Ramona Revealed, DS Garden Shop in Ramona Ca

There’s truly nothing better than moving into a new home, and a part of that home is of course, your yard! So this week, we’re focusing on your outdoor space with an awesome and extremely unique Garden Shop located right here in Ramona! DS Garden Shop!

The owners, Michael and Alisa Gentilucci love gardening, and believe that your landscape is an extension of your home. Your landscape reflects your values and has an impact on your health just as much as the interior. With this belief, they started making their own garden sculptures like Containers, Animals, Birdbaths, Stepping Stones and of course, Statues! But one of the things I love about their store is their Meditating animals (See Zen Dog Below), as well as their fun and unique gift animals!

Their landscaping love eventually led them into opening up their own store and helping others build the space that accurately reflects who they are!

As their business continued to grow, and with a love of gardening, they started reaching out to other designers of yard decor and today, DS Garden Shop features the work from other manufactures from around the area!

As you walk through DS Garden Shop, you’ll see Garden Gnomes, Bird Houses, Stepping Stones, Bird Baths, Garden Markers, and so much more! Those of you more creative types can even watch the process of making them from start to finish as they make their own molds and you can actually watch the entire process from start to finish.

If you check out their Facebook Page, you’ll see some of the fun stuff they do like the adventures of Zen Dog! As well as some of their newest designs and additions to their collection!

“But Regina, I love this, but I don’t live in Ramona! Can I look at their collection online? Will they ship?” Of course they will! Check out their website at DSGardenShop.com and you can see their entire collection! Make sure you check out their very popular Zen Creations which are appealing to people of all walks of life so they recommend picking up a few extras Zens to spread a little joy to those you love. They will even give you Free Shipping on ANY combination of Zen Creations which value at $99.00 or more. Enter coupon code shipzensforfree on the view cart page and then select the free shipping option.

I really do love this shop, I love their story, I love that they promote other manufacturers and their love of helping others, and I’m so happy to showcase them! So go by, check them out, and get a free gift with EVERY purchase!

The Must Visit Coffee Shop in Ramona Ca: Packards!

This week on Ramona Revealed, we take a look at a must visit Coffee Shop in Ramona! Since 1993, The Packards Coffee Shop has been a staple of the Ramona community and a great place for Breakfast, Brunch, and of course, my favorite….crepes!  Great coffee, food, and the best spot to hang out on Cruise Nights.

Cruise Night Specials

One of the things I love about the Packards Coffee Shop, and what makes it a must visit Coffee Shop in Ramona is that it’s the perfect place to go to on Thursday nights to meet up with friends for the Ramona American Graffiti Cruise. This popular summertime tradition takes place Thursday nights and runs through September and you can count on Packards Coffee Shop to showcase their “Weekly Cruise Special” on their Facebook Page

Cars will begin to gather for the cruise between 6:15 and 6:30 p.m. Most drivers line up near Ron’s Tire & Brake on Etcheverry at Main Street, while others join along the way.
