Oh, Shop It: The First Day of Spring Brings a Lush Gazebo Garden and New Garden Loft Store to the Somerset Collection

Celebrate the new season with the Somerset Collection at its North Grand Court Garden, opening on the first day of spring. The North Grand Court will be transformed to welcome the Easter Bunny’s arrival to a picturesque gazebo garden, and to celebrate the opening of Garden Loft, a curated collection of spring-themed merchandise from Somerset retailers.

The Spring Gazebo Garden features three stunning architectural gazebos with three complimentary spring gardens. Each gazebo will have a distinct design with fashion vignettes and beautiful surrounding landscape. One great feature of the Spring Gazebo Garden is the Lego Gazebo, where kids of all ages can play in the gazebo on the Lego table while they wait for a picture with the Easter Bunny.

A trip to see the Easter Bunny at The Somerset Collection is a magical experience. Not only will kids get their picture taken, but they will receive a tote bag with five colorful eggs filled with coins that represent a dollar being donated to the S.A.Y. Detroit Family Medical Clinic. Kids are encouraged to throw the coins collected in the fountain, and then the eggs can be taken to Hallmark, Sweet Factory, Haagen Dazs and Starbucks North to collect special complimentary Easter treats.

Don’t forget to stop into the Somerset Garden Loft, a pop-up shop featuring a curated collection of springtime inspired fashion, accessories and home goods from Somerset retailers. Aveda, Detroit Shoppe, Fossil, Lucky Brand Jeans, Pottery Barn, Sur La Table, Vera Bradley are just a few of the many retailers that will be on display at the Garden Loft.
