Ginger Fig was - for 13 years - a gorgeous gift shop and gallery located in Bath Place, one of the most historic streets in Taunton. A lovely little pedestrianised street, full of beautiful 18th and 19th Century buildings, and the home of great independent retailers, cafes and other businesses. Now we are making our home online, after the eventful year that was 2020.
So here we are! This website is very much a work in progress, starting with just a few familiar products and cards to test the water and see how things go.

Ginger Fig really was the culmination of a childhood dream. Back in the 1960s my father was involved with the retail trade and I was forever playing shop with the props and advertising material he brought home. Later I spent 25 years honing and perfecting my shopping skills all over London, but never imagined that one day I would have my own lovely shop.
