I stopped in quick for a gift for family they had just lost their dog and the woman working (I'm assuming the owner) went above and beyond! I really liked the little gifts they had in there. She wrapped up the flower free of charge and put it in a box so it wouldn't fall over in the car. I would definitely come back here in the future! read more

The best of the best...service is wonderful. They know just about everything you need to know about beautifying your home whether inside or out. I won't go anywhere else. They put together this front door greeting to my cottage which I change periodically. The jar is mine and the arrangement theirs [except now it's mine!]. read more

Passed this happy looking place and decided to swing around and stop in. I am so glad I did. Beautiful perennials, annuals, succulents, even a gift shop. It's is a feast for the eyes and the best kind sensory overload if you are plant crazy!! I spoke with an older woman who was very helpful, the staff is friendly too, she even cleaned off my credit card for me after the transaction. I didn't make my way into all the nooks and crannies so I'll have to go back. I suggest you check it out. read more

At the recommendation of a friend, I went to Root System to order arrangements for my daughter's bridal shower - Julie spent time asking about the location and what I was looking for - the results were amazing - They will also be handling the flowers for the wedding - bouquets, boutonnieres and table arrangements - Summary: quality - artistic and beautiful. Experience - she listens and delivers on the vision, and the shop is lovely to go to...bonus points for the attached green house. read more

Julie definitely knows how to send arrangements ordered over the phone. She did not disappoint- she understood the special occasion was for new families united in marriage and sent a gorgeous white lily and green pine table arrangement. The Root System website is easy to navigate and photos are precisely what you expect. No excuses of needing to substitute anything- she actually made the arrangement more abundant. Thank you for your professionalism and genuine care for my gift. I will most surely continue to support you and recommend you.Anna, Wethersfield. read more

Love, love, love this florist!!! I stopped quickly to get a bouquet on my way to a retirement dinner, hoping that they would be able to put something together quickly. The woman working, who I think may have been the owner, said she efinitely help me. She asked if i had any color or flower preferences, I told her I didnt, and just wanted something pretty for about $50. A few minutes later, she had put together an enormous, beautiful bouquet. It was one of the nicest arrangments Ive ever seen. Great colors, superb flower quality. Then, she meticulously wrapped them, making sure they'd stay safe and have water for the car ride. Within the wrapping was a brightly colored piece of tissue paper accenting the bouquet color. She then used a contrating blue ribbon to tie everything up. I was really really happy with the purchase. The store is also really cute with lots of gift items. The flowers/plants/bushes out front looked great too, but i didnt have much time to browse. I highly recommend getting your flowers here! read more

I received a birthday arrangement during the Christmas holiday. What I loved SO much about this arrangement was that it was thoughtfully put together as a birthday bouquet, rather than an already made Holiday arrangement. The yellow Gerbera and purple Iris are gorgeous and I love the touch of pine greenery! Thank you for delivering this beautiful gift to me from my very good friend! read more

We've used The Root System for nearly 10 years and always receive beautiful, creative arrangements. They also did flowers for our daughter's wedding, which were perfect for the occasion. The nursery is also a great place to pick up plants for your house and yard. We recommend them to anyone. Lisa & Joe Kidder read more

What an absolute gem of a local business. I am so happy I went to The Root System to purchase a corsage and boutonnière for my son's high school prom. The corsage was nothing short of AMAZING!!!! Not only did it compliment the dress but also the girls personality. I also requested a matching boutonnière which was equally as nice. When we went to take pictures of the kids all the parents where complimenting the corsage and boutonniere on how nice they looked and loved the choice of flowers which were used, tiny orchids. I highly recommend The Root System, it was an incredible experience. Without a doubt, I will be going back there again. read more

Julie is like an artist. Her floral designs are unique and beautiful. She has done funeral work, weddings and personal gifts for me for years. She has a touch for putting together floral arrangements that are unusual and lovely. She has recently designed a perennial garden for me which is has transformed the front landscape. Her shop is full of interested gifts. Highly recommend the Root System. read more

I would highly recommend The Root System to any friend, or to anyone planning an event in Connecticut. Julie and her staff did an amazing job creating floral arrangements for our October wedding. They were absolutely stunning. The colors, and rustic details to accent were just beautiful. Julie was exceedingly flexible with the different changes we made throughout the process, and worked to keep us within our budget. She went above and beyond our expectations by dropping off the remaining centerpieces at a local retirement home. Thank you so much! read more

