunity to find the most unique collection of handmade art for the garden.”

Unlike other online stores, the Davises stock all artwork in their own warehouse and send it out with a personal message to each customer. “We even offer custom sculptures and pet memorial services as another way to add a personal touch to an online shopping experience,” she says.

Materials such as glass, rosin, wood, metal and recycled materials are all used by the artists who provide works for GardenArt.com.
