Carmel-by-the-Sea Shopping - The Secret Garden

Explore this hidden oasis. A charming garden shop features a collection of statues, plants, fountains and assorted local-made gifts.

We're different and have been doing this a long time.  We are independent through-and-through; with not a hint of a corporation or franchise.  Our environment reflects that.  Our selection of items for sale are chosen with great consideration.  Many items are one-of-a-kind, hand-made (some by local artists), sustainable, made in America, and at a fair price.

We value a focus on education beyond school; the sacred rather than the religious or secular.  We get excited when visitors discover new things or "alternative thought" in books or gifts. Their world just got a little bit bigger and their choices expanded.

Come on in to our space of favorite things for you to explore and discover.  We'd like to meet you!
