I had planned on purchasing several paintings but with being treated rudely and threatened I kept my money in my pocket and chose to spend it at another gallery. I don't recommend this store. Save your money and go to a store or gallery that is friendly and welcoming.

I purchased a small mosaic piece that I dearly love. You can find just about any item that paint will stick to, candles, jewelry, lots of mosaic art (not on stepping stones or concrete, but designed to sparkle in windows or in your living room), teeny-tiny hanging vases for epiphytes, etc. Most items are small enough to carry to your car. The young woman who was working the day I was there chased me down after I left because I'd forgotten my debit card. That was really nice because she had to run out into the pouring rain to find me. Lots of breakables on multiple levels from the floor up to shelves about 6 feet high. Aisles are rather narrow. If you bring your kids here....don't bring your kids here, unless they are well-trained or swaddled. People requiring canes should be very cautious; not accessible to those in walkers, wheelchairs or strollers. If door is locked, knock on window, as staff locks door when s/he is in the back room.

Visiting a botanical garden for the first time, I expected a vibrant display of diverse flowers and…read moreplants, plus a little bit of cute wildlife, the kind of immersive nature experience you see in travel guides. Instead, this botanical garden felt more like a peaceful park with lots of trees and a well-maintained walking trail. My expectations were definitely high, so the experience surprised me. That said, it was calm, quiet, and relaxing. There were plenty of places to sit, which makes it a great spot for a picnic, reading, journaling, or simply unplugging for a while. If you are looking for a serene outdoor space to reset and enjoy a slow, mindful walk, this is a solid choice. If you are hoping for a colorful, flower-filled botanical garden experience, you may want to visit during peak bloom season or check what is currently flowering before you go.

We stopped at the Joy & Gordon Patterson Botanical Garden during a weekend in Melbourne Florida…read more It is located on the campus of Florida Institute of Technology. I had a little difficulty finding the correct parking lot and entrance to the garden but once in the correct lot I saw the sign. It is a leisurely walk through the 15 acre garden. It is not a garden in the sense of flowery plants but more a native hammock. There is a meandering stream and a little pond of turtles, we counted 10 including snapping turtles. Melbourne's oldest schoolhouse, 1883, has been relocated here. It was the weekend and campus was pretty quiet. We enjoyed a nice walk, even in misty rain. I recommend a visit to the garden if you are in the area especially if you have kids who would enjoy the turtles.
