The Secret Garden

I had my only daughter nearly thirteen years ago. And I have only, in the last year or two, been able to keep myself from repeatedly committing retail suicide at the lovely and sophisticated children's wear store, The Secret Garden. It's located inside Trolley Square, which on it's own has a great atmosphere. But the Secret Garden has remained my hands-down favorite corner of the mall. It's upscale appeal is completely irresistible. Who doesn't want to clothe their baby princess, head to foot, in lush velvets or pastel satins, or tiny, victorian-style buttoned shoes? Who doesn't want their little guy decked out in an old-fashioned sailor outfit? Before he gets too old to tolerate such motherly silliness? Who doesn't want their child to look like divine infant royalty--at least every once in a while.
I've indulged at The Secret Garden for occasions including weddings, religious ceremonies, Easters, and portraiture. And even though my children have grown out of the clothing much too quickly, I've never been sorry for a moment. You just aren't going to find the selection of fine children's clothing carried at the Secret Garden at any other Salt Lake location.
In addition to the clothing, they carry some enchanting furniture and gift items. Guilded pirate chest for your little man, anyone? Hand-painted potty chairs? Detailed ceramic baby tooth boxes? They've been seen at The Secret Garden.
If you have a little one, don't let the years pass too quickly without splurging at least once on a tiny piece of retail heaven. It's worth it.
