Ferns Garden
5308-B East 2nd Street
Long Beach, CA 90803
Experience a truly unique “garden” of gifts among the trendy shops and restaurants of Long Beach’s Belmont Shore district. More than a gift store, Fern’s Garden is an affordable place to experience and purchase the inspiring work of American and fair trade artisans. You will feel the vibrating energy of the art from the moment you walk in the door, starting literally with perfectly tuned wind chimes from Jacob’s Musical Chimes (the company’s alter ego) and others. Many have called Fern’s Garden “The Encouraging Word Store” thanks to the inspiring selection of jewelry, wall art, tiles, books, greeting cards, music and T-shirts. Toss a penny into the huge Buddha head fountain as you admire labyrinths, good luck crystals, sand paintings and more in the Zen section.
