Growing Beauty

Gardeners and horticulturalists wanting to add colour and volume to their gardens will find a huge selection of plants in the heart of the Seven Mile Beach corridor, on Lawrence Blvd. Turning a passion into a livelihood, the creators of Growing Beauty Wholesale Nursery opened their doors to the public in December 2011, offering a huge variety of vines, ground cover, fruit trees, St Augustine grass and the largest selection of shrubs on the island. All their plants are propagated on site, from seeds and cuttings, and nurtured in their own soil mix, fertilised regularly and pests kept at bay without the use of chemicals. Happy plants make happy customers.

Get Grilling

Billed as “the most durable grill known to man” the Broilmaster Grill is built with flexibility and longevity in mind. After all the long days at the office and after all the years spent out-working the competition, you deserve a grill that delivers on its promises. The deep Broilmaster grill head surrounds foods with a greater volume of heat and smoke, while its thick cast aluminium construction ensures consistent cooking temperatures – no matter the weather. Offering more cooking configurations than your kitchen stove – you can sear, grill, smoke or slow cook your favourite cuts of meat, the optional adds ons also mean you can have a side burner for simmering or reducing sauces and a rotisserie to slowly roast and self baste meats.

Trees to Go

Transform your garden into a cool and shady tree-filled oasis more or less overnight with Cayman Growers’ 100 gallon trees. A variety of palm trees, including royal, coconut, majool and canary date palms are grown in 100 gallon grow bags, which make them easy to transport and transplant to any other location on island. Most of the trees are already around 20 feet tall – all you need do is peel away the bag and let the tree take root in its new home. Because the trees have been grown here, they are already acclimated to the local conditions and, as there is no import duty to pay on these, they are the economical choice.

Atmospheric Evenings

Transform the ambience of your garden or pool terrace by installing permanent tiki torches. A world away from their kerosene-fuelled stake-in-the-ground bamboo predecessors, Go Gas’ propane-fuelled stainless steel tiki torches are sophisticated and stylish, filling your outdoor living spaces with a warm amber glow and flames up to 15 inches high. With intricate patterns cut into the metal work these torches look attractive by day too and because they run on gas eliminate the mess, soot and smell typically associated with tiki torches. Round off the look with an equally impressive and atmospheric fire pit. Made from recycled steel with a natural rust patina finish these carved metal bowls will become a centre piece at any gathering.

Creating an Eclectic Look

Sally Brooker from Absolutely Fabulous is constantly pushing the boundaries of design and bringing new styles from distant shores to Cayman.  She has travelled far and wide and discovered  a new collection of exquisitely designed furniture that incorporates old railway sleepers, stainless steel, faux leather and high-gloss white table tops.  The result is an eclectic look that is contemporary, traditional and globally inspired.  It’s old, it’s new, it contradicts – and it’s never been seen on the island before. Her passion for the environment means all the wood is 100% Forest Stewardship Councils (FSC) or reclaimed.  This coupled with her new line of hand forged, hand painted ceramics and earthenware goods from Zimbabwe brings a fresh new look to the store.

Where kids play & parents lounge

Located at the Strand, West Bay Road, Play Away was created to allow kids and parents a place to play, create, relax and celebrate. Rather than a drop off facility, parents or caregivers remain onsite at Play Away and can relax on comfortable sofas and enjoy a tea, coffee or snack while their children have fun in the play area. The indoor play space is designed to offer a simulating environment specifically geared towards children five and under. Monthly workshops and events are offered for both children and adults, such as story time with a craft, Mommy and me music, massage and movement, kids cooking with Chef Tanya, and Mad Hatters Tea Party for the little ones.
