5 Reasons Why It's Important to Order from Your Local Flower Shop

We’ve all heard that it’s important to support your local businesses. With a plethora of small businesses in Pennsville, including us at Garden of Eden, it’s almost impossible not to look to locally-owned companies for your needs. Ordering flowers is no different. As the customer, you have multiple options for personalized, unique experiences and convenient ordering, which you might not get at a larger business.

With better service and unique products you might not find anywhere else, here are five reasons why it’s important to order from your local flower shop:

1 Personalized Service and Expert Advice

Local flower shops offer personalized customer service that larger chains can’t match. We make shopping easy, convenient, and unique to your needs so you have the perfect arrangement or gift. Our staff is highly experienced and knowledgeable in helping customers select or create the ideal floral arrangement. Want a bouquet in a different vase? We can do that. Eyeing our spring arrangements but want to make some changes? We've got you covered.

2 Fresh, High-Quality Flowers

Local florists prioritize fresh, high-quality flowers that are often sourced locally or directly from trusted suppliers. We take care of our flowers daily, ensuring they’re always at their peak freshness. Bigger stores might not prioritize flower care or may have flowers sitting for longer periods. Proper storage and hydration are key to preserving freshness. Since there’s no “middleman,” you can trust that the flowers you ordered will arrive fresh and beautiful.

3 Supporting Your Local Community

When you support local businesses, you’re also supporting the community. Money spent at flower shops typically stays in the local economy, supporting jobs, families, and community events. At Garden of Eden, we’re not just here to sell you flowers; we’re here to build a lasting relationship with you. When you walk into our shop, you’re met with friendly faces ready to help you create your dream arrangement. Stay connected with us by following us on Instagram for updates and inspiration!

4 Custom Event Planning Services

Many local florists, like us, offer event coordination in addition to flower arranging, providing a full-service experience for weddings, parties, funerals, and corporate events. Our florists work directly with you to plan and execute the entire floral theme for your event. Eden Events, our sister company, specializes in weddings across the tri-state area. We’re also honored to be awarded Best of The Knot for the 8th year in a row—proof of our commitment to creating memorable and stunning floral designs.

5 Buy Local

Supporting your local flower shop isn’t just about purchasing flowers—it’s about investing in quality, service, and community. At Garden of Eden, we pride ourselves on offering personalized service, fresh flowers, and unique, high-quality arrangements that larger stores simply can’t match. Whether you’re planning a special event or looking to brighten someone’s day, we invite you to experience the difference of shopping locally. Let us help make your floral dreams come true!
