Decades ago, two friends from New Jersey, John Sclazo and Dan Mehler, embarked on a transformative journey, moving their families and belongings to South Florida. They invested in a dilapidated produce market on Federal Highway in Delray Beach, a decision that shaped their future. Today, after almost 30 years, their vision has beautifully unfolded; the once derelict local farmers market has blossomed into a vibrant tropical sanctuary, embodying the aspirations of Sclazo and Mehler.
Nowadays, the market presents itself as a dynamic, Key West-style boutique, serving as a refreshing retreat for those hunting for unique gifts, or wishing to explore an enticing world of exotic flora, island-inspired souvenirs, vivid ceramics, and flourishing fruit trees. The establishment boasts an array of flowers from all corners of the globe, assembled in-house by a team of adept designers.
Creative souls, including artists and photographers, are magnetically drawn to this Delray Beach haven, aptly named the Garden of Eden. Entranced by the rich, lively panorama, they come to capture its beauty on canvas and film. The Garden of Eden promises and delivers an outstanding experience to every visitor, making it a must-visit location in South Florida.
