I'm never in this part of town so 'getting' to drive here was a pleasure. I love that I am still…read moreable to 'discover' Nashville these [redacted] years later. And it was doubly exciting because I very rarely ever shop at a nursery or go in search of one. This was one for the ages. It may not be the first place that comes to mind when holiday shopping but I had the idea of gifting a series of flowers that align with birth months, anniversaries and special memories as gifts. Think of it as 'art' that lives in your yard. But that's about all I had figured out. Luckily, the folks at Bates took care of the rest. First things first, the place is large. It's not overwhelmingly so (so, not Opryland) but it's big enough that if you don't know what you're doing or what you're looking for, you're going to be the Sims character who just spins. Not being shy about my lack of clues, I walked up to the desk and said what I was trying to do/buy and I didn't know what else to do after that. After being complimented about my thoughtfulness, I was tag-teamed: I was given directions to find a specific person to talk to about flowers and another about shrubbery. Given that you will actually be walking through distinct areas/zones, I was given landmarks to note. I appreciated all of this. I was a fish out of water and every instruction was a sign of kindness. I found my first contact (who had been given a heads up by walkie talkie) and she was awesome. She was so awesome that I just went all in with flowers and forgot the shrubs. She explained zones, planting times, soil, perennials vs annuals, etc. I took notes (seriously). And then she started walking me through the selection. Bates.Has.Everything. They do. Don't ask. Just trust. And a side effect of having everything is fair pricing. They have everything and they have a lot of it so you aren't on the hook to spend a lot due to scarcity. I left the nursery with a bit of an education, plants that mean something to the recipients and continue to adorn yards, money in my pocket for other gifts, and a good feeling from shopping local and supporting a business that's been around for almost 100 years. There are so many cool businesses to discover on Yelp outside of food and drink. Dig in, explore and patronize what makes your metro unique.

I am always a sucker for handmade soap and locally sourced candles, so when I was wandering around…read moreThe Streets of Indian Lake, I could not ignore the mash up of smells coming from the Soap Factory! I had already scooped up what I was after at a nearby store, but what can few dozen sniffs hurt? Everything offered is geared towards self-care of some variety. They have tables and shelves full of handmade items including soaps, candles, salts, shower steam tablets, bath bombs and more. I absolutely love the colors and scents of the soaps, and they also had a few local color variations to celebrate the Vols, Preds and Titans. Was really cool to see! Pricing is not terrible, and is in line with what I would expect from a local spot. Service was wildly friendly and helpful. Was welcomed upon entry, helped on the floor and wished a good day. Overall, love seeing local spots thriving amongst the large chain stores. Cool local spot!
