About
The Hippie Shack and Garden Center was established in August 2024 after making the difficult decision to leave my job and begin my journey to find a deeper purpose to my life.
In 2014 I lost my husband to lung cancer. Upon approaching the 10-year anniversary of his passing, I realized I wasn't honoring him by honoring myself. Meaning, I haven't followed my dreams regardless of his constant reminder that life is too short. From 2014 to 2020 I endured several years of survival mode, including relocating to Carrollton, Ohio and eventually buying property in Waynesburg, Ohio. During those years I successfully raised my son and witnessed his courageous decision to become a United States Marine. His strength and determination inspired me to change my life as well.
In May 2024, I quit my job and started to build my business. The Hippie Shack and Garden Center showcases my artistic talent as well as my love for nature. All my artistic creations are custom made and the vegetable plants are organically grown. I want to provide a unique experience for all my customers in hopes they will be inspired to overcome obstacles with a positive attitude and never give up.
