“Where Passion Grows.“
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Woodley’s, now known as B.B. Barnes, stands out not just as a gardening center but as a hub for plant education and quality products.

As the day progresses, Woodley’s sees a steady stream of customers such as Amanda and Eden, who visit for quality time and new plants, and Tim McLee, a loyal patron who seeks out the latest spring varieties.
