Unparalleled florist. 5-star service, product quality and staff. The number of perfect '5'…read moreratings Green Cottage gets is no coincidence. Literally everything about their operation is done with care and artistry. Service and product quality are impeccable. Staff are extremely professional. Value for the money is substantive with the most creative arrangements handmade based on the recipient. Even the delivery drivers are interactive and fun! I've been on both sides of the equation: recipient and sender. As a recipient I was presented with a truly spectacular, creative floral symphony. As a sender, the process was fast and efficient. Thankfully, they did NOT ask if I wanted to tip the delivery driver like so many other florists do! Overall, this company impresses me more than almost any I've reviewed in the past ten years. Word-of-mouth regarding their unmatched service/product quality is surprising! Everyone who sees a spectacular arrangement in a 10-mile radius asks "Is that from Green Cottage?" Really a special company.

I was a florist for several years; I feel really good about being able to give flowers that are grown right here in Ulster County (instead of miles away in South America, where the water being used to grow the flowers has been diverted from aquifers that people rely on for drinking water), and I'm happy to be able to support a local business person, Marybeth, who is a careful steward the land. I notice, too, that her flowers last longer than the ones shipped from afar. Her flower choices and color combinations are natural and gorgeous. I highly recommend seeking her out if you need flowers for any occasion.

We offer seasonal flowers and foliage from June through October to people getting married who want to do their own flower arranging. A la carte bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages can be ordered to compliment your DIY bucket order. We also offer wholesale floral material in season to florists, and retail shops, and at Stars of the Meadow's farmer's market booth at the Chappaqua Farmer's market.

There's a warm and inviting vibe as you enter, and a terrific and varied assortment of books displayed nicely throughout. Additional merchandise includes flowers and other interesting gifts. (Miniature garden kits, for instance, when we were there.) And if you're lucky, you can meet the resident "grumpy" cat, Rudie. If you're up for the weekend, it's a great place to find an interesting read, along with some flowers, and certainly a must-visit on your next stop through Rosendale. I'll be interested to see if Postmark Books reminds anyone else, in its own fresh way, of the London Review of Books Store (in London, of course). Oh, and there's an equally amazing tea shop right across the street. How perfect is that?

If the flowers on your wedding day are something you are looking forward to, beware of this…read moreflorist. We hired Hedge for our wedding and found ourselves disappointed at every turn. Sadly, they made so many substitutions without consulting us and there were even instances where arrangements fell apart. During our consultation and correspondence prior to our wedding they were very warm and assured us that they would be able to provide us with the flowers (many for sentimental reasons) we requested. When our wedding day came, we thought they were bringing in flowers for another wedding by mistake. Per the suggestion of our wedding venue (who was also disappointed to see what Hedge produced for us...it was really bad) we requested a partial refund for the arrangements that fell apart and extreme substitutions they made. Sadly, they declined to do the correct thing. Hedge proved to be an untrustworthy vendor that would say anything just to get our business. They showed us that they do not care about their client's requests and wishes for their special day, only their questionable aesthetic and your hard earned money in their pocket (that they will gladly keep even after providing a terrible service.) Stay away from this vendor.
