You know it’s summertime at the Rose Garden Cafe

when you see the table clothes on the picnic tables

filled with happy people

eating healthy food

in an amazing park

by the cool beach

next to the Nelson Streetcar.

and play

and relish the summer sunshine.

The Space Between

Magic happens in the space between.

Between each other.

Between ourselves and our environments.

We love to create beautiful environments at the Rose Garden Cafe for you to enjoy.

We also love the appreciation and joy that is expressed to us by you,

between what we create and what you experience.

The space between has so much potential.

For us at the Rose Garden Cafe,

we thrive on opening, carrying and filling that space between

with happiness, beauty and nourishment

for everyone to enjoy.

Why?

Because it all truly matters….

the little things and the important things…..

in the space and environments,

in the experience,

and in the life shared

between each other.

Welcome to the Rose Garden Cafe….

.a consciously cultivated environment to be part of…..

open daily at Lakeside Park in Nelson.

 

 

The Coming of Summer

bike5It is such a joy to set up the cafe each season.

The children run up asking if they can help me water the plants or sweep the patio.

Parents are grateful to know we’re opening our cafe in the park.

The sun sparkles on the lake.

The weather brings a feeling of the coming of summer.

Join us this Saturday, May 24, from 11 to 6 ish…..

as we begin our new summer season

at Lakeside Park.

We’re busily preparing with you in mind.

Our delightful and enthusiastic customers.
