When people first walk into The Green Banana, they often pause for a second—not because they’re lost, but because it doesn’t feel like an ordinary store. It feels like a cross between a cozy gift shop, an artisan market, and a thoughtfully curated lifestyle space.
That’s by design.
The Green Banana shares a building (and ownership) with Lakewood Botanicals, and together they create a unique dual experience:
- Lakewood Botanicals focuses on wellness-forward products (like CBD and related offerings).
- The Green Banana shines a spotlight on gifts, local and handcrafted products, and carefully chosen goods that are meant to be enjoyed, displayed, and shared.
A Store Built Around Discovery
The Green Banana isn’t about rows of identical items. It’s about finding things—the kind of things that make you say, “Oh, that’s perfect for them,” or “Okay, I’m keeping this for myself.”
Inside (and online), you’ll find a mix of:
- Artisan gifts – handmade pieces, small-batch goods, and items with a story.
- Home & lifestyle items – beautiful, functional products that actually get used.
- Thoughtful, feel-good finds – things that feel a little more personal than a big-box purchase.
- Curated organic and specialty foods – where it fits the store’s vibe and experience.
The goal: make it easy to find something meaningful, whether you’re shopping for a friend, a host gift, or a “you survived the week” treat for yourself.
One Door, Two Brands Working Together
The relationship between The Green Banana and Lakewood Botanicals is simple but powerful:
- If you’re looking for CBD or dedicated wellness products, that’s the Lakewood Botanicals lane.
- If you’re looking for gifts, artisan items, small-batch products, and local makers, that’s The Green Banana’s sweet spot.
Instead of trying to cram everything into one brand, the two work side by side. The result is a clearer shopping experience and a store that feels intentional rather than chaotic.
Why Customers Love It
People come back to The Green Banana because:
- The assortment feels curated, not cluttered
- There’s always something new to discover
- It celebrates makers and unique products instead of generic stock
- It pairs perfectly with Lakewood Botanicals—many customers naturally end up exploring both sides
Whether someone comes in for wellness, for a gift, or just to browse, they rarely leave empty-handed.
