A Hidden Gem with a Heart of Gold…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about this flower shop and its incredible owner, Eva. My sister-in-law was getting married on a long holiday weekend, and just hours before the ceremony, we realized she didn't have a bouquet. Every shop in town was closed--and I was starting to panic. I pulled up to this shop even though it looked closed like the others, hoping for a miracle. And that's exactly what I got. Eva, the owner, happened to be there and kindly told me they were only taking special orders that day. I explained the situation and asked if she'd be willing to sell me a few flowers to make something small and meaningful. Not only did she say yes--she invited me inside, helped me choose the perfect stems, and even guided me through how to put the bouquet together. She took time out of her day to suggest flower combinations with sentimental value, gave me tips on how to tape and wrap the stems, and even told me where to find ribbon. And the best part? She didn't upcharge me for the last-minute request or her expert advice. I left with the most beautiful bouquet--and I don't think I paid more than $15. In a world where great customer service is becoming rare, Eva is the kind of person who reminds you what true care and kindness look like. She went above and beyond, and I will 1000% be coming back for every special occasion from now on. Oh--and the flowers? STUNNING. Fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully chosen. This place isn't just a flower shop--it's a place full of heart. Thank you, Eva, for turning a stressful moment into one of the most memorable parts of the day.

Dearly Beloved Floral & Gifts has you covered for any special occasion or just every day gifts. I…read morelove this spot. Tucked away in an unassuming parking lot, Dearly Beloved is a beautiful oasis of wonder. They have such a beautiful store with so much love and intentionality poured into it. If I'm in the area, I enjoy stopping by just to enjoy the beautiful space they have created here. Their bouquets and floral arrangements are stunning and impressive. I have seen them execute all styles and creative fun ideas for all types of events, all done to their exceedingly high level of excellence in quality and craftsmanship. I have purchased a bouquet and a nice large arrangement from them, but I would like to get more adventurous next time and really push their creativity such as a super cool burn bouquet I watched another customer purchase. The owner, Melanie, and her trustee right hand, Rain, are two of the sweetest folks and both are extremely talented at their craft. They're happy get to know you, learn about the why behind the flowers, and to explore all the ways to make your arrangement as special as can be. It's fun to chit chat and get creative with them. Beyond floral arrangements, they have a strong potted plant selection which beautifully decorates one of their back walls, as well as gifts and locally made goods from local brands who don't have traditional storefronts such as Meemaw's Soaps and Stuff which they carry consistently. I have purchased and enjoyed both Meemaw's Soaps as well as a nice outdoor decoration with stone frogs which became my first decoration to my yard. It definitely added some much needed whimsy to my yard lol. I'm always looking forward to my next visit to Dearly Beloved!

I placed an order Friday morning for sympathy flowers for a funeral for Saturday evening. At 5:13…read morePM the evening before delivery, my order was suddenly cancelled. Their website showed they were open, yet no one responded to my email. After calling three times, someone finally answered and said they were "out of town" and had just checked emails. By then, it was too late to find another florist, leaving me to scramble last minute for a very important occasion. To make things worse, I am still waiting for my refund of $119.08. For something as sensitive as a funeral, this level of service is unacceptable and extremely disappointing.

This is unprofessional and an embarrassment to her company! Save your money if you don't want dead flowers! Or terrible customer service! I hope this company gets it together we love supporting locally but we will just stick to MT. Vernon florist!

I agree with my mother-in-law: I want to live here. And while I cannot buy one of everything, I can sit and breathe and be one with everything. My cousin-in-law comes here every few weeks because "it's good for my soul," and I absolutely get it. Only 5 parking spaces plus 1 handicapped space, so come in the morning; on weekends, the next door business is closed so folks park there.

It is my favorite place to come when the weather is nice and I want to relax, maybe get a new plant, get inspired, or most recently pick up a new book. They just added a secret library that offers books for purchase, exchange or borrow while there. There are plenty of areas to sit down and enjoy the scenery.

I need to replace some dead trees and found this listing. The former Cooper's Nursery is again…read moreoccupied. I got there a little after 8:00 AM. The other nurseries did not open till 9:00. As I drove by I noticed the property was full of trees. I drive it unsure where to park. I was the only one! I walked around to check out the trees. Eventually this man approached me and asked if I had any questions. I asked him about shade trees, trees with non invasive roots. I also wanted a few flowering plums trees. They were priced at $45.00. Not knowing what trees cost these days, I thought of driving to 2 other nurseries to get an idea. I mentioned to him, I live a mile away and will be back to get some trees. This nursery was short on ground covers and annual flowers. They had a lot of trees and shrubs. Next stop was this nursery on Allen Road. Hmm, it was crowded and I barely found a spot to park. I asked to see some trees and was directed towards the back. Wow, same trees in the same pot cost $20+ more! This nursery sure had a lot choices for annuals, shaded plants like the Japanese Maple. Last stop, a nursery on Norris Road. Not as expensive compared to my 2nd stop. Not much tree selection but definitely had a lot of ground covers, annuals and shrubs. If you are looking for trees to plant here in Bakersfield, Monte Vista is the nursery. Cheapest price for healthy trees.
