Our story

A Cottage Grown From a Love of the Garden

Charming, botanical, and warmly welcoming.

The Gardener’s Cottage was born from a simple love of gardens and gathering. Set in the historic Chaparral Center, our little Victorian shop has long been a favorite stop for anyone who loves flowers, thoughtful gifts, and a place that feels like a warm welcome.

We fill the cottage with the things that make a house a home and a gift feel personal. Come wander, take your time, and let a bit of garden charm follow you out the door.

The building

A Victorian Cottage in the Heart of Old Town

The Chaparral Center is one of Old Town’s most charming corners, and The Gardener’s Cottage fits right in. The blue-grey Victorian architecture, the cornflower-blue banner, and the flowers out front are a landmark in their own right on Old Town Front Street.

We are a longtime Old Town fixture and a well-loved stop on any stroll through the historic district. There is always something new inside, and always something beautiful to bring home.

The garden

Warmly Welcoming

We believe the best gifts come from a place with character. Every shelf in the cottage is chosen with care, every season brings new arrivals, and every visitor is welcome to stay a while.
