Gift Shop
We moved our gift shop out of the Sears barn for the 2007 season in anticipation
of our daughter’s garden wedding on 07/07/07.  The lofty barn now has a café style
interior offering visitors the opportunity to retreat from the sun and sit a spell to
enjoy a cool drink or frosty treats from the freezer. The building is also used for
receptions, and catered meals for large groups and weddings at the gardens.   The
barn showcases photography snapped by the area’s professional photographers
who have captured beautiful pictures in the garden.

The gift shop is now located in the small, charming utility barn located west of the
greenhouses. It served as our original gift shop in the early years of our backyard
business and was relocated to the acreage in 2006. We call it the Potting Shed. In addition,
we have three more retail buildings: the Nesting Place, the Pixie House and the Drying Room.
This spring we are excited to introduce all kinds of merchandise – new product includes
wooden children’s chairs and rockers, great pottery, bistro table/chair sets, funky baskets
and tin containers to go along with statuary, birdbaths, and garden iron. My love for antiques
has also sent us “picking” for garden relics that will add charm and nostalgia to your
backyard. We will be selling all sorts of one-of-a-kind antiques for your garden, porch and
home.  We have seen many area antique establishments close in recent years and we hope
to devote a portion of our inventory to recycled finds. Come see what we have dug up! As a
Quester myself, I hope a trip to the Prairie Pedlar will live up to their motto: It’s fun to search
and a joy to find!
