I've been using David Shannon's Florist for 11 years and every delivery exceeds expectation. I don't know who to compliment more the flowers or the staff!! Both are exceptional. Many thanks for the amazing arrangement and the fast delivery. read more

This is a great florist who helped me with a last minute order. They are really nice to deal with and do a fabulous job of finding what you want! I would highly recommend! read more

Yesterday a young man from Shannon's carried a dozen bags of topsoil into my backyard, three bags at a time, no handcart -- to my awe, and some ruefulness: I'm getting old. On his own, without my asking, he laid the bags all along the border between grass and flower beds. How thoughtful of him! After he left, and I fastened the picket gates, one by one I opened the bags and, with some effort, lifted each and shook out its contents exactly where he had known I had to. Shannon's is the best. My family has been using this business for at least half a century or more! Nicer people there aren't. read more

I used to have a good experience here in the past, but it can be pricey. And a recent interaction was very unfriendly: no clear information on the plant and impatient. Will go elsewhere in the future. read more

I have been using Shannon Florist for many years for all sorts of occasions and events. I have never, ever, been disappointed from the moment I speak to someone and they take my order to the moment it is delivered. Every type of bouquet that is created is lovely and appropriate for the occasion or circumstance. Whenever I order, the person that takes my order is polite and helpful. Whatever I request is carefully considered. The flowered have consistently been delivered quickly and each person that receives them is always pleased. I will continue to use Shannon Florist because they do a fantastic job! read more

Think twice before ordering. At a recent event, their delivery driver blocked an active driveway, caused traffic chaos, and when asked to move, he left his car to approach mine--twice--only to insult my appearance. This behavior was disturbing and unsafe. The florist's response afterward was dismissive, offering only a weak apology and no accountability. Very disappointing after years of business with them. read more

I've been looking for a florist near Greenwood cemetery and not sure how I missed this gem. I was so happy how nice everyone was not to mention helpful.

Thank you for your kindness especially on a difficult day for me read more

we get our tree here every year and they are so helpful and have the freshest trees.

Old school nursery - reminds me of the ones I frequented on Long Island when I was young. Don't pay Manhattan prices for your plants! Come here instead - not cheap, but reasonable, at least. Lots of options for indoor and outdoor, and staff was friendly enough and helpful. Right across from Green Wood cemetery. read more

I wanted to plant some fresh herbs in the planter box at my apartment, so I stopped into Shannon Florist. I met the owner Joe Perotta and he assured me that I was in the right place. He gave me a tour, and I walked out with more than I needed. I have fresh Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. In addition I purchased some Tomato plants and soil. I can't wait for everything to grow. I think I'll plant some Cannabis as well, it's too bad that they don't sell it. read more

I have been only an occasional customer of this local nursery until just recently when quarantine inspired me to get some more greenery around my apartment.

We picked up a last-minute bouquet at Shannon's. The florist stopped what she was doing, wrapped the stems in moist towels, put in freshener and wrapped the whole thing with a beautiful holiday ribbon. The place had many lovely arrangements and everything looked fresh. Excellent prices. Next time, I'll order an arrangement. A really beautiful place with people who know their business. read more

Always completely satisfied with all the beautiful arrangements I've sent. In the spring we get all our plants there and the people that work there are really great! read more

Losing a loved one can be the most painful experience a human can face. Time goes bye so quickly and yet it stands still. As families grapple with the preparations of a funeral, so many pieces need to be in place. The last thing a family needs is to be in more distress as they plan to honor and say goodbye to a loved one. Selecting flowers and preparing can be so overwhelming. David Shannon Florist and Nursery provided over the top flower arrangements. Their friendly staff was very responsive to emails and quickly accommodated our family with flower arrangements. A few months ago when our grandfather passed away, the flower company we contacted did not deliver. David Shannon Florist stepped in to try and accommodate us as quickly and as swiftly as possible. I cannot thank them enough, for their patience, love, professionalism, care and in a timely manner. During these unprecedented times, David Shannon Florist and Nursery stepped up and helped us honor Gustavo Sosa Mota, great man, a great husband and an outstanding father. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this work, but most of all, for doing the work with love and respect for humanity. Always The Sosa Mota Family read more

Rosalind G. Today (March 18th) is my daughter's 26th birthday. The flower arrangement I ordered for her, consisting of white hydrangea and pink peonies with eucalyptus is exquisite! She couldn't wait to call me to say how absolutely beautiful the arrangement is and how it was delivered with great care. My daughter only recently moved back to Brooklyn. I wanted something special and David and Shannon Florist and Nursery did exactly that! I have never used this florist before but you can be assured it'll be my go to for future orders! read more

