    Terrarium from the giant event at the Museum of Natural History - SO COOL I HAD TO HAVE MY OWN!
    Michael L.

    5 stars 5 stars 5 stars 5 stars What did I say? 5 stars! Why did I say it? Because if you go to anyone else for flowers or Weddings or Events, you are missing the best artist, florist, and business I know. Alison, the owner is a friend and I cannot recommend her enough. I respect her so much, she puts everything she has into this business and as you can see by the reviews, she has what it takes to make your event awesome. I helped her one day deliver 200 + glass Terrarium table decorations to the Museum of Natural History on the USC campus for this 5,000 or so person event. They were so awesome, huge glass pieces of varying shapes and sizes that had sand in the bottom with plants, and these really detailed animal figures in them. It was like they were little animals in a jungle scene (monkeys, bears, apes, wolves, elephants, etc) - they were so awesome I paid her to make me one special with fake plants for my house! I think everyone should own one of them, they are so fun everyone loves it. I'll upload a pic of one, and when you see it you will have to call her and just order one of those. Think couch-side table or kids room, or kitchen. It is so fun to have the bear in there he is so funny! Also, she works with a really famous makeup artist for the film industry that is an old friend and together they put on these beautiful shows called "Human Vase": http://www.lapetitegardenia.com/portfolio/humanvase/ How awesome is that? LetMePutItThisWay: If you are looking to do anything floral, and you interview Alison for the job, you are going to be hard pressed to find someone you want to work with more. I personally will be working with her on a show at Discanso Gardens in April, as well as I want to be in her next Human Vase Show with my artwork.

    Baby shower florals on point!

    My go to for any event floral needs is La Petite Gardenia! She created the most amazing floral wall for my baby shower! Everyone was so impressed and couldn't stop taking photos in front of it. She also made a one of a kind plant sculpture for my office in LA that got so many compliments. She's so talented!

    12/11/21 - La Petite Gardenia's arrangements were everything...

    La Petite Gardenia saved me when another florist backed out one week before my son's bar mitzvah. Alison bent over backwards to make my event exquisite. She assuaged my concerns and took over. When I walked in the room and saw her creations that night, I was in awe. Just stunning. Thank you, La Petite Gardenia, for everything

    Pretty!

    Surprise! My boyfriend got a perfect flower arrangement delivered to my work! It totally made my Valentine's day even more special. Such gorgeous colors and lovely combination. All I can say is that whoever made my arrangement is super talented! Thanks for making my Valentine's day more memorable!

    See all

    This was my first time at the flower market and I was in such awe of EVERYTHING. EVERYONE is so…read morenice and friendly ; and very educated on the flowers and plants. I got such a great price on all the flowers I bought . I would drive here over going somewhere close to me. The flower market is the way to go.

    Went here on Friday and I do not think this place is worth it whatsoever. I was highly disappointed…read moreafter wanting to go here for over a decade. First the website mentions parking on the roof and we could not find this parking. There was an area blocked off, but it didn't say full. It was just blocked off and the only reason I suspect that was their parking lot is because the exit was still open. So I had to pay for $10 across the street. Yes we could have found street parking further away, but I was already frustrated not having found their lot and my partner was just like I'll just pay. Let's just go across the street. Next even though it is mentioned on the website (I don't remember seeing it despite looking at the website multiple times) and there was a $2 entrance fee. what am I paying $2 for? Why am I paying $2 to shop and spend more money? I'm sorry just on the way there as we got closer, there are so many flower shops around the mart so I don't see why you wouldn't just go to one of those and get your flowers without having to pay an additional fee. So now, we are already $14 out-of-pocket and we havent done anything but try to park and step inside. We get inside we look around and I honestly did not find the prices to be that different from a farmers market perhaps a slightly bigger bouquet, or a couple of dollars cheaper, but there was nothing that was like ooh, this is a great deal. We ended up buying a large bouquet of lilies for $25. There is a stall in the back that had what I would consider actually good price prices. Five stems for $10 and a big bushel of another kind of flower for $6. We got those as well. My partner also really liked the plant guy and bought a plant from him from $20. Now here is where I really will not be back. I stopped at a stall called Choice America. I saw a really pretty set of mum's and asked how much they were & was told $10. The guy helping me then confirmed that they were $10 with somebody else. He then went on to say that one with eight stems was a higher price that I don't remember because I knew I wasn't getting that.When I got to the counter to actually pay, the woman was going back-and-forth with another customer about some order. They both seemed equally frustrated. Why is this important?.. because when it was my time to pay she said $10. I handed her a $20 bill. She opens the register and pulls out a five and some ones throws up her hands. I deduced that already being frustrated this is just one more thing on top as she doesnt have enough change to give me and instead turns to me and says $12.50. I kind of stumble and I say for what... tax or something? and she goes yeah tax clearly lying! Even if they did charge tax, which no other stall did, sales tax in Los Angeles on $10 it's not $12.50. The unfortunate problem is that I am black and I am not afforded the luxury to say something back because then I'm seeing as an angry black woman, have the police called on me not being believed etc. etc. so I just have to bite the bullet and get scammed and ripped off of my money. My partner and I both agree that it was not worth the hassle to go, but he really wants to take me to the restaurant across the street so we would go back to the plant guy and we would go back to the stall in the back but even those are BIG IFS as neither of us has any desire to ever go back to the Flower Mart. I feel like overall. The whole place is a money grab, you should save your money and go to your local farmers market or visit one of the many other vendors that were around the area without having to pay an admission fee to even buy flowers. Or better yet be bold like the elderly lady who accosted us as we were leaving and asked "are you all done in there can I have your sticker?" I was already too flustered to even recognize what she was asking till after my partner happily handed his over.

    this place was highly recommended by a friend, who he had gone there before and had placed an order…read morehimself for our grandbaby's funeral service. He paid for the delivery service. Upon arrival we met with Gladys at the flower shop and assured us the secured delivery and knew exactly where to deliver. We placed our order and as you know funeral arrangements are not cheap. On the day of the service, we went to the cemetery and when we arrived, we noticed our specific arrangements ordered from this place were thrown on the ground and broken, with roses out of place and in the ground, while the other arrangements from other shops were nicely placed and displayed. as a grieving family, you would want everything to go as plan, smooth and beautiful, as appreciation for your loved one. My husband called Gladys, and spoke to him and said that the arrangements were placed at the gravesite, but yet when she sent the pictures, it was no where near our grandbaby's site. Very disappointed that after talking with her, she was adiment that it was not her delivery workers but instead blamed it on Rose Hills. My husband all he wanted from Gladys and the flower shop to take responsibility for the misdelivered of the flowers arrangements and destruction. Please do not place your orders with this shop, unless you want these arrangements destroyed.
