Martha's Gardens did such a great job with the flowers for our wedding and was amazing to work with! Tara and her team were a dream to work with in bringing our perfect wedding to life. read more

Addendum to Initial review: my review went from an initial 1 star to four. The florist returned our call today and delivered an arrangement that was beautiful and as it should be, with floral foam. I suspect the initial issue of no foam or support was an oversight, perhaps by an new employee? Regardless, the fact that Martha's called and fixed the issue is honorable. . 1st review: We received this bereavement floral arrangement from a friend through Martha's. It was delivered to us direct from the florist. The arrangement essentially fell apart when we lifted it out of the delivery box. The stems were cut short and put in a low profile ceramic container with nothing to support them. No floral foam or mesh to keep them in place or in the container. These photos were taken less than 2 days after delivery and after removing the worst/wilted flowers. It actually made me more sad that my friends paid for this, so I would NEVER want to mention it to them. So that's the rub. You buy flowers for someone else sight unseen, and the recipient in most cases would never share if the flowers weren't as the buyer intended. read more

Major disappointment. For our wedding flowers it's started with never meeting with any actual florist. Being told repeatedly we'd meet with a florist but only meeting the receptionist who in turn said she'd relay our wishes. When we said we were just going to find someone else then all of a sudden the florists came out of the woodwork and ensured they'd be present on the day for set up. On our winter wedding day, none of the florists on site, and it literally looked like a evergreen mulch pile on the tables and none of the reception candles were present. I was so disappointed with what was promised vs what we received. read more

I gotta hand it to Martha--my spouse-to-be and I walked into the shop on a Friday with what might be considered a fairly unreasonable request: could she prepare a boutonniere and a bridal bouquet for our wedding on, uh, the following Monday? Either this woman was *delighted* to fulfill this last-minute request and leave the flowers in the care of a neighbor on a day when she normally would not be open, or she's just a damn good actor. We'd just met her moments before, and when she heard we were getting married she grabbed our hands and squealed for joy. I *loved* my bouquet--it was a gorgeous bunch of pink peonies, small white blossoms, and roses the color of the silk that bound the stems. I actually dried and kept them, because they are that special to me. Thanks Martha, you're a peach among women! read more

Martha and her team created floral arrangements that truly were works of art-first for my mother's funeral and then two years later for my father's funeral. I mean extraordinary. EVERYONE, literally everyone (even my 95-year-old uncle-"Those sure are pretty flowers. I've never seen flowers like those before."), commented about how much they appreciated the flowers. Somehow, on both occasions, with disjointed and garbled input from me, they created arrangements consistent with the unique environment my family hoped to create for each parent. I love this shop and the artists who create there... read more

This seems like a place you discover, and it's a great way to begin the day. I usually get my flowers from Trader Joe's for $6, and am totally satisfied. I told Martha that I like that type. She told me she likes to not be like the store, but can put anything together. I've actually never seen such an airy shop. Talk about truth in advertising. I would definitely seek out special occasion arrangements from here. I ended up buying the coolest squared tapered candles for Easter in pink and hot pink. I could see these for all the holidays. There's a really cool pearl type pen for sale that I have my eye on too. read more

I was really happy with everything until my wedding day when I got the actual flowers. I ordered a bridal bouquet and 4 bridesmaid bouquets. Everyone I talked to was really nice, and communication was timely. To start from the beginning, I met with Martha to plan what I wanted, and she took detailed notes and I sent her photos with what I wanted. The main thing I wanted was succulents in my bouquet, and the bridesmaids would have roses. A week before the wedding Martha confirmed with me what I wanted - succulents in my bouquet and roses for the bridesmaids. When I got my flowers there were no succulents, and the bridesmaids bouquets were not roses. The flowers looked nice, but it wasn't what I wanted or what I expected. I don't know what went wrong, but I would recommend a different place if you want to get what you ask for. To be fair, I didn't give her a chance to fix it because I got my flowers right before we started photos, so I didn't have time to do anything about it. And they looked nice - so it wasn't a disaster - it just wasn't what I expected. read more

Since I was in the neighborhood, I stopped in on a recent sunny afternoon just to see what was in there. I found a delightfully decorated shop and a calm and welcoming atmosphere. All sorts of beautiful things on display and for sale. And to top it all off, Martha came out of the back with a warm smile and a friendly "hello". She's the owner and the floral designer and seems very nice. There is a small selection of locally handmade jewelry, and I tried on a necklace that I really liked and learned that it was made by her sister, Edith Ann, who lives right in the neighborhood. A great place to browse at "lovely" things and smell/see fresh flowers and visit with Martha. read more

Martha's Gardens did a beautiful job on a bouquet I ordered for my grandmother's 95th birthday. I gave them discretion over picking the best seasonal fliers and they did not disappoint. My family has been raving about how gorgeous it was, and it was a perfect gift for my grandma. read more

