Where shopping is an adventure, and fun is always in bloom!
Décor, Gifts, Gourmet, Flowers & Fashion As you step into Cindy’s Home and Garden through the elegant glass entrance, you’re immediately enveloped by a welcoming ambiance.. The cheerful staff members greet you with a warm “hello” or “welcome,” and you can’t help but feel a flutter of excitement as you embark on your shopping journey, confident that you’ll discover something truly special here.
Cindy’s story began in 1989 as a modest flower stand, founded by Ken and Cindy Martin. In 2019, after years of dedicated service, Ken retired, passing the torch to his nephew, Jason, and his wife, Tisha. The transition marked the beginning of a new era for Cindy’s Home and Garden.
Under the ownership of Jason and Tisha, Cindy’s expanded with the creation of Cindy’s Boutique, a haven for beautiful clothing, accessories, and more. The gift shop itself offers a wide range of products for every occasion, including spa items, home décor, and unique gifts. For those who struggle to choose, the Garden Centre beckons, offering frost-resistant pots, outdoor accessories, and a lush selection of seasonal plants.
To cater to food enthusiasts, Cindy’s Too boasts Essex County’s premier Olive Oil and Balsamic Tasting Bar, with over 65 premium flavours to savor. If you’re still undecided, T-Jay’z Cookery serves up delicious dishes crafted by the couple themselves, with a commitment to sourcing ingredients locally.
Located in Kingsville along the Lake Erie shoreline, on the wine route, Cindy’s is a beacon of hospitality, ready to welcome you. It’s a place where finding the perfect gift for a loved one brings smiles and joy every day.
