Florists in Babylon, NY

Babylon has seven florists, the 3rd largest selection in Suffolk County, where Huntington accounts for 11 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. Five list a website; the rest take orders by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Islip, about 8 miles away, with 9 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 local choice of the year, much of it from small farms selling directly to nearby shops. A florist here can often name the grower in season, which is a good sign and worth asking about.
