Cleveland is a concrete jungle, right? Buildings line streets as far as the eye can see, although the occasional urban green space breaks up the landscape. While the city is nicknamed Forest City, Cleveland can't quite shake its reputation as a bustling Rustbelt city. Locals that are in the know, however, are well aware that many enchanting oases exist within city limits — you only have to know where to look. While we think the Cleveland Cultural Gardens is one site worth visiting, locals have also found solace at one incredible garden center in town that's an unexpected breath of fresh air. Nestled amidst the buzz of a big city, you'll find a mystical garden bar at Cavotta's Garden Center in Cleveland.
Cavotta's Garden Center on Nottingham Road in Cleveland is an absolute gem, and it's an unexpected find in such an urban community.
This enchanting garden center is a dream for Clevelanders. Annuals, perennials, and more than 150 varieties of tomato can be found here, equipping locals with the opportunity to foster and perfect their green thumb while beautifying their own home.
Visitors are often surprised to learn that there are live animals in this urban oasis.
Goats, chickens, and a cat are frequently spotted at Cavotta's, and it's no secret why — they love it here just as much as visitors do! While we enjoy the expansive offerings hiding in this landscape, the critters appreciate friendly guests with a passion for conversation — or at least they seem to with how vocal they get.
