Poly-Wood® unites its plastic lumber with stainless steel hardware producing long lasting performance furnishings.

Excerpt from The Journal Newspaper Published: Monday, April 4, 2011: According to Patrick Limb, garden center manager at Wight’s Home & Garden, the current trend in outdoor furniture is definitely green, but with quality design and durability. …Limb emphasized that the furniture’s durability is more than just convenient. “I think that’s one of the most green aspects of it,” he said, explaining that unlike a lot of popular and cheap plastic patio furniture that wears out after a few seasons, Poly-Wood products stand up under years of Northwest rain and brief but fierce summer sun.

Wight’s is one of the only places in the Puget Sound region where you can get Poly-Wood products. Just in time for spring, Limb began stocking rocking chairs, patio sets of chairs and tables, and brightly colored pop-art bar stools.

Wight’s 2011 Garden Description:

Once Upon a Thyme – A Recipe for the Good Life

Once upon a Thyme, in a land not so far away, lived a very happy woman. So happy was she, that people came from far and wide to learn her secret for the good life she had created. Her sage answer was always the same. “The recipe for a good life,” she proclaimed… “consist of 3 ingredients. You must have a garden to feed the soul! You must surround yourself with beautiful things to feed your heart! And your body must always be fed with delicious food and good wine! Follow my advice and your home will always be filled with love and laughter.” The moral of the story is: life can be good but it will always be better with a garden, something beautiful to look at and a good meal. And so she lives happily and heartily ever after.
