Officially Vacant: Former Eye of the Day Garden Design

By Montecito Journal   |   November 19, 2024

The lots formerly leased by Brent and Suzi Freitas – owners of the well-known Eye of the Day Garden center, with its megalith garden statues and pottery – is now empty with For Lease signage. The Freitas moved their business to two locations: Los Alamos, to join their daughter, owner of Michelin starred Bell’s Restaurant there, and the other in Camarillo, just off Highway 101. Visiting the Camarillo location will be by appointment only, and will focus solely on Italian, Greek and French pottery. 

What will happen to the empty lot is up for speculation with the continued upgrading of the little town to a modernized millennial map. 

Across the street at 4675 Carpinteria Ave., are plans for a two-story 2,784 square foot mixed use building with a 494-square-foot ground floor commercial space and two upstairs one-bedroom apartment units that are 880 square feet each. The Carp ARB will review it at their November 14 meeting. Stay tuned for what will likely be the start of a new Carpinteria Avenue.
