Avanda’s Flower & Plant Shop — Local services in Philadelphia

Ok so I love this place. I'm a man who knows nothing about flowers. I usually just get them for my wife from grocery stores and gas stations while I'm on the go. The woman there educated me about the flowers and proper care including how to properly put them in the vase. I also had no clue about what I wanted, i just wanted nice flowers for my wife. I told her some colors and smells I was looking for and she even told me she didn't want them to look like supermarket flowers which made me smile but feel a little silly at the same time (I thought I was doing something all these years with my supermarket flowers). She also asked what I wanted to spend. She gave me a beautiful arrangement which my wife loved so much. She even told me that they don't look like grocery store flowers which made me laugh. Overall great experience and I will be going...

I had said 50$ maximum for the flowers, so i asked how much their delivery fee was. He said 5$, but that they had a 60$ minimum for delivery. I told him to cancel my order, and called Flowers & Company a few blocks away. They delivered same day, where lovely to deal with, and even emailed me a receipt. Stay...

I've bought plants here 3x over the years and the only reason they're all alive is because of the shop owner. Her prices are reasonable and she is extremely helpful. She deserves a steady stream of customers for her friendly service. She's even invited me to come in just to show her photos of my space and plants to help diagnose any problems. Yesterday, I wanted to buy this supposedly low maintenance plant on her shelf, but she told me to wait until she got some bigger ones (because the current ones were being temperamental lol). She'd rather sell me something of better quality than make a sale at...
