Our Retail Store

The Perennial Bee

A Better World Boutique

In April of 2020, just as Covid-19 began, we rented the storefront next door and opened The Perennial Bee as a retail social enterprise for our high school students. Our students selected the all-natural, zero-waste, and fair trade inventory, waited on customers, priced merchandise, created marketing campaigns and window displays, fulfilled online orders and learned valuable business skills in a thriving retail store.

Unfortunately, post-Covid we are not able to work with high school students and we closed our store in April 2024. We are thankful to our customers who helped provide valuable experiences for our students, along with earned income for Green Works!
