New Flower Shop Downtown 💐
Did you know that we have a flower shop downtown? A few months ago, Blue Ridge Flower Exchange opened in one of the retail spaces at The Bower Apartments! This is a collective of experienced growers who provide high-quality blooms for the community. To grab a fresh bouquet, swing by the store at 17-D Campbell Ave SW, Wednesday-Friday, 3-6pm or Saturday, 10-2pm.
