New location 40 E Poplar St., Zionsville
A fresh, creative business is blooming in Zionsville with a new location, thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of Abby Perry and the support of the Boone Economic Development Corporation (Boone EDC). Abby’s Garden Parties, a one-of-a-kind terrarium bar, recently opened its doors to the public, inviting community members to explore their artistic side by designing personalized terrariums in a fun, hands-on setting.
For Abby Perry, the opening of Abby’s Garden Parties Zionsville location represents the culmination of a long-held dream. Her journey began with a passion for plants and a desire to bring people together in a unique, nature-centered way. But like any successful venture, it took more than an idea to turn her dream into reality.
“Abby’s Garden Parties blossomed from a seed I planted years ago,” Perry shared. “The Boone EDC six-week business collaboration course was like sunlight and water, giving my idea the nutrients it needed to grow. Their support helped me cultivate a solid business plan and truly root my terrarium bar in the community.”
The Boone EDC played a key role in helping Abby launch her business. Not only did she benefit from the guidance and resources provided in the EDC’s business collaboration course, but she also secured a microloan through the organization to help with startup costs. This support gave Abby the financial and strategic boost she needed to bring her vision to life in Zionsville.
Jessica Schwarz, Vice President of Economic Development at Boone EDC, expressed her enthusiasm for Abby’s journey. “We are proud to support passionate entrepreneurs like Abby Perry, whose creativity and vision enhance the fabric of Boone County. Abby’s Garden Parties is a shining example of what can happen when community resources and local entrepreneurs come together to bring an idea to life. We look forward to seeing Abby’s business flourish and inspire others in the region.”
Abby’s Garden Parties isn’t just a business; it’s an experience that brings people together in a shared love for plants, creativity, and the joy of making something with their hands. Whether hosting private events, group workshops, or walk-in sessions, the terrarium bar has already captured the hearts of many in Zionsville and beyond.
As Abby’s business grows, so too does the impact of Boone EDC’s mission to nurture local talent and foster economic development in Boone County. The EDC continues to provide financial assistance, business courses, and strategic support to entrepreneurs, helping them plant roots and grow thriving businesses in the community.
