LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT!A great place to go to buy neat pottery,but I especially loved the bamboo! It was nice to see the grown plants and the prices went from very affordable ( decent size pot) to bigger pots with huge plants in them, but still great price for the size of the plant! Id recommend going,if just to see the pottery. I really liked that they have golf carts for you to borrow to see all they have!

We Loved walking around & Looking at Everything... We ended up buying two 3 gal. Pots of Buddha Belly Bamboo & a Copper Leaf Bush (think that was the name). They were Very Friendly & Helpful... Next visit will be For Pots, for which they have An Abundance of Unique & Beautiful Varieties to Choose From...👍

We had so much fun! I had no idea of the acres and Acres of beautiful painted pottery we would see. The staff was helpful, and everything was cleaned. We even sore the chickens that roam around the property as well as the turtles that came up to us looking for the food. Definitely a relaxing Pleasant afternoon5

This place is beautiful. The entire family went. Had a picnic lunch in a gazebo then walked around to look at all the beautiful pots and art. Even took a ride through the bamboo on a golf cart. I cant wait to go back!

Amending my review because at the end of the day, this has become a negative experience. We selected this company because we thought they were knowledge experts. If you buy there, you need to be the expert apparently. At no point were we asked what kind of fountain we wanted or if we wanted it to be lit from within. When my husband called to ask, he was told it was too late to put in a light. They offered us one that runs the wire up over the visible top and down the visible side. That will not only be ugly but it will change the water pattern. After spending more than $800 .. I would have expected that a knowledgeable staff would ask you about your options at the time of signing. Heck, that is how you upsell customers and increase sales! I wanted to leave them an excellent review but now the fountain I wished for for years is just going to remind me to shop somewhere else to finish our yard renovation.It just gets worse... The pump they sold us for $60 gets weaker by the day. 3 days running on high and it barely makes a ripple. So over this. Saw the same pump on Amazon for half the price... Its not rated for moving that much water at our head pressure. Its undersized and burning out. Shopper do your own research.

Very relaxed place to shop. The people that work there really enjoy giving great customer service. Price seems, to me, better than art shows. Needs less Mexican influence and more Caribbean influences. That is just my opinion.This is an awesome day trip, but beware you will but something.

Incredible selection at reasonable prices. The entire staff is ready to help you with any questions you may have. Anthony, Gill and Nick just to mention a few are always available and happy to help. Walk around the massive grounds and be amazed.

This little gem is amazing. The pottery is plentiful and just beautiful. We have several pieces from pottery express and love them all. The staff there are so helpful. They literally will run to you to help carry that perfect piece of pottery to the checkout. We always find something unusual and beautiful there. It is also a bamboo farm and they do have a few plants to accent your pottery. Go there, you won’t be disappointed.

What a place... a gem off of Burnt Store road in Punta Gorda. If you are looking for a a clay or ceramic pot, dishware or figure, this is the place!!! It should be considered an Arboretum as well. The place is a bamboo farm so huge bamboo planting provide a backdrop to beautiful displays of their products. So much fun exploring all of the displays and buildings. Even if you arent looking for anything, it is still worth the trip. Uber friendly staff making sure you understand the grounds. They even have golf carts that you can drive around to find product. Will definitely be back again!!!!

Extremely nice people working in the field helping customers and many styles of pots to choose from but upper management needs a lesson in customer service. Extremely arrogant and I’m just guessing here but they don’t have much if any competitors is the reason why. I will not return!

We HIGHLY recommend Pottery Express & Bamboo Farm if you want to enjoy the peaceful tranquility of bamboo trees that also provide a wonderful screen to hide unsightly views. Debbie and Rob are extremely knowledgeable on how to care and maintain bamboo. They went above and beyond answering all of our questions both before and AFTER the sale. We have made two purchases for a total of 11 trees and could not be happier!Pottery Express also offers a large selection of unique pottery... we purchased a very interesting Easter Island head that we placed beneath the bamboo.

They feature Vietnamese, Mexican and one other genre of pottery. All sizes, all colors. They loan you a golf cart to explore the many acres of products. Beware, you are not going to find a large pot for $20 like at Ollies! This one cost $114.00.

Great place to walk around and see tons of unique pottery items. Huge bamboo trees to admire. You can also buy both items while there. Get on their mailing list to get notified of the happenings at the farm; drum circles, reiki classes, samples and classes on essential oils and more. Most events are free or very low priced. Nice place to take visiting friends.

Review №75

I almost didn’t go today because of some reviews about the cost of the pottery. This was a fun, long and enjoyable trip today. I intended to ‘window shop’ only but never have I seen such a collection of Mexican/ Talavera pottery. If you know talavera you know it’s expensive and hand painted. I didn’t find the cost, especially considering the rare items, at all exorbitant. They also took time and care to pack things nicely for my long 10 hour drive home. Can’t wait to return next year! So hard to choose! Got lots of nice things to display!

Review №77

Way too big and hard to find what I wanted. For as many pieces as they had I couldn’t find what I was looking for. I thought everything looked drab. Prices were higher than other places in fort myers. If you’re looking for a day trip to wander around I guess it would be a good place to go. But if you want high quality pottery without a long drive (coming from ft myers) stay in fort myers, there’s better places there.

Cool place with a lot to see. The gardens are gorgeous. If you’re going in the summer I would bring a bottle of water or two, it’s pretty hot even inside of the buildings with the fans running. I’ll have to come back in the fall when I can spend more time and really enjoy it. You can borrow golf carts to tour the area and that was really convenient.

This is THE best place for imported pottery and the sales people are helpful. You can find pottery from Spain and many items made of wood from Indonesia. Beautiful water fountains, large wall pots and small wall pots, any kind of critter from frogs to dogs, horses, monkeys, day of the dead critters and people. If you dont want to buy just go look it is well worth the visit!! PS prices are fair!

OUTSTANDING DAY TRIPIf you are looking for an interesting shopping (or browsing) experience check this out. Its the largest display of indoor and outdoor pottery and artwork Ive ever seen. Both indoor open-air barns as well as exterior displays, including gardens, make this an enjoyable experience! We visited for about an hour and didnt see it all. Plenty of shade available for those that crisp like I do. Enjoy!P.S. Try lunch at Callaloo Caribbean Restaurant, about 10 minutes away, for something different.
