Shop where Louisville Chef's shop

For those of you who miss shopping at Creation Gardens when we were downtown, have you tried our on line shop yet? If not, read our our wonderful review in the Courier Journal.

Michael,

I've always loved Creation Gardens and shopped the retail store every couple of months, but ordering on-line is just not the same as being able to wander the aisles finding wonderful new things. And while I understand it was your business decision, the new model doesn't meet my needs unless it's for the rare case of a truly specialty item that I know I need in advance ( like edible flowers).
I was actually on the site two weeks ago, looking for duck confit.

There was a discussion on Hotbytes about this last year, in case you haven't read it:

Wishing you the best of luck with the new building and model-

+1

and I'll find specialty items at stores that will let me walk around in them.

It was a huge disappointment when CG moved from downtown and an even bigger disappoinment when they axed the storefront.

Same here i loved Creation Gardens and was even looking forward to the new location when it was planned for the old haymarket site but I am afraid you lost my business when you closed the retail store. I order a lot of things online, but the best part of your place was trying new things and wandering around.

Another +1 ... wondering the aisles, smelling/seeing/touching the products prior to purchase, finding new treasures.

Buying produce on-line simply does not provide the inspiration that walking through a store does.

I hate to make a post that just says, "me too," but that's about all I can say. I LOVED shopping at CG and wish I still could browse.
