Home furnishings seller Smith & Hawken is holding liquidation sales at all 56 of its stores, with most discounts currently between 25% and 40% off.

The chain’s store at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa yesterday was still well-stocked with patio furniture, potted plants, pillows and candles. Colorful signs promised ‘total blowout!’ and ‘all furniture 40% off.’

There were also some unusual items, including rubber rain boots, a copper mailbox ($159, down from $199) and a Buddha statue.

As is typical with liquidations, all sales are final and markdowns are expected to become steeper as the stores’ final day approaches. A sales associate at the South Coast Plaza location said the store was expected to close in October.
