Visit — The Optimist Florist

Hours

By appointment.
Always with notice.

The studio is a working space — most days there's a wedding being built or a thousand stems being conditioned. Appointments help us keep your visit calm and the cooler door closed.

Drop-ins are welcome on Saturdays after noon when we run a small open-studio window, with coffee from Plaza Midwood Roastery and one or two ready-made bouquets to take home.

By appointment

Wed – Sat
10am – 5pm

Custom orders.

For hostess gifts, hospital rooms, anniversaries, apologies, sympathy arrangements, and the small unmarked Tuesdays that deserve flowers anyway.

Hand-tied bouquet

From $55. Designed around what's at peak that day. Available with 48 hours notice; same-day if we have the stems on hand.

Vase arrangement

From $90. Arrives in a hand-thrown ceramic vessel by Laura Bell — yours to keep. Three sizes; we'll recommend based on the room.

Dried & forever

From $120. Long-lasting compositions of dried stems, grasses, and seed heads. For offices, weekend houses, and rooms that don't get fresh water as often as they should.