When Martha and I had met I was working for her on a home project. When she told me she owned a floral shop this was a no brainer she would do our wedding floral. Martha and I met and we went over my vision. With many Pinterest photos of course. When my bouquets were delivered to my hotel suite I was blown away! I almost started crying over the beauty of them. Also my vision was given to me by the masterminds at the floral shop. Martha and her team went above and beyond to add to our perfect day with all of the attendants flowers, centerpieces and all of the candles. It was truly perfect! I can't say how many times our guests asked who we went through for floral and how stunning it all was. Martha will have our business for many events to come as this shop is full of artists! Everyone is always in a great mood and the vibe inside the shop is electrifying. Thank you so much Martha and team!!!!! read more

Bride's Perspective: Martha did a beautiful job on my wedding flowers! She was a joy to work with and was always so warm and friendly through the entire process. I showed her floral inspirations from Pinterest and provided swatches from the dresses and suits. Martha created gorgeous bouquets and arrangements using the wedding color palate. She also has a variety of vases and candle holders to use for your wedding. Lastly, Martha made sure to work within my budget and found creative ways so that I could still have everything for my dream wedding. read more

If I could give Martha 10 stars I would. She did my wedding this past November and it was stunning. Her floral arrangements, the candles and "wands" for my six nieces were spectacular! She got me, I wanted elegant and lovely and it really was. People from the wedding have called and emailed me. I have the wreath she made for above the fireplace at the Town & Country Club in my living room! Her little touches and sweet as sugar personality are the cherries on the top! She and her staff are amazing and will do you their very best for you! Thank you so much! read more

Where to begin with Martha's Gardens. Martha makes the experience of giving and receiving flowers a pure joy. Her enthusiasm and heart are the essences of flower giving. She has done all our family's weddings, funerals, and celebrations. I can always tell a 'Martha' arrangement, there is something dazzling and creative, unexpected and yet perfect in each one. She has a style all her own, but she listens to what you want and somehow 'reads' your hopes for the final product. I also love that she is a small shop, a female owner that has not been swallowed up by larger corporate-think. Supporting a family for many years and growing from behind the house garage business to a thriving local landmark, Martha is an inspiration. Don't hesitate to visit for a single candle or your life's next big event. read more

Martha's Gardens was not my first choice for my wedding, but the florist we had chosen just retired. We relied on the suggestion of the venue. We decided to go with Martha since she wasn't a typical storefront for everyday flowers. She seemed to specialize in events. When we made an appointment to meet with her, we got a quick greeting and then she excused herself and sent us to meet with her assistant Alicia. Alicia gave stock-robotic answers like she had practiced for a call center. She never really heard what we wanted. She did take notes and then we were on our way out. When we got the estimate, it seemed quite outrageous and none of the details in it were correct. We were having a winter wedding and just wanted a lot of pine branches and hardly any flowers - this is MN, pine is not in short supply. After trying to contact martha on multiple occassions (and only getting her assistant asking if we'd sent the downpayment), we finally got through to her when we said we were thinking of going elsewhere. That got her at least on the phone where I had to run through what we wanted AGAIN. She sent another quote but none of the original, wrong details had changed. So as a last resort and coming up on the wedding date we got my parents involved. She said she could meet with us in person. I thought that was it and everything would be resolved. She created an example for us in the store that was pretty spot on. Then the day of the wedding, everything was wrong, everything was skimpy and some stuff she said was going to be there just wasn't. She also said she'd be the one to set up in person to ensure everything was correct. She was not there, only the assistant and some other help. Everything looked like an incorrect, poor-man's version of what we had decided on in the 2nd meeting. I would never recommend Martha's Gardens. If I could go back and choose a different florist, I ABSOLUTELY would. She may have a good eye for creativity, but her execution, service, business acumen, choice in assistant is completely lacking. Don't Use Her! read more

After receiving two bouquets from Martha's Gardens, I had check out the shop to see what it was all about. I love flowers and had never received such creative a and lovely designs before. What a gem of a place. The store carries lots of whimsy and eclectic items for the home and to wear. If you need something original for yourself or for a gift, you must look here. While I was there, Martha came out to say, "hello" and invited me to her work area and showed me what she was working on for a wedding a few days later. She was so excited about what she was doing and was very impressed. She clearly is very passionate about her work does what she loves This is my go to shop now for all my floral and fun gift needs. read more

Martha was fabulous to work with! She and her team did a beautiful job on the flowers for my wedding! Martha is very sweet and personable when you meet with her. I didn't really know what I wanted, but brought in pictures and swatches for inspiration. Martha took it from there! The bouquets were gorgeous, and looked perfect with all the dresses. The centerpieces were breathtaking! We still get compliments on how beautiful they were. When my husband and I went up to the reception space and saw it for the first time, I was speechless. The room was exactly like I had pictured it, and that was largely in part to Martha and her team! read more
