Everytime I go to Bowood Farms, I leave with more than I anticipated. The shop is filled with the most beautiful items for gifts or just for yourself. They always have an amazing assortment of tropical house plants, cactus, and succulents. And for outdoor gardening, they have plants you won't find anywhere else. I love the staff, they are so knowledgeable and eager to help you find the perfect plant for your home or garden. I love this place.
