Avant Garden did an amazing job during a very busy weekend that included Mother's Day by delivering a beautiful sympathy basket to my cousin's husband and her children upon her passing. I really appreciate that they were able to make a same day delivery as well. Thank you, Avant Garden, for the wonderful customer service! read more

Their staff is personable and is willing to work with any size budget when you visit their store.

Fantastic flowers and delivery on a last minute order! The addition of a box of chocolates made the gift even more special. Bravo!

I've ordered flowers here now 3-4 times over the last year and a half. The staff has always been quick to answer all my questions and always meets the requested delivery dates. Prices are very reasonable and the arrangements are always beautiful and fresh! Highly recommend! read more

I received flowers on Monday. When I moved the vase to place it on the table, the flowers shifted and the arrangement looked like the old bunny ears in top of tvs. It started shedding the very next day. This is Wednesday and I had to throw the flowers out. All of these flowers should have lasted longer. The asiatic lilies should last 10 days. Don't waste your money on this flowers from this shop. VERY DISAPPOINTING. read more

I ordered flowers from here. I got the premium arrangement which was the biggest and nicest. When she sent me a pic of what was delivered I was so embarrassed. What a rip off. Clearly they made the cheapest arrangement. It was over $100.00 and this is the results. 1st pic is what was delivered.. the 2nd pic is what I ordered.. you talk about RIP OFF! YOU should be ashamed what a joke. If it was to busy to take the time you should have told me when I asked... I would love my money back but we all know thats not gonna happen. I hate writing reviews and I usually don't but this was bulls*it read more

Terrible customer service. called them to see progress on my order and lady was very rude wanted nothing to do with me and was mad I called.

I gave the team at Avant Garden a call for a special request to put together a special bouquet for my mom. I didn't know exactly what I wanted but I asked for something natural with light colors as I didn't see anything online that specifically spoke to me. The team put together a beautiful bouquet with really great customer service as well. read more

While I was disappointed at the quality of flowers I received, I write this review now to reflect more about the appalling attitude and rudeness of the customer service here. I try my best to "buy local" and support smaller businesses, so I ordered directly through Avant Garden, rather than through a larger corporate network like 1800Flowers or FTD. It pains me to have to give a local business such a terrible review, but this was actually the worst consumer experience I've ever had. I ordered an arrangement for my cousin's birthday, as she is in her final semester of college at PSU -- she sent me a picture of the flowers to say thanks. I was extremely disappointed when I saw her flowers, as the photograph advertised on Avant Garden's website (as you can see from my photos attached here) was not what she received. I reached out to Avant Garden, and an employee named Joe was reasonable, apologizing for the inconvenience and telling me he would follow-up with me after speaking with the gentleman who created the arrangement. I was not prepared for the visceral attitude and defensive aggression I received when I spoke with Allan, the owner, on the phone. He first argued with me that the photo I took was not a frontal view of the flowers. I mentioned that, "Honestly, I don't think a frontal view would have made a difference, as there is a clearly noticeable difference in the overall size of the arrangement, and much more of the fuzzy green grass, than actual flowers." I asked him if he wanted me to send a frontal view photo, because I was eager to work with him to amicably resolve the issue. He told me "no." After offering no apology and no reasonable action to correct the situation, Allen had the audacity to say "just from speaking to you, I can tell nothing we do is going to make you happy," in addition to "I'm not going to go back there and pick up the flowers and make her a new one, because that would be silly. Just take the refund, and we'll call it even." I'm not sure how we can call it "even," when I have been insulted and my cousin's birthday has passed with a disappointing delivery. Now, more than the serious flaw in the quality of the flowers, I'm flabbergasted at the rude and offensive manner in which I was received by the customer service. Looking at their Google reviews, this rude customer service seems to be a pattern. Judging by his character, I wonder if he would have spoken to me in this demeaning way -- making it seem MY fault as being unreasonable -- if I had not been a young female. read more

I had poorly arranged flowers delivered to me from a friend out of state.. Card said they were to be delivered on Wed., They came on Thurs. and were looking poorly..In four days it was all wilted and should not have been! Sunflowers dead.. Daisies withered up and button mums individually spiked in here and there after being removed from the main stem..they were all jamned into a silly green vase .. I cannot imagine how much they got for this arrangement, but I would never order from them, esp. If you do so thru FTD...They know we will not call and tell the sender that their.money was wasted! But FTD should know read more

I ordered flowers for our daughters graduation from Penn State. Had Avant Garden deliver them to where we were having our dinner celebration. They were absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful Blue and White flowers! Thank you! read more

We ordered a Mother's Day arrangement six days prior to be delivered Saturday, a day before Mother's Day. This is because we know how busy it gets on Mother's Day and we figure that gives them enough window to delivery on time. They were prompt in charging the account but not delivering any flowers. I've worked in a flowers shop and have been doing wedding flowers for eight years. This is no excuse. I would not recommend them for any special occasion much less a wedding. DO NOT use them - your flowers may never show up. We are still trying to get them to credit the account. POOR SERVICE. FAILED TO DELIVER. read more
