Did you know *this* about your local flower shop?

So, after a huge shipment of flowers came in on Wednesday, it got me thinking...

Did you know that our flower shop gets fresh flowers in almost EVERY day? It's true! And it's hard work. If you're an independent flower shop (like we are), you find yourself doing it all. From designing gorgeous floral bouquets to cleaning buckets, to answering phones to cleaning flowers. It's important that when we get these gorgous flowers in, that they get treated properly. Clean, warm water (that helps hydrate them), clean buckets for display, cleaning the leaves from stems and cutting. So, don't be surprised if you come in and see me walking around with my knife...I'm just a busy bee!

Did you know that during the summertime, a lot of our flowers are locally grown? It's true! We just received some gorgeous dahlias, zinnias and sunflowers. You should come check them out!

Did you know that we are locally owned and operated? It's true. The owners are a lovely couple that I get to work with every day. Their goal for your local flower shop is to carry the best selection of flowers and make them available to you. We all work very hard to make sure our customers know that they matter. You matter. Thank you for your business.

Did you know that we deliver to Bellevue, Kirkland, South Seattle, downtown Seattle, West Seattle and more? It's true! Place an order for delivery to Microsoft, we can do that too! Even North Seattle, some of Lynnwood, Bothell, etc.

Did you know that you can order online? Yep, right here. You can feel good about ordering online 24/7 and supporting a local floral family.

Just a few things you may have never known about your local flower shop. You can also follow us on facebook and twitter!
