Looking for the perfect florist this spring season? This list of beautifully curated flower shops is for you. 

Each shop in the following list is in or around St. Catharines, making them easily accessible for Brock students looking for something to brighten up their student home.  
 
Adam’s Flora: 

Located at 144 St. Paul Street in St. Catharines, Adam’s Flora is a gorgeous little hole in the wall that homes a diverse assortment of plants. While the store’s main export is flowers, Adam’s Flora also sells a variety of succulents, herbs, local artisan goods and magical supplies. Open six out of seven days of the week, the store operates from 11 a.m to 7 p.m Tuesday to Thursday, 11 a.m to 8 p.m on Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m to 5 p.m on Sunday. They are closed on Mondays. 

While you can pop in to buy a custom bouquet this spring, Adam’s Flora also supplies flowers for a variety of occasions. They can be purchased online for delivery via Uber Eats.  

More information about the store, their hours and the plants they have in stock can be found on their Instagram. 

Flower Crown: 

Located at 33 Lakeshore Road #23, Flower Crown is an eclectic, locally owned flower shop with a whole lot of heart. Specializing in flower arrangements and bouquets, Flower Crown is still finding its footing in the Niagara Region as it is a rather new business. Open six out of seven days aweek, the store operates from 9:30 a.m to 5 p.m on Monday and 9:30 a.m to 6 p.m Tuesday to Saturday. They are closed on Sundays. 

For a personally customized bouquet or floral arrangement, it is better to visit Flower Crown in person, although a more standardized version of both can be purchased online and delivered using Uber Eats.  

More information about their catalogue can be found on their website 

Vine Floral: 

Located at 387 Ontario Street, Vine Floral is a more traditional flower shop which claims to be “Niagara’s leader in fresh and artificial flowers since 1972.” Unlike the first two shops on this list, Vine Floral is now owned by a larger corporation, “Forest of Flowers,” which allows them to provide faster delivery times while maintaining the same attention to detail. Open six out of seven days of the week, Vine Floral operates from 9 a.m to 5 p.m Monday to Thursday, as well as Saturday and 11 a.m to 5 p.m on Friday.  

Vine Floral hosts both in-store and online shopping, providing for the various needs of different groups of people. Their website makes it easy to select the kinds of flowers you need for whatever occasion you need them for, boasting same-day delivery if the order is placed before a certain time.  

More information about their hours and their products can be found on their website.  

The Watering Can Flower Market: 

Located at 18 James Street, The Watering Can Flower Market is a smaller location that is tied to the bigger Watering Can Flower Market in Vineland. By far the most diverse shop on the list, this flower market provides walk-in customers with the most variety. Open six out of seven days of the week, The Watering Can Flower Market operates from 9 a.m to 5 p.m Monday to Saturday.  

The Watering Can Flower Market is one of Niagara’s many success stories. As a family-run business, this shop doesn’t sacrifice heart just to provide quick and effective service. Like Vine Floral, The Watering Can provides same-day delivery if orders are placed before a certain time. Furthermore, they are providing the option to place an online order via their website.  

More information about their hours and their vast variety of flowers and plants can be found on their website
