On the busy street of Seminario, situated right between the metro stop Baquedano and Parque Bustamante is Floreria Baobab. Baobab, named after the Baobab tree, a defining of African bushland is a cute flower shop that offers a variety of different flowers and small gifts. I do consulting at a hotel close by and every time I go there I pass by this flower shop (however plain on the outside, I always look through the window to see a floor filled with different flowers) so last week I decided to go in and get some flowers for our house. The owner was a lovely woman who helped me pick out a great bunch of flowers - you can mix and match. She was super helpful and we chatted for a bit as she put together the bunch and gave me tips on improving my non-existent green thumb. One of the tips was to throw a couple of drops of soda into the vase to keep the blossoms lasting longer. Great experience and customer service - the flowers are still in our kitchen and look great! read more
