"Lena and John are incredibly helpful. They curate an amazing space and selection of goods. Always enjoy my time there."

"This gem of a store is my favorite thing about Manchester! Not only have I found a great local source for things like dried elderberries, which I used to have to order online, but every single time I step foot in the shop I discover a new treasure that must come home with me — from the best fine Maine sea salt to Christmas decorations that remind me of my childhood in Europe. But best of all are John and Lena. My 12 year old son literally rides his bike down just to hang out with them, and they graciously indulge him."

"I love going to Perennial. The owner is so kind and even more knowledgeable. She helps with your herbal recipes if you ask and will answer all your questions. Many of the herbs she sells are from her own garden. I highly recommend a trip (or 50) to Perennial!"

"Absolutely love this store! I really enjoyed the wall of dried tea and herbs available, with the ability to mix and match your own unique blend. I could easily spend a couple of hours in the store between the herbs/dried flowers and the D&D section as well! A little bit of something for everyone. I personally bought a bundle of dried flowers (arrangement in picture below), a custom tea blend, a happy birthday card, and a dragon shaped soy candle (also below). I am really happy with all my products and would recommend this store!"

"A hidden gem on Main St! Family friendly. Bought play dough for my daughters, and incense cones for myself. We loved this shop. Will be returning soon. Owner was super friendly and inviting :)"
