Dragonfly Shops & Gardens — Local services in Orange

I happened upon this place the other day while looking for the location of a different shop nearby. The name caught my eye and I'm so very happy I decided to check it out. The shop is extremely welcoming, as you can see from the sign in my pictures, it truly meant just that, to find them in the garden. The shop is small but organized well and filled to the brim with wonderful finds. Thus while I perused their wares the owner was right outside in the garden sitting on a bench among the plants and decorations for sale. It truly felt like less of a store and instead as if I was on a small jaunt that ended up with me finding a little secret place where treasures were just waiting for me to discover. The prices were also a nice surprise. It all felt reasonable to less than I expected. Another neat addition to Dragonfly Shops and Gardens is that allot that you see in the shop you can also learn how to make by signing up for the classes they host. You can sign up via the info on the card seen on the desk. Some of the pictures I posted show off a handful of the options that can be made during those classes, such as the wreaths, to the mosaic bird house, from the shells and even the metal hangings. Its very much worth a visit for garden buffs, to unique jewelry collectors, to even someone looking to add a novel new piece of clothing to...

This is now my “go to” shop for personalized gifts.

Beth is absolutely delightful and the whole process from picking out your plant to the pot and then adorning it with adorableness just makes my whole day.

I have yet to create my own personalized plant but I have made 2 for dear friends who both loved their thoughtful gifts.

There is a huge variety of everything from lovely locally made ceramic pots to quirky coffee mugs equipped with holes and ready to home whatever whimsical plant and gnome or squirrel or charm you choose.

I am looking forward to attending an event here someday and will absolutely be back time...

Let me start off by saying how welcoming and joyful everyone is!

I am quite introverted so naturally I was nervous - but taking that step out of my comfort zone lead to a day filled with laughter that I'll never forget. ☺️

I heard of this place thanks to my cousin - we signed up for the succulent and terrarium workshop! 🌱🌵

They host a variety of workshops and I'll definitely be returning to participate in more. 💝
