thing sweet is hidden around every corner! The Shops At The Garden Shed include seven businesses:
Cambria Garden Shed, Lily’s Coffee House, Cayucos Cellars, Ocean Heir, Simplistic Home, Grow nursery and Art with Judy Ann.
Cambria is the not-so-secret spot to go for an unforgettably mellow vacation. It is a small town where the locals are quite friendly and you’ll notice that people tend to wave and smile at each other. Visitors enjoy a day at the beach exploring tide pools, moonstone hunting, hiking trails, or seeking out the many wonderful shops, gal-
leries and cafes.
The Garden Shed is located
in “Midtown Cambria” on Main Street. Customers can start the morning at Lilys Coffee House, explore The Garden Shed and the shops of the courtyard, and end the afternoon at Cayucos Cellars for a glass of Central Coast wine.
The Garden Shed is located inside of an old 1890s creamery building. At one point, it served
as the town hall, where many community decisions were made. Nowadays, the Garden Shed is known for its emphasis on outdoor living, and also as a place to pause and slow down.
Before starting Cambria Garden Shed, owners Ashley and Lucky Gracey had backgrounds in retail and landscaping. In 1998, the cou- ple opened The Shed, fulfilling their dreams of sharing the outdoors together every day. “Our aim has always been to keep the loveliness of nature and gardens in our shop space. We love the ideal weather of the Central Coast,
and abundance of songbirds, deer, and wildlife found in this area,” said Ashley.
Cambria
Garden Shed has
offered Cambri-
ans unique finds
and merchandise
found nowhere
else on the coast since first open- ing the doors. They carry new
and vintage pieces for the garden and home. Old farm tables and cupboards display the goods and visitors find rustic farmhouse decor around every corner. The owners have an eye for high-quality goods, such as leather gloves for garden-
ing, hand tools from Holland, and lotions that will heal dry hands. Cambria Garden Shed always has an abundance of one of a kind pottery, great fountains and a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The shops have inspirational pieces for everyone, and staff is ready to help find that special something. Customers can find
pleasure while listening to local guitarists and musicians who stop in regu- larly to perform. Cambria Garden Shed is the per- fect place to take a break from life, relax, and socialize while
enjoying a little inspiration.
The Shops at the Garden Shed are located at 2024 Main St. in Cambria. Open daily from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. For more information, call (805) 927-7654 or visit ambriagardenshed.com.
