Beautiful flowers! I especially loved that I was emailed a photo of the arrangement before it was delivered. That was a first for me! Its nice to see for yourself what your loved one will be receiving, and I was more than impressed with the arrangement that was created for my order.

Betsy and her team exceeded my expectations with all of the floral arrangements and fabric swag for my wedding. Everything was absolutely stunning and set at a very reasonable price. Betsy is a great artist, truly listened to my input and went above and beyond to make my flower arrangements more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! During my wedding, I was in awe the entire time and got emotional when I saw my bouquet and ceremony/reception set up. It was a dream come true. Do yourself a favor and hire The Plant Shoppe Florist for any of your floral needs. They will not disappoint. Thank you Betsy and your team!

I ordered a “wobbly gator” for my mom’s birthday. The flowers were delivered on time and looked even better than the sample photo. The florist included a handwritten card with my custom message. My mom loved it! Will definitely order flowers from here again.

We got married last month and we were blessed with a fairy tale wedding. Everything from the venue to the weather was perfect. But more importantly, we could have not done this without the relentless help, love, and dedication we received from the team of people who helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives.Our wedding ceremony took place under the big oak tree at the Historic Thomas Center in Gainesville, FL. Betsy Gardner at the Plant Shoppe Florist customized our flowers as requested matching our wedding colors of navy blue and gold to beautiful hydrangeas, gardenias, delphiniums, and tulips. Our bouquets were gorgeous! Betsy and her team also hung lanterns from the oak tree and suggested hanging some of our reception bottles with lights in them from the branches, which added significantly to the overall romance of the decor. She made gorgeous gold leaf garlands for our cat stroller (our cats were the ring-bearers!) and for the tables at the reception. Betsy and her team came to the venue early and they not only set up the lanterns, bottles, and flowers, but they also helped our wedding planner decorate the tables at the reception. They went above and beyond and were just great and fairly priced. We highly recommend Betsy and her team at the Plant Shoppe Florist for weddings, special events, and all other flower needs.

So thankful I ordered from this local company. They were kind, professional and the flowers were absolutely stunning. They even sent me a photo of what they looked like! This was perfect bc I had them sent to someone else so I wouldn’t have seen them in person anyway. I will definitely order from them again. I also ordered same day and they delivered in a timely fashion ❤️❤️❤️

Theres just something about fresh flowers that cheers me up! Located on nw 8th ave, 1.5 blocks east of GPD, is a hidden gem. Small and they have a lovely selection of flowers, cards, plants ect... This shop has been in Gainesville for 12 + years. Go in and say hi to the ladies. Buy and support local businesses.

Unbelievably reasonably priced. She is creative, attentive, thorough and really goes the extra mile. You can tell she loves what she gets to do, and I would recommend her especially to a bride that isnt 100% confident and/or picky about what she wants. I knew I wanted seasonal flowers in specific colors, and she delivered! She even made a flower wreath for our flower girl :)

The Plant Shoppe provided the spray for the top of the casket for my mother’s funeral. Her favorite color was red and they did an absolutely fabulous job. The effect was stunning! I appreciate their expertise for every event in which we have used their services. Really a lovely tribute for our dear mother.

I had a very positive long-distance purchasing experience. My email was answered with some starting suggestions, and I followed up with a phone call where the florist asked questions and listened to what I wanted. The end result was a lovely plant basket in a Christmas theme, that was just what I had in mind.

Betsy did an incredible job on our wedding flowers! We had a lot of hiccups and plan changes but she handled them all amazingly. She is reasonably priced, easy to get a hold of, and super friendly! She even saved my Pinterest board so she could recreate bouquets that were close to the things I found online. Highly recommend

One of the last florists left that delivers quality and beauty. I married in St. Augustine at The Lightner. A woman made her way over to my husband and I after the ceremony. She told me that living in St. Augustine, she had seen many weddings over the years but my flowers were the most beautiful she had seen in a very, very long time. She was right they really were beautiful.

I love this place so much. I always have fresh flowers in my house and I recently moved to Gainesville. My boyfriend went to the shop and he only knows my favorite color and he picked up a bouquet for me. When he came home I was SHOCKED. He legit only told them blue flowers and he came home with this gorgeous bouquet of flowers that had like multiple layers and they were all opened and beautiful. It’s been 3 days now and they still look as beautiful they day I got them. Also, they were so well priced???? The flowers in this arraignment are typically expensive to buy in bulk (lilies, roses, sunflowers) but these were such a good price. I go back now every two weeks to get my fresh flowers. So creative and good priced and fresh. 100% recommend.

