Feedback from first-time Guests

Ruth and her husband are wonderful and it was such a pleasure for my wife Denielle and I to meet them! The shop is beautiful and the selection is incredible. The outdoor area is also amazing and felt like a garden oasis. We will definitely be back!

Just Look at these Flowers!

The latest addition to our back yard gardens is stunning---flowers made from vintage Victorian plates. The photo doesn't do justice. Stop by and see for yourself. And the price is hard to believe. Only $20 for the tall, $15 for the short. A grouping of 3 (1 tall, 2 short) perfect for your garden-----out the door $50 (plus MI sales tax). More coming soon. Compliments of Karen and Tim Schipper.

~ About Carlton Gardens ~

Carlton Gardens is much more than an enchanting gift shop with unusual wall hangings, floral arrangements, antiques, and garden décor—with nooks and crannies around every corner. It is a fashion boutique with one-of-a-kind ladies’ dresses and purses, as well as the destination location for dazzling jewelry. And all that can be found wonderfully displayed inside the seven rooms of an old house that has been converted into the main store.

In the surrounding yard and gardens you with find walkways leading to a vast array of yard art, benches, baskets, and unique gifts. Here in this acre of country hidden right inside the city are 4 gazebos, 2 ponds, 2 bridges and 12 out-buildings: the Barn, the Butterfly House, the Garden House, the Olde Wash House, the Christmas House, the Potting Shed, the Outhouse, the Coop, Breton Cottage, the Olde Junk Shoppe, the Apple House, and Chapel by the Bridge, complete with stained glass windows.
