Florists in Gainesville, FL

Gainesville has ten florists, more than anywhere else in Alachua County. 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. Eight list a website; the rest take orders by phone.

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.
