The Tea Plantation Flower & Gift Shop - Lake Sumter Landing

We wandered into The Tea Plantation Flower & Gift Shop the other day while visiting in Lake Sumter Landing.  Cece, at the counter, welomed us graciously.  The shop offers many beautiful gifts and will also handle all of your floral needs.

If you're in the area, stop by and take a look.
