What is the First Flower of Spring?

The hellebores which bloom even if there is a snow cover.

We are so excited here at Marguerite Gardens to see the signs that spring will arrive in a few months! Ammie Brod designed this exquisite cluster of lilacs, deep pink hellebores, brunia, lysimachia and sumac! The brown vase is perfect for a bedside table or the bathroom, come see the other colors and designs!

Almost forgot to mention the new line we received this week, Further, an up-cycling company. This company uses recycled glycerin from cooking oils and the scent is of olive, bergamot and exotic grasses; trust us, you will love it!

Succulent Planters

Same planter, different pictures. Photos by Kaitlyn McQuaid, one of our florists!

We have the plants, the planters, and the soil, and you don't have to do any of the dirty work because we do it for you! You just get to do the fun part: picking out your favorite plants. The pictured succulent arrangement was a delivery and was under fifty dollars. So even if you don't want to send flowers, remember that Marguerite Gardens also sends one-of-a-kind planters.

a verrry late valentines!

Sorry for the late Valentines update. Here are some of my very favorite shots from working that day. If only every day were Valentines Day...

more valentines experimentation...

I've been trying to make different arrangements lately while I'm in the shop. It is far too easy to get stuck making the same thing over and over. So, here we have my latest creation. We have a lot of pink and red flowers right now in preparation for oh you know, no particular reason, so naturally I was drawn to them. Especially this super pale pink ranunculus. Aren't they the prettiest?

alternative valentines bouquets

Valentines Day is quickly approaching and so naturally, being florists, we are all experimenting with different arrangements we can make for customers on the big day. Nothing against the classic red rose bouquet, because those really are quite lovely. It's just fun to do something a little differently, right? That said, here are a few arrangements we've done this week in preparation. Perhaps we'll get a chance to make some more on Valentines Day!
