Hello, Joe Turbo here. I needed to get some flowers. Not wanting to go the 1-800 route, I did a…read moresearch and even though they seemed out of the way, I stopped in at The Garden Path Florist. The couple who ran this florist was very helpful. I asked the husband about matching an arrangement that would mimic my wife's bridal bouquet. Our wedding anniversary had just happened, but I thought it would be great to do this for her. They had some flowers in the cooler, but I was hoping for something closer. He said they didn't have a lilly that was part of the original bouquet and suggested another florist in town. But I thought, hey I'm here, nice people and I would prefer to shop local, so I picked a bouquet that would do. His wife freshend up the flowers and added some pieces to make it closer to my wife's original bouquet. Excellent family business. My wife was happy and so was I. Thank you.

Twice my husband bought me flowers from CT Flower Shop and both times the flowers were nearly dead…read morewithin 24 hours. The first time I didn't say anything because I didn't want my husband to feel bad. This time, for Mother's Day, when the flowers were a wilted mess within 24 hours I decided to write to the shop and send photos to give them an opportunity to make it right with a refund or replacement, particularly since my husband spent over $180 to have this arrangement delivered. (By the way, the arrangement is appallingly overpriced at $144 and my husband prepaid a hefty delivery fee and an additional very large tip of $20). Although she has promised to send another arrangement today to replace it, she had the audacity to say next time I should follow the instructions and give it water because she claimed there was no water in that vase when in fact it was 3/4 full of water still. The photos provided in my email were close-ups of the wilted flowers and didn't show the vase. I couldn't believe how insulting her response was, trying to deflect blame on the customer. I sent her a response with an additional photo of the full vase of water.... did she think a bouquet of flowers was going to drink nearly half-gallon of water in 12 hours since delivery????? We regularly give businesses second chances, often more, but when a business blames the customer without evidence/justification that's a deal breaker for me. I told my husband just now that he should never use that florist again. I'd rather have no flowers than get poor quality, overpriced flowers from a place that would insult customers like this. Follow up -- in a subsequent email response to me when I had told her that I didn't appreciate her insulting comment, she accused me of refilling the vase after the fact and claimed that my original photo proves it, and refers to me as "triggered". I've added a photo of this communication. And, the first two photos I had attached to this review are what I had sent her (not the one focused on the vase which I sent her after she insulted me). I'm adding to this review a duplicate of the one photo I had sent her and I've added a notation pointing to the water line in that photo - the photo she's claiming shows there's no water. Can you imagine an arrangement drinking over half a gallon of water within like 18 hours LOL. Her behavior in this situation is appalling. 5/13 @ 12:37pm ET: Adding my response to the florist's comment below: She has been repeatedly rude. After making crazy accusations and calling me triggered in email, I told her to not bother sending a new arrangement and instead to send my husband a refund. She was given the opportunity to make it right with my outreach and she chose to be incredibly rude and insulting and direct blame at me rather than just graciously taking accountability like a professional would. After her repeated insults I decided I prefer to not have her come to my house at this point. I've never had to write a bad florist review in all the years my wonderful husband has had flowers sent to me at least 3x/year...till this terrible encounter with this rude woman.

Mere words cannot express how entirely screwed up this vendor is…read more My dearest friend (calling from NY City) ordered flowers for me for Mother's Day. I received an a call from an obviously irritated delivery person saying that I was not home for the delivery so I should come and pick up the flowers, which I was happy to do. She then gave me directions which were totally unfamiliar to me and it evolved that their business was in a city of the same name, but not in the state where I live. She said that it must have been a wire mix-up, and that she would refer the matter to her boss to resolve. Her boss "took care of" it by saying (on my voice mail) in her own irritated phone voice that I should call my friend and tell her to take care of it. Magnificent. This combination of incompetence and nastiness is, fortunately, difficult to match. If they receive any compensation for this, I will never so much as smell another flower. Not Basket Place, but Basket Case.
