I feel so fortunate to find Margaret as my florist for my wedding. She is very gifted with color palettes as a florist, matching my bridesmaid dress color with the flowers. Her arrangements are very beautifully made and ours guests were even competing to take tables arrangements home! Margaret really goes above and beyond to make sure the big day is a huge success. Most of all, her pricing is very fair as she offers superb quality flowers. You will not regret working with her!!! read more

I cannot say enough about my experience with Margaret & AB Florist! She made our wedding vision come to life! Our flowers were beyond beautiful and she was so helpful every step of the way! She even came to the rescue when our outdoor ceremony had to moved inside due to the rain and we couldn't be happier with the service! We were able to stay within budget while looking like a million bucks! read more

This florist shop may be hidden underneath the LIRR train tracks, however it should have a permanent spotlight. This has easily become the ONLY place I go to shop for arrangements and special event flowers. Margaret has the best prices around and she listens to you. She creates magic from just an image, or invitation, or just by asking what colors you like. She works with your budget and is straightforward. Something that we need more of. From micro weddings, to baby and bridal showers, to my own wedding.. I have been nothing less but impressed and in awe of everything she creates. As an avid lover of flowers and design, Margaret is 5 STARS! read more

This garden / flower shop offers a variety of different services to their customers. Over the last 6 years, I've purchased and received several large and small orders from this place and they haven't disappointed. It may not look like a fancy boutique shop, but their flower are great quality and long lasting. I so appreciate the mom and pop feel I get when I go in. They offer fairly priced merchandise and make really nice arrangements. I recommend you check this place out. read more

Lovely craftsmanship. My fiancée and I visited NY for just a few days and spontaneously decided to do a photoshoot so we could use the pictures for our wedding invitation, and we wanted a bouquet. I just walked in the shop while we were in Flushing, and asked Margaret to make a white flower bouquet with a touch of yellow within the next hour. There was so little time, but boy did she pull it off! Even though it was totally unexpected and unplanned, she made the best use of the flowers she had on hand, and made the most beautiful bouquet that went on fresh for a full 48 hours (We only refrigerated it once for an hour or two). If you call her in advance, she would do an even more awesome job for sure! read more

I recently got married 10/29/16. Marguerite was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. From the first visit Marguerita knew exactly what I wanted and came up with beautiful arrangements for myself and bridal party. Any questions I had she answered. If I suggested something and she didn't think it was a good idea she told me. That's hard to find and great to have, because she has so much knowledge on plants and flowers and what will hold up and what wont.. She picked beautiful colors. She incorporated everything I asked for for a fall wedding. She was easy to reach whenever I needed to and so accommodating. Marguerita even delivered our flowers and was early which eased us on the big day. Its a few days later and the flowers are still holding up perfectly. I wont go else where for flowers now. read more

My family has been using AB Florist for years, so there was no question in my mind who to use for my wedding this past weekend. Margaret truly delivered spectacular pieces. I got tons of compliments the whole night on the bouquets, the decor, and the centerpieces. My fiancé did not see any "need" for elaborate flowers and let me and my mom decide everything and we knew Margaret would give us above and beyond what we needed. I have wanted to have a fall wedding for as long as I can remember because I love bold bright colors. I was speechless and gasped when I saw my bridal bouquet with orange, burgundy, and pale green accents and small berries. It was more perfect than I could have ever imagined! read more

I recently got married on 12/9/17. I had previously used Margaret for my engagement party and I knew there was no one else I would use for my wedding except her. We had a Gatsby themed wedding at the Bourne Mansion in Oakdale and Margaret matched the theme perfectly! I provided her a number of Pinterest photos and she discussed availability and pricing of those flowers for that time of the year. Margaret was available for any questions I had leading up to the wedding through e-mail, text and phone calls. Even though it snowed the day of the wedding, everything turn out amazing and was there in plenty of time! Thank you Margaret for a stress free wedding day and beautiful flowers/centerpieces!! Will def. use her for all future events!!! read more

Margherita and her family are the absolute best. So easy to work with, reasonable, top quality flowers and gorgeous arrangements. They deliver and set up my Christmas tree, deliver rock salt when it snows,and are the sweetest people. The guests at my son's christening are still raving about how the outrageously beautiful autumnal centerpieces are still perfect 10 days later! I will ever go anywhere else for my flowers or plants. read more

Margarita, is absolutely the best! So accommodating! She'll get you the best price for beautiful flower arrangements!

Marg got back with quotes super quickly and offered wonderful suggestions. She made bouquets and boutonnieres for us and they were all made beautifully and ready for pickup. We had to pick up early in the morning but that was a problem for her to arrange! She was professional and provided extra petals for us to use at our venue. Prices were reasonable and would use her again! read more

I want to start off by saying we were reluctant to hire a florist for our wedding. We had met with a few other florists and were pretty turned off from the whole process of hiring one for our wedding. That changed when we met with Margaret. She was the only one who fit every check mark on our list (we met with 5 others). She was attentive, truly understood what we wanted, and even had such creative and amazing ideas before we even hired her. The best part was she was willing to work within our budget. We decided to hire her that day, even after meeting with others who were also willing to work within our budget. A few weeks before the wedding, our table count increased by 10 and Margaret was so understanding and willing to work with the 10 extra tables. She worked with us to make sure everyone (including parents, grandparents) had all the right flowers and colors. We went from not caring about flowers at all to being completely obsessed with them. We could not stop talking about how great our florist was and how BEAUTIFUL she made our wedding day. She ended up doing 26 tables, and one sweetheart table, our outdoor ceremony, our wedding cake, and entire bridal party and parents. I had a vision for what I wanted and the colors but she took it to the next level and turned that into reality (with considerations on our budget limit- she never pressured us into getting something we didn't want). We still rave about our flowers AND Margaret. So many people made a point to tell us how gorgeous our flowers were. I cannot thank Margaret enough for working with us on the days leading up to the wedding and for her hard work the day of the wedding to make our day perfect. I have already recommended her to so many people and will definitely work with Margaret again! read more

