While in this city to attend a funeral I had the need of a florist. I could have just gotten on line and ordered but since I am one for using local businesses I stopped at a gas station and ask for a recommendation. They recommended Bowen's Florist. The clerk told me that they had just relocated and called the store to ask for the new address. She gave me directions on how to get there even. When I walked into this small flower shop I was greeted by a young lady and ask how she could help me. I explained what I was in need of and that I was looking for something not too expensive but not especially cheap either. She was quite helpful in guiding me by asking a price range, if the funeral was for a friend, a loved one or a business acquaintance and if I had any color or flower preferences. She helped me to make a lovely selection of roses, daisy's and something purple which I cannot seem to remember the name of in a sympathy basket. She gave me a total of under $60 which was right where I wanted to be and said that she would have it delivered to the funeral home for the visitation which was that night. I can only say that when I arrived at the funeral home for my grandmother's visitation I was quite pleased. My grandmother would have been pleased as well. It was her favorite colors, her favorite flowers and it made me proud. I am happy that the gas station clerk referred this florist. I too would refer you to this florist.
