Garvey’s Gardens, a local family-owned flower shop, is gearing up for its busiest season of the year. As Valentine’s Day approaches, the floral shop is experiencing a surge in sales, with customers eager to express their love through fresh, beautiful blooms.
Valentine’s Day: The Busy Season for Garvey’s Gardens
Sydney Garvey, the owner of Garvey’s Gardens, says that Valentine’s Day is by far the busiest holiday for her shop, closely followed by Mother’s Day. For the next couple of months, it’s all hands on deck as the shop prepares for a steady stream of orders.
“Valentine’s Day is our peak season, and we always try to make it extra special for our customers,” Garvey explained. The shop’s staff is working around the clock to meet the demand for flowers, which typically spikes as couples search for the perfect bouquet to send to their loved ones.
Fresh, Locally Grown Flowers Straight from the Farm
One of the things that sets Garvey’s Gardens apart is the shop’s commitment to locally sourced flowers. The majority of the flowers are grown right on Garvey’s own Palisade farm, while others are sourced from Certified American Grown farms. This certification ensures that the flowers are fresher, have fewer pesticides, and have a smaller carbon footprint, thanks to their local origin.
Among the most popular flowers at Garvey’s Gardens are their indoor tulips. Garvey says these tulips are a customer favorite, with special varieties that feature extra fringe and even some that are scented. The tulips are picked fresh every morning and brought directly into the shop, ensuring customers always receive the best quality flowers.
Customizable Bouquets for Every Occasion
At Garvey’s Gardens, customers have the unique option to create their own personalized bouquets. By simply choosing a vase and a selection of flowers, customers can watch the magic happen as the staff assembles a bouquet that’s tailored to their needs.
Garvey explains that there’s something truly special about seeing the pride and joy on a customer’s face when they create a bouquet for someone they care about. “It’s always a joy to see how happy people are when they pick out flowers for a loved one,” she said.
Valentine’s Day Orders Now Being Accepted
Garvey’s Gardens is now accepting both in-person and online orders for Valentine’s Day. For those who might be rushing to get their orders in at the last minute, the shop will be open for extended hours on the holiday.
