Cheryl Gicewicz opened her first shop, Flowers by Nature, in 1996 with a vision to create beautiful floral designs inspired by the natural world. After years of serving her community’s floristry needs, she decided in 2021 that it was time for a change—Second Nature was born. Flowers by Nature moved to a new location better suited to the needs of the growing business, and in its original space, Second Nature emerged as a destination for unique gifts, garden, and home décor.

Located at 82 Elm Street in historic East Aurora, Second Nature has quickly established itself as the go-to spot for bespoke gifts, beautiful houseplants, and one-of-a-kind home and garden décor—all inspired by Cheryl’s original vision of bringing nature into the home.
