The Fantastic Umbrella Factory

The Fantastic Umbrella Factory in Charlestown, RI is quite the unique place.  Little shops and a cafe tucked into pathways covered in winding vines and bright flowers.  It has a super bohemian, hippie vibe, especially when you walk into one of the little shops and incense is burning. Chickens and ducks roam around the property and there are even emus and goats!  They host large greenhouses filled with interesting plants, like some of my favorites- pitcher plants and passion flowers.  It's a fun, off the beaten path, kind of place to visit even if you aren't in the market for incense or flowers.
