Carole Coler-Dark

Carole Coler-Dark, the owner of the Rose and Thorn is the magic behind the beautiful gift shop and gardens. Everyone who visits is treated like family. "What I wanted to create was a happy place" says Carole, and she's done just that by creating a beautiful safe haven filled with flowers, animals, unique, whimsical gifts, and of course her energizing and uplifting personality. "We all have roses in life and we all have thorns. I have people come in and tell me 'When we feel gloomy, this is where we come to feel good.'" This is one awesome woman, and you just have to meet her!
