The Charm of the Farm
Labor of Love:
Pottery Express and Bamboo Farm has unique items for your home and gardens on a 5-acre property that is scattered with idea gardens showcasing the tropical clumping bamboo and colorful garden pottery and statuary. Whether you are seeking a serene fountain, a single cobalt blue pot, a pair of matching pots for your front entrance, or a special focal point bamboo plant; this place sells what you are looking for.
We feel very grateful to reminisce on our humble beginnings. Fill dirt from the digging water ditches in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley was used to rise this beautiful farm up from a piece of swampland. The business opened in July 2004 as an agricultural bamboo farm. We only sell tropical clumping bamboo that stays behaved in its 8-foot growth circle as opposed to the cold-tolerant running bamboo that takes over acres of the property once planted. We instantly fell in love with the fact that clumping bamboo has so many varieties showcasing beautiful canes in varying size diameters and showy colors. We have chosen a selection of about 20 out of 1000+ species to carry on our farm to suit your needs, whether ornamental or for privacy hedging.
Slowly, we brought in pottery from Mexico in the rustic clay pots and the brilliantly colored Talavera ceramics. The harsh summer sun and rainy season of Southern Florida made the Vietnamese durable pottery a natural addition to our offerings. Just the feel of the thick and pure clay used to form these pieces of garden art lets you know that you can expect to enjoy this sturdy pot for many years with little effort. The beautiful color selections come with a thick glaze that has been high fired to seal the color to the molded clay. We have a long-term relationship with 2 families in Vietnam that produce the handmade pottery for us. Each order takes about 6 months of production time and ocean travel before it is delivered to Punta Gorda.
We value the relationships that we have built with our suppliers and they are very happy to have a way to distribute their creations. Generally, each family has developed a process of their craft that has been handed down for generations. We only buy Mexican Talavera from a few families because they have the highest quality pots and the best painting. The quality is very noticeable when held in comparison to pottery produced by others that do not take as much pride in their craft.
We carry several American made lines, such as doTerra essential oils, Case knives, Woodstock Windchimes, Studio M flags and doormats, Hostetler poly lumber furniture, and Henri Stonecaster fountains and statuary. We even have a local artist that occasionally demonstrates his hand-thrown pottery craft and a display of his artful dishware for sale.
Over 60,000 items set among the connecting warehouses and acreage give shoppers a fun day to venture out away from the shopping malls. We welcome you to just come out and spend time enjoying the beautiful landscape and zen feeling of the walking paths that meander throughout the property. We are dog-friendly but do ask that you keep them on a leash, not only for their safety but for the safety of our guests. Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes to make exploring our farm and botanical gardens easier. We are so grateful to have this little piece of "Garden Bliss" to share with you!
