Peggy did an amazing job on our florals for our wedding day! I don't know much about flowers, so I gave Peggy our color palette and she was able to find the best flowers and also helped us stick to our budget. I was so impressed on her knowledge of florals! She also showed me examples of the flowers she would use to put together my bouquet. We looked for florists all across the Chicagoland area, and the value that you get from Peggy was the best! Peggy stayed at our venue throughout the wedding day and helped our wedding party and parents with their corsages/boutonnières, florals for our cake, moving florals from our arch to the sweetheart table, decorating the hanging wreath for our venue, etc. Peggy was so kind! We highly recommend her for your wedding!! :) P.S. All photos were taken by our photographer, John Foley. read more

Sent a birthday arrangement to my sister in law. Having had bad experiences in the past I was concerned that the arrangement would be what I wanted. They were very helpful and even sent me a photo of the arrangement for approval before delivering it to my Sister-in-law. She absolutely loved it! Highly recommend these guys. read more

Owner is super sweet and was able to complete my last second order! I needed 12 arrangements for my baby shower on Saturday, and I had called less than a week ahead of time. She had two jobs that day already but still was able to accommodate me and make the most beautiful arrangements within my budget. read more

Thank you to Peggy for beautiful flowers and excellent customer service and coming through for me at the last minute!

Peggy was an absolute delight to work with! From our first meeting to the big day, she was so friendly and responsive. I do not know much about flowers but had a few photos from Pinterest and Peggy made my dreams come true! Her attention to detail and artistic touch were exceptional and the colors in the flowers popped in all the photos we took. She delivered the flowers early and they were even prettier than I could have imagined! The flowers I received more than exceeded my expectations. I feel like I got top quality flowers for a reasonable price and my bridal bouquet lasted for weeks after the wedding and I was able to get them preserved after I got back from the honeymoon. I highly recommend Garvin Gardens for all your floral needs. I look forward to working with Peggy again in the future for her lovely flowers. My heartfelt thanks to Peggy for turning our day into an unforgettable fairytale! read more

This 5 star review might be the strongest 5 star that I have ever written. We used Peggy (Garvin) for our wedding and she was everything you could ever ask for. She knows her stuff and has been doing it for decades. She is fun to work with and will make sure that everything is absolutely perfect. I can't say enough about the job that she did for our wedding! Even though she is out in South Elgin she had no problem handling our wedding downtown. She was really the only florist we interviewed, but after talking to my other married friends she is an absolute bargain with her pricing as well. If any of you would like to see pictures I would be more than happy to share. I kid you not when I say this that you would be crazy to not use her if you are getting married in and around the Chicagoland area. read more

Peggy is so easy to work with. She did the flowers for my daughter's wedding at The Haight. There were 9 bridesmaids and 175 guests. She was able to help us stay within our budget with wonderful suggestions. The girl's bouquets were beautiful and my daughters bouquet was even more beautiful. I can't say enough good things about her and her work. I am so grateful we found her. read more

Peggy did the flowers for our wedding and they turned out better than I could ever imagine. We only met twice, and after showing her a few pictures and giving her a color scheme she created the bouquets of my dreams! I chose to have wildflower/country vintage theme for my wedding and Peggy to an amazing job including all of the flowers that I wanted. Everything was fresh and lovely to the max. I could not have imagined anyone else doing my flowers and being just as happy. Please don't go anywhere else, you may regret missing this one! read more

Peggy did a GORGEOUS job our florals! She was very knowledgable and has excellent taste. She made exactly what I had in mind and the day of the wedding I was surprised to see that they had turned out even BETTER than I had imagined!!! Our wedding has 250 people, and I had 9 bridesmaids and she handled our event effortlessly. She was a joy to work with and I would absolutely recommend her!!! read more

Peggy did the flowers for our July wedding. The bouquets were absolutely beautiful and the centerpieces were exactly what we wanted. A few months before the wedding I met with Peggy to explain our "vision" and she was spot on. She also set up our entire reception hall for us: centerpieces, table numbers, guestbook, hung pictures, etc. Basically, she went above and beyond. Her prices are the best around... and it also doesn't hurt that she is super nice and very personable. read more

Peggy did the flowers for my daughters wedding on Sept. 7, 2019. We were not sure exactly what we wanted besides the color and Peggy walked us through every step of the way with great suggestions to stay within our budget. She is absolutely an incredible person who is full of joy and she took such great care in setting everything up from the wedding arch, placing lanterns with candles along the aisle and moving everything from outside into the reception area and re-purposing everything for inside. The flowers were stunning and fresh and the bouquets were just perfect. You will not be disappointed and her attention to detail is awesome. There are not enough words to say about her professionalism and she helped to make this a joyous day for all of us. read more

Peggy was a pleasure to work with during the whole wedding planning process.

Peggy and MaryPat were amazing to work with. They were friendly, accommodating and easy to work with. We booked Garvin Gardens for our wedding and I am so happy we did. The flowers turned out beautiful and they were exacty what I wanted. MaryPat was even able to meet the wedding party at our different locations the morning of our wedding to hand out bouquets and corsages, and pin the boutonnieres. Garvin Gardens is wonderful and I recommend them to anyone in need of flowers for an event. read more

I absolutely echo what the other reviewer said - Peggy was FABULOUS. We used her for our wedding in June 2011, and I was just googling Garvin Gardens to send her info to a friend, and I felt compelled, almost 2 years later, to say how great she was to work with. Her prices were amazing, and the flowers were gorgeous. She knows every flower out there and can tell you what holds up well in bouquets, what is available that time of year, etc. If you have colors in mind, she can give you dozens of options that will work. My mom cared a lot about the flowers, and Peggy was extremely patient with my mom, which is not always easy to do. Even though she's out in the suburbs, she will come to you to meet and discuss the flowers. I never felt inconvenienced by the fact that she didn't have a store and works out of her house. She had many floral magazines to look through, as well as pictures of her work in the past. She has been doing this a long time. We only talked to one other florist, almost as an afterthought, and their quote was almost double what Peggy charged us. If you're getting married anywhere in the Chicagoland area, use her! read more

Peggy did the flowers for our wedding last weekend and I couldn't possibly be happier! She was such a joy to work with and made the process so easy (coming from someone who is not a "flower person"!). Peggy came out to meet me near my home for our initial appointment and it was immediately clear that she understood my vision and she made helpful suggestions along the way. Communication was easy and she responded right away to my questions throughout. On the day of, Peggy delivered our flowers to 3 different locations and was so helpful - pinning the flowers on the guys (thanks!) and bringing a range of shades of ribbon to make sure the girls' bouquets had the perfect match. She attached charms to the bouquets for me, and brought our larger arrangements to the church, setting them and the aisle runner up for us. Everything was absolutely stunning, more beautiful than my own vision for the flowers! On top of it, Peggy is just a really nice person and seemed truly excited to be there on our special day. I can't thank you enough! read more
