Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly; a romantic dinner is always a good idea at one of our local eating establishments. Plus, shop local; The Secret Garden in Jeffersonville has re-opened on February 4 with numerous new Valentine’s Day items for everyone on your gift list and price point. Gorgeous table runners, bee-themed items, hand-crafted soaps and stuffed animals are just a few of the sweet goodies I have seen in their huge location next to the post office on Main Street.
