My wife and I celebrated our relocated 25th anniversary in Asheville recently so I needed a local…read moreflorist to enhance our celebrations. I found Thoughtfully Curated through an online search and reached out to them via email. Ten minutes later the owner responded back confirming that they can definitely take care of my needs including delivery to our hotel as well as a few suggestions. Five minutes later everything was ordered and confirmed. On our big day the owner texted me a picture of the flowers (they looked great) and confirmed that now would be a good time to send them over as we were wrapping up breakfast and a bit of work. When we got back to the room the arrangement was in a prominent spot and after a few moments my lovely wife took a double take and expressed her amazement of "me" being able to make this happen in an out of town environment. I said that I had some help with some new Asheville friends and told her the story. Later in the day the hotel Concierge told me that she really enjoyed helping me with getting the flowers into the room and that she had a great conversation with the florist owner (she delivered the flowers herself) whom she had been trying to meet with on another matter. Serendipity. You would think things would end here but with a high touch level of customer service, the owner Mara answered my text about how to care for the arrangement (they lasted several weeks) and how to get them home on our 200 mile drive back to Atlanta. She even asked me about where we had been and where we were going during the remainder of our visit. She even suggested a few hiking and walking trails in town and in the nearby mountains that even our hotel Concierge was not aware of. I think that we have a florist for life now in Asheville.

Very happy with the bouquet I had delivered to my mother in law. We live in California and did a…read morequick Yelp search for local florists in the Asheville area. Really wanted to shop local instead of a national chain. Thoughtfully Curated's website was very easy to use! And so happy they were able to work with us on short notice. My mother in law loved her flowers! Would definitely recommend!

I am never disappointed when I go to Painters! I just wish they were open longer than the end of…read moreJune. I've introduced several people to Painters and they've never been disappointed either. The plants are beautiful and I always buy too many. I always find something new I love. Today, I bought several herbs, including a Spicy Orange Thyme. It smelled so good - might be nice in a a stir-fry or an Orange Beef dish. I also bought a Calla Lily. They had half a dozen colors, but the one I couldn't resist was a bright orange-yellow and it reminded of a Torch Lily. The prices on some things are a little higher than I want to pay, but there's no question that they're grown well and look great. The Basil today was huge - a plant that I haven't been able to get to live for the last few years (bought from a different nursery.) The staff are extremely knowledgeable and always friendly and ready to help. Be sure to take a look at the giant plant they have growing in the greenhouse. Gotta go! I've got to plant all this stuff!

A hidden gem in Old Fort, but brimming with aisle upon aisle of beautiful plants! We went…read morespecifically for starter herbs and veggies for our garden and were not let down. So many types of plants, it's easy to go overboard when selecting some to take home! Employees were lovingly tending to plants and available for questions while we looked. Great selection of fruit bearing trees and berry bushes as well! Also if you're in the market for succulents-this is your place, as the selection is diverse and simply stunning. Will gladly be back when I'm ready to add more to my garden!
