Our Garden Shop will be temporarily closed on Friday, October 31 as we conduct our annual inventory. All guests will still be welcomed at the Garden, and may check in at the table outside of the Shop. Drinks and coffee will be available for purchase at the Garden Bistro.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back into the Shop once inventory is complete!