They did the flowers for our wedding and we had a great experience. They built the table arrangements, large displays for the altar, and the bouquet, and everything they built was beautiful. They were excellent to work with and gave us great advice to pick flowers that matched the color scheme we wanted and helped us put together a beautiful bouquet of orange calla lilies that got compliments all night. read more

We recently worked with David Shannon florist for arrangements for my mother's Memorial Service and they did an absolutely amazing job. We met with Junior one week before the service, and he listened closely to our requests and preferences. We arrived at the church to find exactly what we wanted, if not even more beautiful. All our guests commented on how lovely everything was. Junior was even able to fulfill a challenging request of very out-of-season flowers (my mom's favorite) and it was all so touching. The arrangements lasted for days and days. We will be using them again without hesitation. Thank you for honoring our event with such beautiful arrangements! read more

be careful with Shannon. Sold me 2cu ft of material but only gave me 1. When i went to get the other cu/ft they said that I only paid for 1 and basically to f- off. They dont give receipts either... the older lady at the cash register is inept, please be careful when dealing with her also. When you make a purchase be sure you are getting what you paid for... read more

The folks at David Shannon Florist exceeded our expectations in every way. We hired them to do the floral centerpieces at our July wedding.

Our budget was tight, but they were able to accommodate it without skimping on flower quality. They know exactly what they're doing and will make your wedding planning experience easy-breezy.

Now that the dust has settled, I figured it was time to write my review on Joe and David Shannon Florist & Nursery. I could not believe what a truly magnificent experience I received. Joe and his staff worked very fast to ensure that we had received a beautiful Navy Anchor, on the same day, for my father's wake. Not only was the entire experience of placing the order a blessing, but the flower guidance we received was not to be outdone. They went above and beyond the call of duty. I would recommend this florist for any occasion and would not hesitate to stop by their nursery the next time I am in town. You could easily feel like family at a place like this. read more

DO NOT ORDER FLOWERS FROM THESE CROOKS! I called in February to order an arrangement for my best friend's birthday. I wanted to make it really special for her because it will be her first birthday since her mother passed away. Her mothers favorite color was purple so I set out to find a purple flower bouquet. Came across their website and found the perfect bouquet I knew she would love! Called in to the florist gave them the item number, delivery address & my credit card info everything went smoothly until my friend posted a pic of the flowers on Instagram & they were a horrible yellow color! Mind you I ordered PURPLE!!!! Called the florist right away & a man with a West Indian accent answered the phone. Told him about the error & he said "the purple flowers that you ordered were dead so I sent out the yellow flowers with purple tips". The flowers had no hint of purple anywhere & the yellow was hideous! I told him what I paid for is what I expect to get. He shouldn't have made a decision like that without contacting me first because I would've simply cancelled my order. His solution was "I can go take the flowers from her & refund your money". WTH!!!! After I told him that was the most ridiculous thing he could come up with, he said the best he could do was give me $6.00 off my next order! I told him that he didn't have to worry about it because I'll never order from them again! read more

BUYER BEWARE! We have been buying flowers from Shannon for many years. A couple of weeks back my wife was buying flowers for the cemetery and she had noticed a funeral flower car loaded with flowers from a funeral pull into the parking lot. The driver unloaded the flowers then proceeded inside the florist. The owner of Shannon pulled out $20.00 from the register and hand it to the driver. So I guess next time you purchase certain flowers you maybe paying for recycled flowers at a premium price. read more

Shannon graciously stayed open a few minutes past closing to allow my grandkids to pick out pumpkins. We hadn't checked their hours. The nursery staff and owners were pleasant and patient with two excited children and grandparents and made our day by doing so. Thanks. Shannon. read more

I must say after calling and complaining about the flowers I received on V-day, they sent me a new arrangement the following day. That was very sweet of them and extremely unexpected. Thanks you very much! read more

Never disappointed when ordering from here. Staff is always pleasant and kind and the flowers are top quality. My last order was requested on a quick turnaround, a shamrock arrangement for a funeral. It really came out beautifully. Thank you! read more

I ordered flowers the day before my girl friends bithday from their website. I ordered "Zen Artistry" which makes a nice table centerpiece. I got the deluxe upgrade but I'm not sure what part was the upgrade since the delivered bouquet looked exactly as pictured for standard. It contained Purple dendrobium orchids in a nice black flat container. It looked fantastic and I was pleased with it. I was glad the vase was black because it looks better than the green one pictured. I had to call them and ask them to ring some other bells in the building since she decided to go out unexpectedly. They found a neighbor to let them in and put the flowers right at her door as I had hoped. I would definitely use them again. read more
