You can find local artists' jewelry, children's gifts, scarves and ladies' hipster clothing all here. We purchased some Root Honey scent candles and cute reader glasses today. Also, I tried a squirt of FHF Honey Heel Glaze from the tester. It is on Oprah's The O List this year. It felt magical on my palms, thus it would do miracles for my heels.

Apple Jax Chagrin Falls moved to this Peninsula location. It's a larger store with more expansive inventory. It's located in a house-looking building, which makes it more homey. It's definitely a more cozy vibe than Lakewood or Tower City Pop-up locations. Big kid at heart, I wandered into the store during a local festival. The store impressed me with a wide selection. You probably won't find these toys at big box retailers. They had nostalgic toys, table games, plush toys, magazines, and more. Check their social media for more information about the selection. The merchandise was suitable for all ages. Adults and children actively and excitedly interacted with the toys during my visit. So fun to see! If you're a collector looking for action figures, this is the place to be. There are large glass shelves with extensive choices. I was most impressed with Giga Pets (like tamagotchi), how nostalgic! Oh, and slinkies! No parking available onsite. Look for parking in the area at designated spots. This can be a little tricky during events, but this place is well worth the visit. I'll definitely be back to get some board games for nights with family! I'll also visit to buy gifts for my friends' kids. I feel like such unique things can be found here to impress any age! This place is a must visit!

There are very unique flavors to choose from. You can choose more than one flavor too if buying more than one scoop. The staff person working was helpful and friendly. Three of us chose different ice creams so we could each taste the variety of flavors. Our rankings in this order--tahini, roasted banana, cookies and cream, malted vanilla. Liked tahini the best! Looking forward to another visit to Henry's Creamery so we can try their other creations too!

Ten out of ten would recommend the Gardner for their amazing selection, attentive and friendly staff, and attention to the little details that make a shopping experience great!

The exhibit was really informative and nice and explained how Cuyahoga Valley was formed out of the desire to make national parks accessible to more people, which it certainly seems to have accomplished!

For starters, most garden centers have a few cats, maybe a golden retriever, but this one has a pot-bellied pig! Her name is Petunia and she has a little relaxing area towards the back. Does it add anything to the garden center itself? Not really, but for heavens sake, you have to at least appreciate that she's there, just chilling and keeping people company as they select their garden items. Their selection is pretty good as far as things go. They have the standard kitchy garden items, along with a lot of potted plants. You'll also find baby trees if you're keen on planting one, as well as seedlings. I'll admit I haven't always had the greatest service here, some of the staff are great in making recommendations, while others make me wonder why they even work at a garden store. I've purchased several plants here though and all of them have been quite hardy. One in particular, a lime plant, has thrived despite the fact that I kill plants on the regular. Finally, I love their seasonal decorations. They usually mix it up dependent on the season, and I can pretty much always guarantee they will have what I'm looking for, whether it's hanging spring flower baskets, summer herb seedlings, or pumpkins and hay bales.
