History

Established in 1976.

Opened May 3, 1976 at 162 W. High Street in Carlisle, and originally called «My Father’s Garden.» The business at that time featured house plants, crafts, antiques, an art gallery, and custom framing/​restoration. In 1980, the business moved to its current address and changed its name to «The Garden Gallery,» to better reflect its transition to a strictly fine arts & crafts gallery that featured fine custom framing, as well as art, photo, frame and even statue restoration.
