Housed in a refurbished 135–year–old barn, Alena Jean Flower Shop & Nursery is a funky alternative to the big–box garden stores. Sure, it carries the usual suspects like sweet peas and pint–size perennials—all well cared for. But the shop also has the unusual, like a garden gnome with a secret compartment for hiding house keys. A gazebo hidden behind the nursery has a mini train chugging around it.
