The Flower Shop

Local florist serving the city of Gainesville, FL, and Alachua County for over 30 years.

The Flower Shop is a florist in Gainesville, Florida. It is listed at 720 W University Ave, Gainesville, FL 32601, which places it among the local businesses of Gainesville that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Florists and flower businesses are close neighbors of garden centers, and many nurseries run a florist counter of their own. Retail florists build arrangements to order and deliver locally, floral designers work by appointment for weddings and events, flower markets and wholesalers sell loose stems and bunches, and flower farms grow seasonal blooms such as dahlias, peonies, tulips and sunflowers, sold by the bucket, by subscription or as pick-your-own. Ordering from the shop directly usually means more flowers for the money than going through a national website.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. On most of those days it is open 9 am–5 pm. Note that it does not open on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach The Flower Shop at (352) 371-2469; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is theflowershopgainesville.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
