Florists in Albany, CA

Albany has five florists, the 8th largest selection in Alameda County, where Oakland accounts for 48 on its own. That is enough to compare on style and price rather than taking the first quote, and independent shops differ more on both than their listings suggest. Four list a website; the other takes orders by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Berkeley, about 2 miles away, with 18 florists. Bear in mind that a shop delivering out of its own town will usually charge more for it and may need more notice.

Summer brings the widest choice of the year, including dahlias, which travel badly and are therefore almost always local wherever you find them. Coastal fog keeps things cooler than inland, so a florist near the water is working in kinder conditions than one in the valleys.
