MANAGEMENT
Co-owner Anna-Lisa Daniel said
Clay is best-known for its outdoor
planters, many of which can be
converted into water features.
C
lay Garden and Gifts opened in
2012 after a downturn in the
economy and an oil spill closed
the previous nursery that had been
located in the same spot. Anna-Lisa
Daniel and her husband Jason merged
their talents and professions (he in
horticulture, and she in interior design)
and opened Clay.
Over the years, Daniel said they
believe that God is ever shaping and
molding the company.
" In 2020, right as COVID restrictions
were beginning, we took on partners, "
she said. " This was a blessing because
partners were able to help us make
decisions regarding unchartered
territory. With partners, we were also
able to make capital improvements,
including adding pavers throughout
the garden and a new permanent
outdoor sales kiosk. We opened
a wholesale plant division for our
landscape customers and purchased
the lot next to our nursery where we
would eventually move four historic
cottages to expand our offerings. "
A Cottage Collection
These cottages, formerly
comprising a motel called Seagrove
Cottages, were renovated and
opened to its customers last year,
each housing different product
categories. The garden cottage offers
a large selection of chemicals, tools,
seeds, birding and windchimes,
while the outdoor living cottage
contains outdoor furniture and
accessories, including pillows and
rugs, lighting, citronella candles and
outdoor tableware.
The front cottage is the new home
to 1920 & Co., a local community
floral business acquired last year.
" It was a great fit for us, " Daniel
said. " We shared a lot of the same

What's in a Name?
" Our name comes from Isaiah 64:8, 'But now, O Lord, Thou art our
Father; we are the clay, and Thou our potter; and we all are the work
of Thy hand.' Being a Christian-run business was important to both
of us, " said Anna-Lisa Daniel, co-owner of Clay Garden and Gifts.
