PUTNAM — It’s more than a “plant place.” The Two Gold Moons shop, which opened last week in Montgomery Ward building, is more of a lifestyle shop.
Daniele Rioux, owner, “It’s not just a plants — it’s a lifestyle, a vibe, an energy.” She called it a lifestyle boutique. It includes plants but also gifts, holistic items and more. It includes all types of items that make you feel good, she added.
She and her husband Greg Rioux were welcomed to downtown by Mayor Barney Seney, Putnam Business Association President Thomas Borner and Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Elle-Jordyn Goslin.
Greg, owner of Woodstock Design, won first place at the Woodstock Fair for his booth — conceived by wife Daniele. She said there was such a great response to her décor that they said to themselves “we’ve got something here” and spent the next eight months coming up with Two Gold Moons.
