Faces of Truro Live

Enchanted Forest Eco Family Store

This week’s episode of Faces of Truro live was a perfect surprise and another example of why keeping an open mind is so important.  When we booked the show at Enchanted Forest I found myself wondering how we would weave in a travel theme at a “baby boutique” and make it relavent to you, our dear blog readers.

Little did I know, The Enchanted Forest has SO much more than baby stuff!  You guys, you’re going to love this!  This was a perfect show because Andrea and her team of awesome humans are so aligned with what we’re passionate about here at Dashboard — Sustainable, Eco Living!

I’m delighted to introduce you to this shop today… get ready to add to your wish list 😉

In this episode, Andrea tells us all about what the Enchanted Forest offers and why it’s super relavent to more than just eco-conscious parents.  Aside from having an amazing selection of parenting products including a carefully curated book selection, workshops, cloth diapers, childrens footwear and parenting support programs they’ve also got a TON of stuff that relates directly to you and I — The socially responsible traveler.
