This is now Gladje!…read more I visited for the first time on Small Business Saturday and was overwhelmed at the space they have - the building seems to go on forever and there are a few small rooms to check out too. Right away we were greeted by a sweet and bubbly employee and told what deals they had happening and she explained a little bit about the place. There's a check out desk near the back of the building and a painter actively working who was also very friendly. They didn't seem at all perturbed by little ones running around, they welcomed a family with little children and weren't nervous about them breaking anything (there's much to look at and potentially break!) Prices were higher but they're all local artists so I am absolutely not complaining. I got a book for my godchild that was signed by the local author as well as a cute travel puzzle for her birthday - I know she'll love it. I would love to check out their classes and wish I was more local to check out their live music on Saturdays too, such a warm and friendly place!

Inside and across the front porch they have plenty of gift items including seasonal decor, some clothing, bird feeding and pet supplies, kitchen items, food, candy and much more. In the bird feeding collection they have many types of feeders, supplies and seeds. We have never had such spoiled birds especially with the Wayne's seed mix - they get into that like nothing else we have ever tried! Stop in and meet the friendly staff, I think it might become a regular drive and stop for you too.

Put the birdseed out right away and the birds LOVE it! Bought two different types of mixes - both are high quality with seeds that the birds want to eat. The dogs also are enjoying their dog bones. The minute I take the bag out and open it up, all four dogs are sitting around me waiting for their treat! We will be back again for more bird seed and dog bones!

I live in Rockford, Mn and could not stop by and see any of the plants in the store. I feel it is difficult to really know what your order is going to look like just by seeing it on your computer screen. Paris described to me exactly what was in the European Garden, that I am sure it will be beautiful. I felt that the price was very reasonable. She took a lot of time with me and I truly appreciated her doing that. She is kind and understanding and excellent sales person. I will definitely recommend your flower shop.

Lakes Floral made and delivered a stunning bouquet that my sister loved. Lisa, the designer I worked with, is a very talented designer who understood my needs and had suggestions that enhanced bouquet well beyond what I was expecting. On top of her professional expertise, she was exceptionally nice to work with. I also needed the bouquet delivered the day before Valentine's Day...one of the busiest delivery days of the year. My sister needed the bouquet delivered in a nearby town before Noon. I wasn't sure this would be possible but Lisa spoke with the owner of Lakes Floral and he said they would make this happen...and they did. The bouquet arrived in a vase with water, ensuring that is was fresh...and the bouquet looked beautiful for days afterwards. This is a first class premium floral studio... And if you're planning your wedding flowers you really must speak with Lakes Floral... They can make your wedding day beautiful with flowers you'll always remember.
