Editorial Review for Paxton Gate – by Andrea McCloud

In Short
Paxton Gate is a curious and enchanting treasure trove of unique gifts and traditional garden fare. If you're looking for yard supplies, they do have them: pruning shears, pots, bulbs, potting soil. But the real fun here is the strange selection of stuffed and mounted animals, Ammonite and Trilobite fossils, glass eyes, and beetle and butterfly collections. In fact, Paxton Gate boasts San Francisco's most extensive selection of dried and mounted exotic insects.
