When I called the phone was answered by an actual human and a very helpful and cheerful one at that. I explained my situation and was presented with the options. I asked if I could call back and consulted my wife and we made our choice. I called back, and the very helpful voice helped finalize the order, asking several questions about delivery timing, etc. They cared enough to want to help get it all right. Their communication was well above average, giving me updates through the process and delivery. It reinforces the soft power of a local business for a reasonable fee, I was able to deliver a live plant hundreds of miles away at a time that worked well and with a personal touch. It's hard to put a value on this kind of thoughtful service. I've updated my contacts for future use when I need something floral in Clover.
When you are several hundred miles away and need something done, reach out to a friend for help. In this case the only contact in the area is the gift recipient. Looking for a specific live plant for a specific day, and the big names in the long-distance flower sector weren't available to help you look locally. Of course, the first resource was YELP, but there were similar issues with availability and delivery. I had to resort to desperate measures and used Google Maps to search for a florist near the delivery address and found The Owls Nest Florist. They deserved a review and hopefully, they will pop up on Yelp for others in the future. read more
