The Bay Tree

I think that there are actually three florists in total in Cowbridge, and then there’s a number of stores that sell ready made bunches of flowers and potted plants, including Tesco, Filco and the fruit and veg shop. This means for pretty stiff competition in a town this size!
Bay Tree contends with the competition in two ways. For one it’s carved out a bit of a niche in that it it’s cornered the cottage garden sector of the market, as well as having branched out into gardening supplies and a few gift items.
I really like this florist. It carrys a lot of blooms that I really appreciate. They aren’t as showy as some of the exotic imports that we can get these days, but they are as equally impressive in their own particular way. The quality of the stock here is also excellent. I’ve had some bunches of flowers from here last a good three weeks… so they offer value for money too!

This is an excellent florist on Cowbridge high street stocking a wide range of flowers, the orchids being my particular favourite (simply stunning).
The shop also had a good selection of quality garden ornaments as well as some very unusual larger gifts for that special birthday or anniversary. A beautifully carved coffee table made from a tree trunk aught my eye, and may just appear on my Christmas list (I think way ahead)!
It was a pleasure to wander around this tasteful airy shop. The owner was pleasant and the background classical music added to the overall ambiance of the environment.
