An excellent post from my floral pals at Simply Flowers Nanaimo.
Share with your family and friends so they do not get fooled by these online folks pretending to be florists!

Let’s talk Order Gatherers.
An order gatherer in the floral biz, is a company that takes floral orders, promise you the world, and send it to an independent florist to be filled. You’d think this sounds ideal, but we will tell you why it’s not.
First off, they take a large chunk of your hard earned dollars, as a service fee. Second off, they don’t know what the local florist carries as far as product and containers, or what their price points will be. Thirdly, your money supports a large corporation instead of a small local business.
So what to do instead? When googling a local florist, look for both reviews, and a local address. If you aren’t confident in that, I’m sure your local florist would be more than happy to help you find someone of repute in the location you wish to send flowers.
This is good for both you and the sending business, and will make sure you get what you want sent out!
Keep money in local economies!
If you have any questions, throw them in the comments!

On November 11, I zigged when I should have zagged.
As a result I ended up with a broken ankle.
But these HEROES came to my rescue.

My hubby Don is the ultimate caretaker and continues to be the man of my dreams!

Alison our incredible freelance designer was and continues to be there for anything our little business needs.

Al our beloved driver never once hesitated to be there at anytime for anything. And still is!!

I am definitely on the mend, feeling great and haven’t skipped a beat!! Adaptation and determination is the name of this game.

Finally to the team in emergency at the Nanaimo Hospital. Incredibly kind and gentle and very professional treating this old lady with her first broken bone!
Over 200 wreaths designed and delivered so far and so many exciting designs in the horizon.

Happy Saturday!

We are receiving a lot of messages from a lot folks who are sending photos of wreaths they see on Pinterest and TEMU requesting that they be replicated for $35 or less.

Unfortunately we are not able to assist as ours are all handmade fresh locally. And each wreath we design is unique and not built on an assembly line.

My recommendation would be that if you see one online via TEMU or Pinterest you might want to consider that purchase. They are manufactured out of country and shipped direct to you. We unfortunately cannot meet or beat their prices.

Thank you for your understanding.

So many lovely wreaths being delivered to their new homes.
And this Christmas season is shaping up to be so exciting .
Most popular floral gifts so far:
1. Flower subscriptions- the gift that arrives every month- our clients love these
2. Centrepieces- this year we have seen an increase in our corporate clients purchasing centrepieces for their customers and for their staff.
3. Plant and fresh flowers basket. Can’t decide between plants or fresh flowers? Have both!
