Turn to Nature is a science, nature and travel-themed gift shop located in the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo since 2010. Inspired by nature’s beauty, the retail space welcomes guests with a large fountain, charming brick walls and hundreds of silk butterflies hanging from the high ceilings, drawing customers into a peaceful environment filled with merchandise that is environmentally friendly, natural, educational and healthy. In an effort to display merchandise showing something for everyone, owner Paul Karlen and store manager Paula Womble keep the 2200 sq. ft. of retail space fresh, funky and fun.
