Wetlands Trading Co

A unique and fantastic shop that has a wide variety of "new age" novelty, art and craft items from all over the world. The owners are friendly and personable; they will remember you by your second our third visit. Outside the shop are a huge number of lawn and garden decorative items too nunerous in variety to itemize here. \r If you can't find something here, inside or out, that strikes your fancy you are a seriously boring, humorless and Stiflingly conventional person. more

From a distance, coming around the turn, a magnificent sun goddess appeared through my windshield. Colors developed, swirled, and transformed me. I was intrigued by the energy that presented itself, and found myself pulling into the parking lot of Wetlands. I was surrounded by an ethereal world of waterfalls, gnomes, fairies, crystals and chimes singing in the breeze. I strolled through the garden paths and was delighted by the whimsical flow. I found my way around the winding paths that circled the koi ponds and began my ascent on the ramp leading to the gift shop. I was welcomed by the sound of quartz crystal bowls which resonated through the open windows and doors. When I stepped across the threshold, I was immediately taken back by the history of the hundred year old building which held such a variety of unusual, international finds. more
