I find it shocking that the arrangements he creates he lets go for the very meager prices that he does. In America we would pay 4-10x as much for something not nearly as beautiful. It's a shame I don't have pictures to post but will be sure to in the coming future. He delivers weekly to a gallery in the spiegelkwartier and it brings me ever renewed joy to see his new creations every Monday. I brought an arrangement of his flowers to someone mourning their lost loved one. The funeral director happened to be there (who most probably sees many, many flowers) and said that she should probably have *this* florist do the flowers for the funeral. A bit of a somber example, but a solid testament to his work. Bravo :) (And in a very cute shop in a convenient location,I may add)

Have you ever met someone, doing their job, living their career and thought *Yep, this person was…read moremade for this.* That's how I felt every time I walked into this sweet little shop. Lousie is like a hummingbird, quickly darting all over, from petal to stem, flowers sort of falling off of her hurried ways, leaving a trail of petals and pollen wherever she goes. She's often busy, but never makes you wait without acknowledging you there. She has a massive selection of gorgeous flowers, it'd be difficult to find even one flower not in perfect condition. And she has a knack for putting together a beautiful arrangement. Probably my most favorite flower shop. There's no excuse why you shouldn't visit her for your next treat to yourself or flower gift.

In Netherlands it is local custom to bring flowers with visits…read more If I wish to impress my Dutch host, this is my flower shop of choice in the Pijp. Flowers are of good quality and last at least for a reasonable amount of time. The shopowner custom makes bouquets while I wait.

This place is gigantic! It's like Disney World's Epcot center but a garden center. It's almost like…read morean IKEA where you only walk in one direction. Lot's of variety of items. Difficult to determine a good review after one visit - but I know it's a good place. I've been going to these garden centers in the USA for years. So it's interesting to see one IN AMSTERDAM that is larger than what I frequented in the USA. We are going back Sunday so maybe more updates soon!

A man once said,"The glory of gardening:hands in the dirt and head in the sun, and heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul." I so do love gardening, especially when there is a moment to enjoy every bit of the sun. Tuincentrum Osdorp is a wonderful plant and flower shop to start a new garden or improve on your gardening skills. You will definitely find plenty of ideas for gardening in here.

Yelp Review 2023 #24:…read more Even on a cold and rainy day, Amsterdam's Bloemenmarkt still has a charm you simply cannot resist. The vibrant colors makes you forget just how cold it is on a winter day. You can buy fresh flowers, seeds, bulbs, and stuff for your garden. There are souvenir shops and restaurants across this flower market. As much as I would have loved to grab something from here to take home, it would've gotten confiscated at the airport anyway and even if we're allowed to bring seeds and bulbs back home, there's no way it would survive Vegas heat. But it was nice to look around and see the beautiful flowers. It is "the world's only floating flower market" on the canals of Amsterdam. It's a free activity until you buy something.

If you love flower/garden shops and especially love tulips then you have to check out Bloemenmarkt…read more It is unique also because it is a floating market as many of the stores are on floating "boats" on the canal. I ended up getting some gifts for family/friends. The area could get a little crowded, and next to the flower markets there are also a lot of separate tourist/gift stores. Even if you are not into flowers, this place is worth checking out as it is near the city centre.

The husband saw me falter at the sign of bulbs for purchase and rolled his eyes, saying he'd meet me in the lounge and not to buy too much. There was such a selection and lots of varieties I had a hard time choosing. Upon checkout, the clerk noted my American accent and verified I was from the States. Luckily, she caught that I was buying packs not approved for the States and directed me towards some alternatives with the USA seal of approval so they wouldn't get napped at customs. What a save! I would have been heartbroken, and then the husband would have made a scene since the customs officer made his wifey upset. This lady really was nice to save us all that. Stored them in the fridge a few months and put them in the ground once temperatures dropped. I'm pleased to say they are all coming up! Great fresh bulbs! Now, I'm just hoping we don't get a late frost or the husband will have a sad wifey on his hands again..