I highly recommend using The Plant Shoppe for all occasions, especially for wedding flowers! Betsy was a dream to work with. Finding a good florist for our wedding was definitely the hardest vendor for us to find. We emailed and called so many people and had such a nightmare trying to find somebody. We we on a budget, and needed our florist to help us figure out what would look good keeping that budget in mind. We had one florist tell us that she couldnt help us because we we werent able to spend several thousand on flowers...WHAT?! Anyway, Betsy saved the day for us and from the first call we knew we had finally found the right person for the job. She was very quick and responsive to emails, was so friendly and easy to talk to (unlike a lot of florist we spoke with), and she completely understood our idea for the wedding and went with it without us having to draw out every detail for her. We gave her a color scheme and our vision and trusted her as a professional from there to put the rest in motion, and let me tell you what...she was 100% dead on and everything came out perfect! We got so many compliments on the flowers, from the bridal/ bridesmaid bouquets to the rose petals scattered in the aisle to our centerpieces (which were each individually designed). She made our fairy tale wedding really come to life, and we are so thankful we found her! If you are looking for a florist, you will not go wrong with Betsy at The Plant Shoppe, I promise you that!Thanks again Betsy for everything you did to make our wedding a dream come true for us. Well be seeing you :)Kate & Bran

As the owner & lead planner of MasterPiece Weddings, we have the joy of working with The Plant Shoppe Florist on a regular basis. My brides are always happy with the beautiful bouquets and arrangements they create. They are super organized and easy to work with as well, from a planners perspective. Ive always felt that flowers are the visual romance of weddings and The Plant Shoppes flowers deliver in abundance every time. I love recommending them to my couples!

Betsy, The Plant Shoppe is a TRUE GEM. From just a few phone conversations and an inspiration board on Pinterest, you were able to create the most breathtaking flowers I have ever laid my eyes on. I could not have imagined more beautiful bouquets and centerpieces. I feel like you had known me for years and were a part of my brain when I saw those flowers, because they were so spot on what I wanted. I cant thank you and your team enough for making my big day THAT much more beautiful. I cannot wait to share photos with you!

I was hesitant at first to use the Plant Shoppe Florist because I had read a few negative reviews on Google however I am so happy that I went to them for my wedding. Betsy and her staff created all of the flower arrangements at my wedding, I am beyond thrilled with their work. My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous, my husband and his groomsmen boutineers were fantastic, my bridesmaids bouquets were stunning, I cannot give the Plant Shoppe Florist enough praise. The flowers were all beautiful, the staff was great, and the prices were even more amazing, I truly recommend them for anyone needing any floral arrangements. Thank you Betsy!! :)

I called and ordered a $65 Spring Basket, referenced the arrangement on their website. The arrangement that was delivered looked like it was haphazardly thrown together with several bunches of flowers and contained lots of filler. 85% of the flowers were fully opened and at the end of their shelf life. Called. They Offered a $10 delivery fee credit on my next order.

After a bad experience with a chain florist in Gainesville, I made sure to use a local one this time (ordering from out of country). The Plant Shoppe really went above and beyond and delivered the most beautiful arrangement i could have asked for. They blew my expectations out of the water and have all my future business, and i normally dont leave reviews!!

Living several hours away I ordered some flowers online. Turns out I was given the wrong room number at Shands. Florist was very patient while I tried to straighten out the issue. The Florist found the room number first and then found out flowers were not permitted in the room. A recommendation was made and it was delivered. Very patient and professional. Very satisfied customer here.

I ended up ordering flowers for my friends birthday the day of... . Id been trying to verify her address, and she had her phone off. I ordered online, and well after 2 pm. Betsy emailed me right back to see when I wanted the adorable arrangement delivered (offering me a choice of container color), and to ask if I wanted to include a gift card (I missed the box). My friend phoned me within the hour to tell me theyd been delivered. Both our days were made!

Betsy did the flowers for our March wedding at the Sweetwater Branch Inn and I am so amazed at how well she captured our theme. We asked for a fantasy-esque theme, one to make you think of dragons and fairies and magic and she delivered!!! My bouquet was a gorgeous cascade bouquet with violets, lavenders and pinks, and even had crystals woven in. She was amazingly creative in coming up with ideas for each table and executed those ideas perfectly. I received compliments on our wedding decor all night!!! Our decor included moss, wooden slabs, beautiful obviously fresh and high quality flowers, and even mushrooms! She brought a bit of magic to the Sweetwater inn for our wedding night and helped make it a fairytale come true while staying within our moderate budget. I HIGHLY recommend her for all your floral needs. Shes creative, down to earth, easy to work with, and easy to contact via email or phone. She was on time and professional for our wedding and the flowers were just PERFECT. Zero complaints from this happy couple!
