Johnbela Gift, Garden, and Masonry Supplies

There’s new life blossoming in a gift shop that opened last month in Gaylordsville. A variety of indoor plants and arrangements, as well as gifts of all sorts are featured at Johnbela Gift Garden & Masonry Supplies located at 640 Kent Road (Route 7). In stock for the holiday season are Christmas trees, wreaths and other greens. “I love what I do,” said Eloisa Guaman, who co-owns the store with her husband, Juan. “This is what I want to be doing.”

The store is its own entity but operates under the umbrella of Johnbela Landscaping, which the couple has owned for 15 years. Guaman said she imagined the potential of the property at 640 Kent Road (Route 7) while driving by one day.
