Artisan Jewelry, Textiles & Stationary

The Garden Gift Shop features hand-drawn illustrations and original patterns that bring custom natural designs to tea towels, watercolor notecards, Giclee prints, and flower-dyed scarves. These works are not only visually stunning but also eco-conscious, using recycled materials or low-waste methods to create sustainable goods that support the Earth.

Hand-forged leather and brass treasures, pressed botanical resin pieces, and silver and stone jewelry showcase a blend of artistry and craftsmanship. Each piece is carefully designed to reflect the beauty of nature and the artisan’s connection to the world around them.

Books, Guides & Games

Our reading room features inspiring titles for all ages and nature areas of interest. Pick up a visual conversation started with our photographic coffee table books or enjoy garden tips and whimsy from local writer Gary Menendez. We carry The Drunken Botanist, which catalyzed the creation of our very own Green Drinks Garden, as well as offerings on herbalism, floral design, and support for ecologically-vibrant landscapes.

Picture puzzles, birding and tree guides, a native flower matching game from our local Museum of Infinite Outcomes, as well as seed packet collections from Sow True Seed in Asheville, NC make wonderful gifts to share with family and friends.

Nature-Inspired Homeware

Locally-made cutting boards, aprons, soaps that support the bees, terrarium pencil holders and botanical cocktail syrups will bring delight to any home. Bring a bit of natural wonder into your kitchen with June & December’s Ginko leaf tea towels and wild herb shopping lists.

Pick up a cedar candle, lavender sprigs, or a bud vase to enjoy the aromatic delights of the garden at home. Each purchase in the Gift Shop goes directly back to to support our nonprofit mission to honor history, grow gardens, and cultivate community.
