If you’re searching for a philodendron, a vintage coffee cup, or a birthday card, this cozy gift and garden shop is sure to charm — whether or not you have a green thumb.
When Suzanne and Edgar Cabrera head into The Tiny Greenhouse each morning, it feels like their own jungle oasis. By late 2015, the couple had been designing and selling greeting cards and art prints out of their Greensboro home for five years when fate — and a promise to Suzanne’s late father — brought them a fresh start in the new year. It was, they say, meant to be. Since then, their shop has provided a cozy space for an array of their passions: greeting cards and artwork; an ever-changing assortment of quirky vintage finds; journals, patches, and pins; and, of course, lots of plants. And the self-described introverts have been surprised, not just at the warm response from customers, but by their own love for the shop. “It’s been so rewarding,” Suzanne says. “You get to meet people where they are. You see that there is some kindness in this world.” For prospective plant owners, heed this encouragement: “People have an innate need to nurture,” Edgar says. “We can nourish a plant, care for it, listen to it.” And for those with a bad track record, take heart in knowing that it’s a process, even for experts: “Oh, it’s been a massacre over the years,” Edgar laughs. “It takes patience and fine-tuning.” Patience that comes in handy during the five hours it takes Edgar to water the store. But does he mind? “You kidding me? It’s the best.”
This tiny city block in downtown Greensboro once had a gigantic reputation. Not so much for its charbroiled beef patties — though they, too, were plentiful — but for its colorful characters and their wild shenanigans.
In the 1950s, as Americans hit freshly paved roads in shiny new cars during the postwar boom, a new kind of restaurant took shape: the drive-in. From those first thin patties to the elaborate gourmet hamburgers of today, North Carolina has spent the past 80 years making burger history.
