They have a lot of memorabilia like Pez dispensers and signage from early days in Winston-Salem. It's very impressive! I highly recommend!

There's also a lower level but I just didn't have the time to explore that as well. I'm adding lots of pictures so you can get an idea of what to expect. It's definitely worth the stop.

We've been coming to Garden Valley every spring for our ferns for several years now. I love their…read morehuge selection and I also love that you have two sizes to choose from. I have also gotten my mom hanging baskets or potted flowers for Mother's Day the last couple of years. Although they can be a bit pricey, the quality is top tier. It's always fun to have a walk through their inside market to check out the specialty items. We walked away with a carton of strawberries and two oatmeal cream pies. The lady who checked us out was so nice and even gave a tip to air fry the oatmeal cream pie. With a life hack like that you can't say the service isn't stellar! We will continue making our way to Garden Valley for our yearly plant/flower purchases in the future!

Great local outdoor market that sells everything from plants, hanging baskets, flats of flowers,…read morepottery, jams, jeelloes, picked items, local made syrups all types of produce and fruit locally farmed. There is a large dirt parking lot that holds plenty of cars. The one issue I have with this market is that the it is outdoor and the produce ripens quickly in the heat. Sometimes you have to hunt and pick through the selection to get fruit and vegetables that are not on the cusp of being overripe. I am only one person, so I cannot possible eat a whole melon in one day and need it to last a while. The owner is nice and all the employees are helpful. I do find the produce a bit expensive, but I really like the vibe of this local market and like to support them.

There's been a lot of talk about Trosa Thrift store around town lately. I've seen it all over…read moresocial media so a friend and I decided to check it out on a Friday afternoon. Trosa is located on Peters Creek Hwy in the Food Lion strip center at the Clemmonsville exit. It's easy to get to and there's plenty of parking which I love. Right inside the door is their whole furniture section, they have tons of tables, chairs, dressers , etc. they even have a whole section of office specific furniture. The prices are very reasonable. This would be a furniture flippers paradise. Towards the back they have shelves of everything from pillows to whole sets of dishes, sports equipment and the most medical mobility equipment I've ever seen anywhere. I'd say, if you are in need of a walker, a bath seat or portable toilet for someone look here because they probably have it at a fraction of the cost it would be to purchase new or rent. The clothing is grouped all together but they aren't keeping it organized as well as it needs to be. All different sizes were mixed in together and I quickly got frustrated and gave up. Both of us had found an item in the kitchen area we wanted so we headed to check out. The workers were very friendly as well. I'll definitely be checking out Trosa regularly in the future. Trosa supports substance abuse treatment. If you want to donate to them, they offer pick up for larger items or you can bring your items to their donation drop off around the back of the store. Just follow the signs.
