Peter's is a family run business with over 36 years experience in the art of garden ornamentation. Peter Cilio, owner and creator of this museumesque garden shop, hails from a region of Italy known for its artisans who work in terra cotta, stone, iron and ceramics. Today, Peter's is not only a nationally recognized retail name; Peter's designs, manufactures and imports many unique garden accessories creating one of the most outstanding collections in the United States.

Since Peter's days as a mason in the Philadelphia area, quality workmanship and customer service has been the hallmark of his craft. Reaching back to his roots, Peter began to sell the Italian terra cotta pots he had always admired and had purchased for his own garden. As the demand for his products grew, Peter and his wife, Ruth, purchased 3 acres of undeveloped land in Quakertown, Pa, located between New York City and Philadelphia. There he began to build his unique garden shop.

As Peter's name and reputation grew throughout the region, Peter, Ruth, and their four children worked to create an unusual and sophisticated garden experience for their customers many years before gardening became a recognized national pastime. Initially importing an exclusive line of hand-made terra cotta from his province in Italy, Peter began sourcing other garden related products throughout Europe and the United States offering century old styles of planters and statuary in terra cotta. From there, Peter ventured into the world of cast stone. With the introduction of this new medium, Peter could offer his customers birdbaths, fountains, garden benches, statuary and an exclusive variety of garden ornaments in the best American, European and Asian traditions. Windchimes, sundials, Asian and European ceramics, bird feeders, bird houses, waterfalls, water gardens, gazebos, arbors and unique plant material followed. Peter's now offers one of the largest selection of garden related accessories in North America.

Peter not only sources the most exceptional products for your garden, but ensures the highest quality in his cast stone products by founding his own manufacturing company in the nineteen eighties. In developing his one line of cast stone products, Peter's goal was to elevate plain old cement pots to a higher level. Peter offers many of his own original copyrighted designs as well as many classic designs. Finished in various hand-applied patinas, Peter has created antique-like products with his newest designs at a fraction of the cost of original antique garden pieces if and when they can be found.
