About Us, Customer Care & Donations
Our Studio
Since our launch in 1983, our work has been guided by two enduring principles: custom fresh flower design and personal customer relationships. These simple ideas have sustained our studio for more than four decades—including through periods of significant challenge and change.
We remain a small, family-run flower shop committed to professional floral design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the people we serve.
Customer Care
We believe the best service begins with direct, personal communication.

Community Giving & Donation Focus
We receive many donation requests. In order to give meaningfully and responsibly, we focus our support on one specific area..
Local Mental Health Support
Mental health advocacy is deeply personal to our family. In 2019, after a long and courageous struggle, we lost our high-school-aged daughter to suicide. This experience permanently shaped our understanding of how urgent and under-resourced mental health care remains—particularly for young people. Suicide is among the leading causes of death for high school and college-aged individuals. We prioritize supporting local organizations working to expand access, education, and compassionate care for Mental health.
While we wish we could support every cause, this focus allows us to give with intention, clarity, and impact.
Thank you for the work you do to strengthen our community—and for understanding our approach to giving.
