The shop was already closed for the day but an emergency number was listed which I called and left a message. To my surprise, I actually received a call back from a very kind lady who took my information and spoke to me about what I wanted. She asked me to call the shop the next morning which I did and spoke to another kind and helpful lady. I was traveling from FL to attend the funeral and felt comfortable giving a budget price then asking them to use their judgement in creating something nice for me. When I arrived at the funeral, our flowers were the centerpiece of the guest table. They were absolutely gorgeous and far exceeded my expectations. Can't say enough good things about my experience with Carol's Corner and the ladies who so kindly took care of me.

As soon as…read moreI walked into the door, I was amazed at how spacious, well organized, and gorgeous this nursery/gift shop is. Somebody at the counter was busy with another customer. There was no other staff around, so I just walked straight into the garden and looked around.

I was in the hurry so I didn't check with staff but I'll definitely come back.

An amazing bookstore that has been around since 2015 and it just recently appeared on my radar. It…read moreis off the beaten path and definitely on a road I do not travel, but that will not keep me from returning and supporting this local and family owned business. So many of our privately owned bookstores are struggling right now, so we all need to reach out and give them as much support as we possibly can. EyeSeeMe, fortunately has a special niche in the market. It has an extensive inventory of books written for and supporting the children of our African American community. Through their success, they now provide and offer books for high school student and adults as well. Today, I attended a virtual book reading co-sponsored by EyeSeeMe and was totally inspired. Before attending the event I shopped the store and picked up a couple of the books being read. Now that the event is over, I cannot wait to give them to a co-workers son. In fact, in the future, I will be doing a lot of gift shopping here for those hard to buy for friends on my list. It will be easy to find something for them here and it will be inspiring. I cannot encourage you enough, please shop local and please support black owned businesses, too. It makes our community stronger. When: February 20, 2021 Why: Virtual Book Reading Event

I realize you have a captive audience but really, do you have to punch the weary traveler in the face just because they have the misfortune to have a delayed flight or are just looking for something to read while waiting to board? A copy of a New Yorker magazine and a candy bar, with tax was $9.54. Really? Holy crap. i'm in the wrong business. Avoid / bring your own stuff. This is ridiculous.

I drove by Buds many times, but I've never shopped with them until recently. I came in on a Monday…read moreafternoon to request a simple bouquet and boutonnière for my courthouse wedding in two days' time. The day was going to be very special for us, but we were approaching it very low-key. The lovely lady at the desk asked for my color and flower preferences, to which I responded very vaguely. She asked for my price point, and then said she'd take care of everything. I arrived about an hour before my wedding. She and two of the other ladies came out to congratulate me and deliver a GORGEOUS bouquet and boutonnière. I was blown away. We received compliments on them all day long. Everything about this experience was magnificent!

She was thrilled, delighted and touched by the beauty of the flowers and the artistry of the arrangement. Could I possibly ask for more? But, more is exactly what I received from this service-oriented, customer-focused floral shop. I'll begin with Amanda, the floral designer. Pleasant, upbeat, and totally in tune with the detailed explanation of my expectations. In a 33-minute conversation, we covered: precise container, flowers, colors, height & shape of arrangement, amount of floral flow over the container and delivery timing. And... She delivered - right down to the type of berries I wanted. BRAVO AMANDA! BRAVO!!! I also applaud other members of their incredibly pleasant staff. My initial contact was with Mary. She was efficient and helpful with size, pricing & staff selection. Brief conversations with Tony & Jane confirmed that this is precisely the shop I would go to for a large, important function or event. So why does my opinion matter? I have been a flower arranger for more than 30 years. I have showcased arrangements at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston three times (for their Art in Bloom fundraiser). I have received ribbons at the Boston Flower Show and numerous local Garden Club Flower Shows & Fairs. I have high expectations. I am BEYOND delighted when a floral shop meets them. My thanks and appreciation to BUDS Floral. Looking forward to our next collaboration!
