Elaine Kleinbaum, owner of Garden of Eden stores, dies at 79 Deborah Caulfield Rybak, Star Tribune Published May 12, 2003 KLEI12 Elaine Kleinbaum, whose Garden of Eden bath and body-care stores have been keeping Twin Citians soft and fragrant for more than 30 years, died Thursday of complications of scleroderma. She was 79. Garden of Eden opened in 1972, the only store in town offering patrons such "exotic" products as aloe vera lotion and loofah sponges. Kleinbaum, a licensed public accountant, kept the books for the owners -- her niece and another partner.
