Here Comes the Sun

Big Red Sun Garden Boutique Opens

According to some, there’s a bad moon on the rise.

Count on Big Red Sun to brighten things up.

From inside the new whimsical Venice Beach garden boutique, Austin transplant Selena Souders sheds light on indoor/outdoor living accessories and sustainable landscape design.

In the green corner house, vintage dishware, Moroccan poufs, Indian globe lanterns, organic coconut wax candles, bowls of wooden bangles, and other knickknacks set the eclectic boho scene.

Duck behind the blue building to find the nursery. Perk up your plot with succulents, easy-to-assemble fountains, and handmade cement vessels or nab unusual bouquets as hostess gifts and nonliving arrangements for pals who kill everything.

Just don’t forget your shades.

Big Red Sun, 564 Rose Avenue, between Sixth and Rennie Avenues (310-433-0019 or bigredsun.com).
