I need to go by this nursery again soon now that it is spring, but we stopped by this nursery twice last year and loved both our visits.

That's how I spotted them the first time! After my first visit, I brought my friends to Venture the next time I visited Whidbey and they loved it too.

After…read morebeing badly hornswoggled with Blossom Flower Delivery's Google ads that they were #1 Florist in Langley, WA, and a Top Florist for 30 years -- the explicitly promised delivery did NOT happen, and reaching customer service was a long and horrible story in itself (oh, why hadn't I come to BBB or googled reviews first!)... ... and afterwards, almost succumbing to yet another [also sponsored!] ad for Ava's Flowers being a local Langley shop (vs. Newark, Delaware, as noted in bold at the very bottom of their webpage), I then trusted blessed Yelp to help identify Langley's actual brick and mortar stores.... A Special Touch Flowers and Gifts was ranked #2 of 28, from the entire geographical region. An appropriate ranking, indeed, despite the number of reviews as only 1? (But they're ranked 4.3 stars from 12 reviews on google.) Calling too early at PDT, and hours apart, with my EST, I followed their recorded instructions to order online. While much seemed to be unwanted custom -- I later learned they stopped affiliating with either Teleflora or FTD -- I selected a pictured dish garden, chose which size, filled in what I wanted on the card, and in the Special Instructions area, explained my situation and the sad terminal diagnosis, sharing I MUST have confirmation of same day delivery availability, and to please email or call. With beloved's difficulties in either speaking and/or hearing, the living (loved) plants were my best far-away way of trying to reach out. Then, the call came, first thing, at 9 am PDT time. Wow! A real live, caring person. A real store. We discussed what would be different from what was pictured. And I received, as promised, email confirmation of delivery, when the timely delivery actually occurred. I'm confused by the A+ rating, when it says they're not BBB accredited. But I wanted to be sure to leave word at BBB (and Google and Yelp!) that you can buy from A Special Touch Flowers and Gifts with confidence! They are Special!!!

She takes peanuts out of your hands which Marie hands out to visitors. We purchased candles and other goodies which we really loved. The prices for the treats, into which Marie puts her heart, are very reasonable. Trust me, the treats in Hawaii cost way more, and they are made with factory machines. We even bought a large cookie from a batch that Marie baked that morning. The cookie was really good. We ate the cookie, fudge, and caramels before we reached Deception Pass Bridge (we are visitors from Hawaii). Mahalo so much Marie!!!

And there is a super cute shop with lots of local things for sale. Fudge, flowers, soaps, cards, all sorts of gift things. Definitely worth a visit!

We were a little taken back with the disengaged, uninviting, and/or arrogant demeanor these entrepreneurs exhibited on more than five occasions beginning with this store.

Though you can certainly order by phone, I do not have access to one during the work day and was able to complete everything via email - including describing the look I wanted, how much I wanted to spend, and the delivery coordination. Paying online was super simple (I even used Apple Pay). Bottom-line: they did great work and brought a smile via their wonderful floral creation! I highly recommend them.

Most of all, they are knowledgeable and helpful! We had a leak in our pond and about a thousand questions. They know their stuff!
