I typically do not just hand out 5 star reviews but I cannot short Blooming Barn of any credit. They did fantastic for my Mother's day selection! I called on Thursday the 11th of May and spoke with the nicest lady I have encountered as far as my customer service career in Maine. I'm so saddened that I did not catch her name but she was so welcoming just via phone call. From beginning to end she carried a pleasant tone, was extremely patient with me as I called from work and informed me of all my possible options which is what I consider above and beyond in any type of customer service. I wanted a floral arrangement to represent me and my three other siblings and she was more than willing to communicate different ideas with me and even let me suggest a price point preferred. I explained to her how I live in Hawai'i and she understood the 6 hour time difference and did not rush me to decide. She let me know that they do same day delivery so if worst case scenario happened I would not have to worry. She also pointed out that they DO in fact have a website and I could also order delivery from in case I was unable to reach them in time. I received my order confirmation right away and the price was absolutely reasonable for the beautiful arrangement my mother received that following Saturday. I am so pleased and would highly recommend this florist for anyone with family living in Maine for any type of occasion.

We very rarely buy arranged flowers, the sort you obtain for holidays or special occasions, and…read moresince we moved to a Dexter my impression was that they sold little else here. But this spring we stopped in and I was pleasantly surprised to find healthy vegetable and floral seedlings, both in multi-packs and individually. By this time I knew that my squash seeds hadn't germinated for me except for one, so I decided to get a set to transplant. The gentleman was helpful, to the point where he was trimming off little wilted bits before selling it to me. My wife picked out more flower seedlings and away we went. I don't know if we will need any more seedlings this growing season, but even if we don't, I will have to remember them when next spring rolls around, as it is always preferable to purchase as locally as possible.

I've been vacationing in Belfast almost every year for 40 years. One of the first stops I love to…read moremake is stopping in to see Chris (the owner). She always remembers me and takes time to catch up and chat. The last time I was there, she gave me a coffee mug that had been used to hold some flowers. I still use it and think of her often. Her warm personality and friendliness are some of the big reasons I stop in there. She is quick to help with selections, offer different ideas for things, and put them together quickly. I'm sure she can do it with her eyes closed! It's people like Chris that add that extra bit of happiness to your day. Thank you, Chris! I hope to visit again soon!

Add to that, the arrangement was even more lovely than the photo on the site, and it's an easy all-star review for me. I called in the morning to see if they could make a delivery that afternoon of a somewhat elaborate funeral arrangement. (I should note that it was the week before Christmas, when I know florists are exceptionally busy.) Not only that, we requested a dropoff at a friend's home because the funeral was at a community hall the next morning that did not accept flower deliveries and we'd be arriving too late the evening before to make a pickup. Not only did the floral designer jump on the phone -- unprompted! -- to discuss details of the arrangement, but the driver later called to confirm address info before dropping off. This is really above-and-beyond customer service in my experience of making many such floral orders. (Too many funerals recently but also some happier occasions.) I come from a family of florists, which I did not disclose on the phone, and know that it's rare to get such good help and such a beautiful arrangement. I wish I'd taken a better photo of it to post here. The family of three stoic men took it home after the memorial, the only flowers they made an effort to keep. Thank you for giving them that solace on a very rough day.
