About the owner:

Green Springs opened October 10th, 2009.  Many thought I was insane to open a store of “feel good” products in the height of the recession.  Well, let’s just say it was never on my meticulously thought out road map of life I devised long ago……….

I was a cancer researcher, designing and testing novel therapeutics for breast cancer.  The recession took its toll and the hospital where I was employed terminated all bench research.  I found myself with a PhD but no job and no local job prospects.  Being tied to the area and not being one capable of sitting around for long, I devised a new life plan….and have never looked back.

Thus, Green Springs was born.  Sometimes it’s the unexpected that makes all the difference.

When given a choice, laugh,

Alison Springs
