    Tried to find this place armed with the address and having read the two reviews showing…read more Unfortunately, I hadn't read the blurb given with the page, as it does show and address the fact that it is/was within the Fleamasters Flea Market. We went ahead and parked when we realized. However, after considerable walking and asking many different individuals, we never found this bookseller. We did have a few people tell us the only place they knew that had books was in the pavilion and we tried there too but only found another stall (different name) with very few books. It looks like this business may be closed. I would call a number to check but do not see one listed.

    A true gem of SW Florida. I can't believe it's not flowing with positive reviews…read more I've been living in SW Florida for almost a decade now, and I can say for sure this is THE BEST place to buy books around here, period. It has an abundant variety of titles for all tastes and ages, and you can't beat the prices (the owner will usually reduce the total price if you buy multiple books). The place is a little tight when it comes to space, but to me that only adds to its charm. Also, expect some dust on the books and, well, generally everywhere. Whether you're a local or just visiting, if you want to get away from the artificiality of online algorithms when it comes to recommendations about what to read next, give this great bookstore a chance. You won't regret it!

    Thrifty Garden is a garden shop in the shops at Butterfly Estates in Gardner's Park near downtown…read moreFort Myers. This is the coolest little garden shop I have evet been in. According to their website "we carry plants, garden supplies, books, gifts, and locally made items. Maximizing the enjoyment of life spaces through nature, imagination and thrift." Rick Molek is the owner of Thrifty Garden and he opened this micro-nursery in January of 2018. In addition to the gifts and plant supplies, Molek offers workshops on raising houseplants and also offers a houseplant hospital by appointment. Houseplants are a great choice for novice gardeners when Florida's temperatures start to soar the 90's. Thrifty Garden offers many different types of houseplants in the shop, and prices are affordable so you can flex your green thumb with minimal risk. They have offered in-person classes on plant care ever since the shop opened and with the pandemic they added online and phone coaching too. Don't forget that they offer beer and wine too. Now that is the kind of gardening that anyone can get behind. Check out their selection of raw honey and naughty garden gnomes. You can find a list of events on their website.

    You'll find lots of cool little gadgets and treasures all over the store, they have a wide variety…read moreof products from different local businesses, honey, plants, artwork, jewelry and much more! I think it is a great place to support and promote local fellows. They also sell cold beer, we had a couple while we were waiting for our table over at Bullig and the lady at the front is the sweetest, she gave me tips on how to take care of ny pothos plant back home. Their patio outside is wonderful to catch a breeze while taking sips on a cold beer.
