Did you catch me on WCCO News with AJ and Heather this morning chatting about the store? We have seen a trend in first and second dates for our craft classes so we talked about that, did a fun demo of gemstone candles (the next class is this Wednesday!), and we even found time to chat about some of the newest rocks found on the planet that we brought back from the Tucson gem show! Always an amazing experience and AJ and Heather are super sweet!

The Lakewood tulips are returning and we’re going bigger than ever with over 50,000 tulips across our grounds! 🌷

To mark the return of this treasured tradition, join us May 3–10 for Tulip Week, a celebration of spring featuring special events, peaceful walks, and moments of reflection in one of Minneapolis’ most beautiful settings. Wander among vibrant blooms and experience the season in full color.

A gentle note: Tulips bloom on their own schedule, guided by the weather—so we can’t guarantee peak bloom during these dates.
