Diablo Magazine has a nice article, from its May 2008 issue, about the eco-friendly boutique that Adrienne Armstrong and her partner Jamie Kidson opened in Oakland last September. The store seems like a real labor of love, selling only environmentally friendly products, many of them made by small cooperatives and some benefiting diverse charities, and it’s all put together with a great eye for beauty and design, judging from the photos.

“Sitting in the loft above their Rockridge shop, Atomic Garden, Adrienne Armstrong and Jamie Kidson are surrounded by sewing machines and clothing samples. Artwork by their children decorates the walls as well as the boutique downstairs, which stocks green items exclusively. Armstrong and Kidson want to build a successful, stylish brand that does right by their roles as moms and citizens of the planet.”