Have been looking around for a high end florist since I moved to the area, and it looks like I've found my place! Called at 10 am for a bouquet of colorful flowers for a mentor to be ready at 2 pm with a budget and the arrangement has simply stunning. The shop itself seems to have a lot of gift items and I'll have to return to poke around more. Will use again! read more

My daughter lives out of state and ordered an arrangement for me. It didn't look anything like she ordered and looked to be made with left over flowers. Three days later it was half dead. It was Not anything like the picture she thought i would get. You trust when you order online. Do not use this place. read more

Hi Judy here reporting on the wonderful experience I had with the Root System. I had the pleasure of meeting Julie after deciding I should not do my own flowers for my upcoming wedding which was 1 week away!!! I called in a panic and Julie (owner) was calm, pleasant and made me feel she would take care of everything. And she did! I had the most beautiful flowers for our service and reception. Gorgeous, different groupings of flowers that were truly exceptional. Julie is a wonderful person to work with , I learned of flowers I had never heard of before! The delivery team came to the house on time with well wishes for a wonderful day. I would rate The Root System a 10 out of 10. If you are looking for stunning, different floral arrangements review The Root Systems FB page, you'll be contacting Julie soon after! read more

Needed a last minute bouquet and Julie went above and beyond to create a truly beautiful, one-of-a-kind arrangement. Highly recommend.

I called The Root System at 2:30pm after being told same-day delivery would be impossible by three other local florists. The person I spoke with was incredibly accommodating, and described their available arrangements in detail. It turned a nearly forgotten gift into a really lovely experience, and I know the giftee will be thrilled. Thank you! read more

The Root System provided the flowers for my grandfather's recent funeral. The funeral took place the day after Christmas and the root system delivered the flowers at 7 AM, which means they worked on Christmas to prepare the arrangements. I was incredibly grateful for their professional work at such a busy time of year. Dealing with a funeral this time of year is not easy, but Julie at The Root System went out of her way to make it easier on us. We are very thankful that we chose their shop to provide the flowers and would highly recommend them for any type of function. read more

Thank you Julie and Root System for being phenomenal. My fiance (at the time) and I were massively fretting about how to make our January wedding beautiful and elegant without breaking the bank. Julie understood our plight. She was the perfect hand to hold through this process. She guided the decision making, had creative and elegant and reasonably priced options. Their delivery team was professional and her recommendations were well seasoned (for example how to wrap the bouquet to make it last through the day). When we talk about the "support local" movement, we are talking about Julie and the Root System! She is helping us make our communities look beautiful without emptying our bank accounts. Now I have to look for ways to keep Root System in my life! They are great for the small bouquet on a special occasion or for the big event (like a wedding or funeral). Oh yeah, google maps gets you within a block of the shop but isn't 100% accurate. Just keep your keys peeled. It's a 1.5 story wooden lodge structure. read more

Stumbled upon The Root System while trying to purchase a Christmas tree for our office a few years back. They're a bit pricier than other places around, but the selection was perfect. I absolutely adore the building and how it's decorated inside and out. Rustic and very cute! They have chocolate for sale which was surprisingly very good and candles as well. I'd return for the chocolate alone! Although I've never purchased flowers here, their selection looked fresh and they had some beautiful/unique ones in their fridge. read more

They really worked to get the flowers delivered despite some obstacles. They also kept me updated and were extremely responsive to emails. The recipient said the flowers were beautiful as well. Also, extremely easy to complete the order online. read more

I received a flower arrangement as a thank you gift. I was very disappointed because it was very boring, all white with no color at all! I called The Root System and spoke with the owner explaining that I was unhappy with the flowers I received. I said that in the month of May with all the beautiful bright colors, my flowers are not pretty at all! The sender wanted me to receive a lovely thank you gift and these flowers were anything but...The owner said she would have to call the sender of the gift before she could do anything. I said I would not want to insult the gift giver and with that, she said but you'll insult me and hung up the phone! How incredibly unprofessional!! I have my own business and have previously purchased my Christmas tree, office gifts, etc. from The Root System. After the way I was treated, I will never order from them again and I encourage others not to waste their money!!! read more

Went here to purchase an arrangement for the cemetery and it was inappropriate. Had to come home to rearrange the flowers to make it look somewhat decent. Will not go back. read more
