Flowers for Powhatan, VA

The heart of Powhatan is still its courthouse green — a cluster of early-19th-century public buildings around the 1849 courthouse on US-60, the kind of Virginia county seat that never became a town in the incorporated sense. What has changed is everything around it. Push a few miles east on the Anderson Highway toward Midlothian and the farmland gives way to subdivisions; the horse farms and timber tracts of the western county are steadily meeting Richmond's outward creep. That split personality defines delivery here: tight, quick runs through the newer neighborhoods off Route 60 and Route 711, then long legs out to a farmhouse or a river property near the James on the county's rural edge. There is no hospital in Powhatan, so get-well orders point toward the Richmond-side campuses instead.
