COVID-19 effects on deliveries
Current Delivery information: Deliveries will be contactless-we will call recipient to arrange a delivery location that works for them. Upon delivering we will ring the bell, place flowers as arranged or by the front door and then leave. We are adhering to the CDC guidelines for cleaning and sanitation in store and on deliveries. Thank you and stay safe.
We are doing deliveries and offering in store pick up for anything you might want in floral and plant arrangements. We will be shortening our hours of operation to 12-3:30 Tuesday-Thursday, Friday and Saturday, will be dependant on how busy we are making orders. We will also be offering same day delivery on floral arrangements ordered by 1 pm weekdays and 12 noon on Saturday for in town deliveries.
