"I usually really enjoy shopping at Bowood but today's experience was just a complete disappointment. I entered the shop with specific needs in mind and hoping for the usual level of great service and knowledge but the three gentlemen working at the counter were so wrapped up in their personal conversation they could not even break away for a simple greeting or inquiry of what I might need. After being completely ignored for 15/20 minutes, I made my selections based on looking up plant information on my phone. Only once I set a plant by the register did one ask me if I was ready to pay. I replied not quite yet and he told me to just let them know when I was done. I can get this level of service at a big box store and pay less. I come to Bowood for a better experience and pay more for that. I'm hoping this message gets through. The only reason this is getting 2 stars is I am happy with the plants I selected."

"To call Boxwood Farms a nursery is to undersell this business. To call it a contemporary high end garden store would be a better description. Very tasteful pots, outdoor decorations as well as a good selection of exotic and outdoor plants would be more accurate. We did not try the restaurant which looks like it could be good."

"My co worker told me about this place. Went there for brunch it was a wait, I suggest you make a reservation. While you wait you can get a coffee or cocktail from the bar. Or you can buy some new plants for your garden. The vibe is like something you see in LA or the Carolina's. The service was good, I'm going back again a nice place for a date or upcoming Mother's Day."

"8/4/2024 11:30AM. Great service and healthy plants. Beautiful variety of colors for pots. Although they were busy with brunch, employees were all pleasant and extremely helpful. Two wonderful ladies inside the nursery were kind. They check me out quickly, watered my plant, and wrapped my gift beautifully. TYSM 💕🌱"

"Dined on April 4th. I enjoyed the decor and ambiance of Bowood. The windows are beautiful and the attached plant nursery and farm across the street make this a very unique location in STL. The dinner service, quality of the food, and the drinks were all above average. I had high expectations as it is owned by Niche and my expectations were mostly met. The staff were very polite and attentive. However, the waiter we had might have been training and he was not as knowledgeable about the wine list as he should have been. He could not make a recommendation for wine with my meal & he seemed nervous because of it. Also, when I asked about Bowood Farm and the sourcing of different ingredients he was not able to speak about it much. He did say in general Bowood sources as much as they can from their farm and try to keep any outsourcing of other ingredients local. I think maybe a little more training for new waiters/waitresses will help. The waiters at Brasserie are always so knowledgeable it was a bit off that it was not the same at Bowood. I will definitely be returning soon and was happy with the overall experience."
