Summary
Stoney Acres Garden and Gifts was a seasonal garden-and-craft business described by the Beaver Beacon in June 2004 as operating behind Stoney Acres Grill. The article says Cheryl Podgorski ran the shop, which sold plants, garden pieces, jewelry, clothing, and other handmade work, and added space for Dan Gentle’s cedar furniture.
The road relation uses the associated Grill’s directory setting off King’s Highway; the source does not give the garden shop a separate street number or parcel.
Open questions
- Was the garden shop in the same building or parcel as the Grill?
- What years did it operate, and did it continue under another name?
- Are Cheryl Podgorski’s workshops, artworks, or business records preserved?
Sources
- Reports that Cheryl Podgorski opened Stoney Acres Garden and Gifts for the third year behind Stoney Acres Grill, selling plants, garden crafts, jewelry, clothing, and other work, and adding a bay for Dan Gentle’s cedar furniture. It gives no parcel, exact address, business registration, or closure date.
- Provides the held directory context for the associated Stoney Acre Grill, which the directory places one mile south of the boat dock off King’s Highway. It does not independently locate the garden shop’s exact parcel.
- Uses the associated Grill’s representative point, approximately one road mile south of the mapped St. James boat-dock area. The source says the garden shop was behind the Grill; this does not establish a separate shop footprint.osm · roads
