Ten Years and Zinnia’s is Still Going StrongBy Michelle SantosScottsValley.Patch.com

Whether it’s for an obscure occasion or to show someone how truly special they are, Zinnia’s Home and Garden has something for even the pickiest recipient.

From purse hooks to chenille baby swaddle blankets, Zinnia’s is bursting like a spring bouquet, brimming with colorful, fragrant and fun gifts. The one-stop gift shop is tailored to meet customer needs for garden, birthday, special occasion and holiday shopping. It’s hard to not find things to buy at Zinnia’s Home and Garden.

Proprietor Marion Palm chose the Scotts Valley locale, at 219 Mt. Hermon Rd., in Graham Plaza because Starbucks was opening up next door. A boutique needs foot traffic to find success, and Starbucks helps make that happen.

In June, Zinnia’s will celebrate its 10-year anniversary.

“Things are going very well,” Palm said. “We have a great team, a great location and excellent customers—that’s what you need for success.”

Palm said her customers are loyal and have kept Zinnia’s busy during a time when lots of small businesses have not been so fortunate. Customers know that if they need a gift, Zinnia’s will deliver. Mother’s Day was so busy at the store, said salesperson Ana Jiménez, it was like a second Christmas.
