With great sadness, we are discontinuing most floral services effective Saturday June 11, 2011, in order to focus on our garden center which will remain open March 15 through December 25 each year as we have since 1947.

     Recent years have been difficult for all small businesses and the floral industry has been especially hard-hit.  Traditional stand-alone shops incur increased competition both at holidays and day-to-day from supermarkets, box stores, convenient stores and the internet.  The challenge of offering highest-quality fresh flowers, creative designs by trained personnel, special services at low margins, nationwide clearinghouse access and daily local deliveries is simply becoming too much for many local florists.  

     Gilson Gardens will remain committed to local communities and the gardening public through our full-service independent garden center, gift shop and greenhouse...and will continue to provide seasonal favorites such as Easter Lilies, foliage plants, dish gardens, silk & dried arrangements, poinsettias, wreath, pine roping and Christmas Trees!

     Thanks for your continued support and patronage!
