After a decade of antique treasure hunting, estate sale expert Jason Cohen’s eclectic inventory had outgrown the midsized Lakewood shop, Curiosities, he runs with his mother, Terry. They knew it was time for a second storefront, but one with more growth opportunity. äóìWe had wanted to do a garden shop for a while,äó Cohen says. äóìWe were just waiting for the right space.äó They found it at the edge of Little Forest Hills, right next to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, and opened Curious Garden in March. Green thumbs can furnish their gardens with a mix of vintage sculptures, farmhouse finds, and other accessories. Less-seasoned gardeners can seek assistance from Jason’s wife, landscape designer Barbara Cohen.
