Florists in Alachua, FL

Alachua has three florists, the 2nd largest selection in Alachua County, where Gainesville accounts for 10 on its own. That is a small enough choice that same-day work is worth phoning about rather than assuming, particularly on the run-up to a holiday when a small shop books out quickly. None list a website, so ordering here means phoning, which is usually the better way to get something made to a budget anyway.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Gainesville, about 13 miles away, with 10 florists. Bear in mind that a shop delivering out of its own town will usually charge more for it and may need more notice.

Humidity is the enemy of a summer arrangement here, more than heat. Flowers hold far better in an air-conditioned room than a screened porch, and anything delivered outdoors should be brought in straight away. Tropicals and foliage cope with the conditions better than soft-stemmed garden flowers.
