Owned by businessman-turned-artist, Chris Smartt, Solstice Outdoors, or just Solstice for short, was founded in October of 2007 after Chris decided that he wanted to leave the corporate world to pour his passion into a business that had a soul. With a passion for sculptures and gardening and a desire to provide an outdoor space for visitors to enjoy, Solstice was born. What started as a small plant nursery and art gallery has now grown into a sprawling complex with gorgeous landscape designs to explore and installation services to avail. As guests explore the garden, they can also search for the various sculptures on display and learn about gardening and landscaping. There is also a small store to visit which sells locally produced items like hand-crafted soap.
