| - Having been so frustrated, unable to find a bouquet of flowers for my bestie's graduation (tis the season), I angrily pulled into the parking lot of English Garden Florist. My heart dropped once again when I looked at my clock that said 1:57 PM and when I looked at the store closing time (2:00 PM) on that bright Sunday afternoon. I knew they probably wouldn't be too happy to see me walking right before closing time but I jumped the gun and ran in frantic.
Much to my surprise, the gentleman behind the counter greeted me with a smile and assured that he didn't mind me coming in at that time. I asked him if they had prepared flower bouquets that I can just grab, pay and run with. They did not and continued to explain that they make their bouquets on the spot. Awesome. My bestie loves tulips (as do I) and inquired to take a look at their selection. They had tulips in white, pink and yellow. As far as the design, I was lost as a deer in the headlights. I decided to trust this guy and asked him to make something small and dainty, but beautiful and with a statement.
About 10 minutes later, the guy brings out my bouquet. It was just what I needed! White tulips with small purple flower accents and pretty lush green leaves! This ran around $15, which I thought was a little expensive (but I have no idea how much flowers are or what they're normally worth - for all I know, this could have been a fantastic price).
All in all, I was very satisfied with their service and if I ever need another flower bouquet on the fly, I'll definitely be back!
