The prices are also well below what the surrounding florists are charging. Each time I talked to a different person, a lady the first time & a man 4 years later & both were very nice, helpful & patient.

Hard to believe this place hasn't been rated before now?! ....it's a hidden gem to those needing flowers.

(Complete with instructions on how to care for your lovely new addition.) They also sell air plants from small to large that you can place wherever you wish with minimal fuss. And there is so much inspiration as you look around the shop, it's almost impossible to leave empty handed! I don't have any experience with the event type floral arrangements, but I can only imagine they are phenomenal!

The florist was the most unhelpful person I've dealt with in a flower store before. The cheapest of anything I could find was $40 and when I was trying to ask her if there were anything smaller or cheaper to bring to the visitation (in a vase to set on a table) and she just gave me the dumbest look like she had no idea what I was talking about and I'm crazy. I showed her the flowers I was looking at as an example (just wanting smaller/ cheaper) and all she said was "those are cemetery flowers." I realized this, hence why I was asking for anything else. She made me so uncomfortable and felt stupid for asking. There's no grocery store with a flower department around so I ended up having to go to the funeral empty handed.

Was looking for a bouquet or…read morepreferably a live plant with flowers to be delivered today or tomorrow to my pastor's wife/good friend for her birthday which is in just a couple days. 1. Note that when they answer it doesn't come up "Ideal Flowers." I asked about this change and she said they have had this same phone number since the 70's. No explanation as to why it is called something different on Yelp, so I gave her a heads-up on that. So I'll let her handle it (I'm thinking she was the owner but she didn't indicate). 2. Nothing available. "All our flowers this weekend are spoken for." She did, however, offer to deliver in a few days, which I did decline in favor of a different mode. 3. Points at least for answering the phone promptly on a weekend that is apparently extremely busy, no doubt unusually busy or out of flowers more quickly as Memorial Day weekend just passed a few days back. Will bookmark and keep on record as potential sale for the future, as the lady was nice, prompt, and informative.

I told him he should have just left and gone someplace else. He showed her pictures of his dates dress and she started picking it apart telling him what all was wrong with the dress and how it was a difficult color to match. He requested a certain flower that would have matched well, but she said these are hard flowers to grow and they don't carry them, besides the fact that those wouldn't match. Who cares?! It's what the girl wanted. Anyhow, the woman just told him she'd put something together that'd be good enough. Had I known this the day he went by I would've cancelled the order and had him go somewhere else. Prom is tonight. We shall see how her flowers look for further review. Okay.....he got the flowers and they're gorgeous. Thank God! He said a different lady was there that helped him and he said she took time to give him some advice and talked to him. So, I'm changing my rating from one star to four. People do not realize how important customer service is. People who are rude to they're customers should keep up the same standards that they require when they are the customer.

What I do know, they answer the phone and are very friendly in the interactions they have with me over the phone. They are attentive to listening to what my requests are and ask questions that are perfect for completing my purchase. They are easy to work with giving you a range of prices to work from, or just request an arrangement and a price and they will find something that fits into your budget. They have always been able to deliver on the requested day, even on short notice (same day) and typically earlier then requested. Arrangements arrive fresh and well laid out. Couldn't ask for better service or quality. Very pleased with my interactions with these guys.

(especially when you're buying 10 bags or so!) I gave it 3 stars because the prices are good, and they have a lot of options. Minus one because there is not as much here as other places have, and minus one because there seems to be less people available to help you. To get the best service and advice you want to go to Pack's nursery or one of the other local shops, but to get the best prices come to Wally World. Besides the mulch, I also buy bags of soil, compost and humus here because they are dirt cheap (get it!) and I can't resist picking up a flower or two or ten as well.
