Q&A: Gift Boutique Meets Garden Haven in Eau Gallie Shop
Brevard, FL – Shelly McKinney is on a mission to make Brevard beautiful. The Cocoa Beach native opened Elbow Creek Garden & Gift, named for the former moniker of the Eau Gallie River, nearly two years ago, striving to educate residents about organic products as well as the types of plants that can thrive in Central Florida’s salt and sand. According to the 35-year gardening expert, local landscaping can be so much more than palms and crotons.
Question:How would you describe Elbow Creek Garden & Gift?
McKinney: A gift boutique meets garden haven. It’s a gift shop for gardeners, for home and garden. I have a full-service garden center. I specialize in flowering plants, organic herbs and organic pesticides for Central Florida.
