IMPORTANT Parking Notice for Class Participants If you're attending a free class and are able to walk a short distance (of 1 block), please consider parking on Altadena Ave and walking over. This keeps our lot available and flowing for customers shopping at our three businesses who may be on tight schedules. We greatly appreciate your spirit of generosity when it comes to our shared space. When classes fill up, a full parking lot can prevent other shoppers from visiting our stores. By parking on the street, you help ensure everyone can access our businesses and our neighbors continue to thrive. As our classes gain in popularity, we want to continue to welcome you, but it needs to be a “win” for everyone. Street parking is one way you can make that possible. Planning to shop? No worries! You can easily swing back through our "Loading Zone" after class for convenient drive-up loading of bulky purchases—no parking required.
