10 Years and Still Growing
The Crystal Garden was "born" on
February 13, 1989. It was a very humble beginning. We had one small showroom with about 12
books, 6 cassettes, country crafts on consignment from friends and family, 6 varieties of
incense and a nice, yet small, selection of crystals. We now have 4 retail showrooms
brimming with books, CDs, aromatherapy oils , jewelry, Native American-style art,
blankets, windchimes, and unique gifts from all over the world. We have 2 classrooms, one
of which is also licensed for massage therapy.
It was always a dream of mine to have a unique gift store, like the kind you would find in
Soho, Provincetown, Coconut Grove or the Village. When the "Universe" decided I
was complete with my 12 year Mortgage Banking career, I started this store with my former
business partner, Carol Lonsdale. (Gratitude to her for having the courage to start this
wonderful store and center with me!)
The Store has grown into a spiritual center. Over the years, we have had many excellent
speakers, authors, Medicine Men and Spiritual Teachers who have shared their teachings
with our clients.
In the early 90s, we had a beautiful community butterfly garden. It was beautiful because
our clients were a vital part of the development and maintenance of it. We are striving to
re-kindle this interest in gardening together once again.
As we approach the Millenium, it is more important than ever for us all to come together
again as community. And what a better way to "practice" being together as we
re-create a garden, growing food, flowers and LOVE!
I invite you to join us on February 13 to celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary. We are
offering lectures all day by practitioners who have been sharing their knowledge here. At
noon, our popular Aura Imaging Photography will be available. It will be a fun and
enlightening day!
Love and Blessings
