Since 1975, the One of a Kind show’s roots have been deeply connected to the culture of craft. They have participated in its growth, and are excited to witness its evolution. One Of A Kind is driven forward is the core belief that craft can enrich our lives with diverse context and perspectives.

Tangled Garden
Tangled Garden is celebrating thirty years old this year! That’s how long they ahve been growing herbs and using them to make savory jellies. From garlic rosemary to our newest combination, rhubarb rose, Tangled Garden jams and jellies are made daily in small batches. We are also a licensed distillery. In addition to their herb infused liqueurs we’ve been playing with fruit cordials. For a spring tonic, stop by the Tangled Garden booth and sample some Elderflower or Strawberry Basil. And of course, if you’re in Nova Scotia, come to historic Grand Pre for a leisurely stroll through the Tangled Garden, herb ice-cream in hand. Plan a visit to leisurely stroll the gardens, enjoy a meditative walk through a flower labyrinth or step into the shop where the fragrant smells of jellies being made drift from their kitchen.
