One of my favorite things to do on a road trip is to stop in and visit local nurseries and other funky spots in order to take photos and also to just feel the vibes of a location. Snooping around and seeing what other greenies do with their display space is very enjoyable for me. Pictured here are some planters found at the Umbrella Factory in Charlestown, RI.
These pots hold an assortment of truly magnificent tropicals, mainly Begonias, Caladium and Colocasia (Elephant Ears). These are all interesting foliage plants...good for part shade. Impressive!
The Umbrella Factory hosts several small shops and boutiques, ecclectic and unconventional in nature. It's a fun place to spend a couple of hours poking around. The property is reminiscent of an old hippie commune and the gardens hold much charm and many plant surprises, as they ramble past old farm equipment and broken down cars. This is all part of the draw here. There is a small nursery here as well.