Excellent florist! Have used them for over 10 years. Margaret did my wedding and had flowers for church and reception. My center pieces, boutenirs and bouquets all came out beautiful. People and myself included took them home. I couldn't have been happier. Thank you for making my special day beautiful!!!! read more

I asked Marg for tropical themed centerpieces with birds of paradise for my son's one year birthday party. Her flowers were amazing! They stole the show. Marg had less than a month to put them together and delivered them on July 4! She was very responsive and timely with her response. She was extremely helpful on the day of the party and helped me put the decor together even asking the hotel staff to help me get what I needed before my guests arrived. I highly recommend working with her. Thank you! read more

My daughter-in-law's baby shower was last Sunday. My daughter found AB Garden Center and I decided to go there and give it a try. Margaret was very pleasant, not pushy and very helpful. I had a low budget for some centerpieces and, boy did she come through. The arrangements were beautiful. The flowers were fresh. The price was much better than I would have gotten elsewhere. I was so happy with everything that this week when my school needed flower presentation bouquets, I suggested AB Garden Center. The bouquets were extraordinary. Everyone was very pleased with them. AB Garden Center is now my "Go To" florist and also for my school. I highly recommend. read more

We worked with Marg on our flowers for our wedding this past November. It was a pleasure working with her and she really cares about what she does. We had a lavender theme wedding and she provided us with a lot of ideas and flowers that we can use. The centerpiece, bouquets and corsages/boutonnieres for our wedding came out just the way we wanted them to be. For my bouquet, I provided Marg with a picture I found on pinterest and she was able to professionally tell us what flowers were used and how much it costed without hesitation. The bouquet came out to look exactly like the picture and even better. I was very happy with it and it was also at a reasonable price considering the amount of flowers that were used. All in all, it was a pleasure working with Marg and I would totally recommend using her for any floral needs. read more

This was my second time ordering centerpieces and bouquets from AB and I was not disappointed. Margherita is so easy to work with and her flowers are just gorgeous, one week later and the bouquet is still perfect. All the extra touches she adds to her work is amazing and a true talent. I travel from Long Island into Queens for my flowers because I do not trust any local florists by me. read more

The best I've come across. Margaret is an amazing florist. She has great eye, style and sense. She made a funeral spray and the flowers were not only abundant and beautiful, she knew how tall it should stand in order to be seen by everyone all the way in the back of the room. Can't thank her enough! read more

Margherita is amazing! She did such a wonderful job at my wedding in September. She added flowers to my chuppa, designed a beautiful sunflower bridal bouquet with matching mini bouquets and crasages that were personalized by color which matched her dress or his suit. We picked out beautiful lanterns for our center pieces and Margherita added her personal touch and designed and amazing display of sunflowers violet greenery around our lantern. Absolutely stunning! Final touches around our wedding cake added to the sweetness! She definitely has away with flowers! read more

Margherita and her staff were amazing. While planning our one year old's first birthday party, we sent a photo of what we wanted to another florist and their sample was not acceptable. We realized we needed to move on and and found AB on Yelp. We sent Margherita the photo and within one or two days she produced a near perfect sample. At that point, we knew AB was the right florist for the occasion. After a visit and a few more phone calls, we were all set. AB delivered big time, and is a big part of the reason our event was so successful with our guests. AB did magazine cover quality work. A big shout or to Marghertia and her staff. Thanks for making our event so special. read more

AB florist is the best!!! Margaret created the most beautiful creations for my bridal shower and for my wedding as well. I trusted her professional opinion, as I am not too knowledge about flowers, and she created the most beautiful bouquets for us. She continually contacted me to ensure I was happy and sent me pictures to ask my opinion. Her delivery was prompt and we had absolutely no issues. I highly recommend AB florist for any event you have! read more

Margarita is absolutely amazing. My wedding day was gorgeous because of her and everything went flawlessly. I really can't say enough great things about her and this shop.

My wedding was yesterday and I couldn't have asked for more! Margherite heard my vision and delivered exactly what I wanted. Very reasonable prices. Great quality. My bouquet was stunning! I got so many compliments. The flowers were delivered on time to the home and church and the reception decorated beautifully. RECOMMEND! read more

Customer service was unbelievable. I came in to see if I could buy some flower pots for my school's gardening program. Margaret was so accommodating that she gave me ALL of her plastic flower pots (Literally ALL of her flower pots she could find) as a donation to our school. She searched around her whole store to find as many pots as she could. I couldn't have been more grateful. Not to mention her flowers around the store were absolutely beautiful and well taken care of. If you are looking for a florist that cares about customer service and not about trying to make money off of you, this is the place! Thanks Margaret!! read more

I recently used AB Garden Center for my daughter's Sweet 16. We walked into the shop confused and unsure of what we wanted. However, that quickly changed. Margherita "WOWed" us with her creative ideas and put our minds at ease. When we arrived at the party, the flower/candle arrangements were already there, delivered and set up as scheduled. They were absolutely beautiful and my guests were raving over them. AB GardenCenter provided very professional and creative service. I will be using them again and AGAIN! read more
