Top 500 National Recognition Awarded to Christine's Garden

Congratulations to Christine and her staff for being nationally recognized as a Teleflora Top 500 Shop. With over 18,000 members, Teleflora is the world's leading flower wire service offering only hand-arranged and hand-delivered floral arrangements. Teleflora created this elite program as a way to recognize and thank their member florists for all the support and hard work they do.

Christine's Garden also qualified for membership in the Teleflora National Account Program earlier this year, becoming one of the top 5% of Teleflora Member florist partners. Now that's a partnership we're proud to be a part of! Competition among brick and mortar shops and online stores is tough. Christine has worked hard for this honor through high quality, elegantly designed arrangements and gifts that exceed customer expectations.

With so many different websites to order flowers from, it can be difficult and confusing to choose which one is best for you. We encourage all flower buyers to buy from a local florist website. Some websites use local names in their URL's with a deceptive local look. If you're not sure, go to their ABOUT US page and look at the details. Just because they have a local phone number doesn't mean their really in that area. If you're still not sure, call the number and ask them if you can stop in the shop and pick up your flowers. If they say "No" for any reason, run away as fast as you can.

Most small shops have there own website these days, so why pay a third party a large commission just to collect your money and then forward your order to a real florist that you're not even allowed to talk to if you have any questions about your order. Consumers spend over $500 million a year through these Order Gatherer websites. Stop being taken advantage of by misleading websites that lie about who they really are! Take a moment to find and shop with a local florist's website. It's time well spent!
