Secret Garden is a non-franchise florist shop solely owned and operated by me, Dorothy Stepnowska. I offer designer floral arrangements from traditional to modern to exotic, and most recently I added organic soaps and candles to my selection of home goods. I also offer fun classes like glass painting and wreath making; and I can teach you how to make decorative paper flowers or how to create a succulent garden bowl. Outdoor Yoga classes* will soon be held in my lovely backyard which can also be rented for brunches, cocktail parties, photo shoots, and more!
When I opened Secret Garden in June, 2016, I quickly realized that I wanted to be more than just part of the Glendale/Ridgewood community, I wanted to give back to the community as well. I recently became a member the Friends of Ridgewood Garden volunteer group and I hosted it’s very first meeting earlier this year. In mid-May, I will also play host to The Excalibur Reading Program, a 501c3 non for profit literacy and arts program for both children and adults. I hope to continue serving the community by offering my shop to high school student study groups, book club gatherings, and any number of self improvement or community minded groups.
