By Thandolwethu Tsekiso June 11, 2019

Hey Lovers, About two weeks ago, I finally stepped into the beautiful Plaisir du Jardin, a stylish one-stop-shop for outdoor furniture based in Bryanston, Johannesburg. I had the pleasure of chatting to Gillian from PDJ and she kindly took the time to share some interesting information about PDJ with me, as well as some outdoor furniture trends which we can all incorporate into your own homes. How would you say the landscape for outdoor furniture stores has evolved in the past 20 years?
