This is the first time I ordered from this business, and I will definitely order from them again. The beautiful poinsettias they brought are brightening my holiday season.

First, this store is one of the most beautiful flower shops one can walk into. They feature a tastefully curated selection of not just flowers but also seasonal branches and fresh fruit for lovely decorations. And their bouquets are perfectly packaged for presents. So, why am I giving them two stars? First the flowers are outrageously expensive. Yes. the quality is excellent but $7 for a twig? C'mon. Second, for some reason they always seem to make me feel that I'm good enough for their flowers. They never say anything rude, mind you. But there's something in the air inside "

I live on the East Coast and wanted to send flowers to someone special in Berkeley. The recipient who received the arrangement sent me a picture with the following message: "gasp the birthday weekend is off to a GORGEOUSLY festive start with the delivery of these incredible flowers!!! Truly the most special arrangement I've ever received- lilacs, frilly-edged roses, pink dogwood and cherry blossom branches. And I love the swooping energy of it! Thank you so very much!" I can't upload the image because I do not wish to give google or Facebook access to my photos and personal

I cannot recommend Janet's work more highly for weddings. She took what felt like somewhat open-ended direction from me and created arrangements and bouquets that far exceeded my expectations and matched the tone I was aiming for. Lush, soft, fresh, Springy. When I walked into the reception room after all the flowers had been set on the dining tables, I had to catch my breath! So beautiful.
Janet took time to do an in-person consult (free of charge) and an additional meeting to go over details with her and Ellen (who's also great to work with). I'd throw another wedding just to
