Where To Buy Valentine’s Day Flowers In & Around Park Slope
PARK SLOPE – Valentine’s Day is Wednesday. If you’re planning to surprise your Valentine with a beautiful bouquet of flowers but aren’t sure where to go, we’ve put together a list of shops in and around Park Slope where you can order in advance or pick up the day of.
While it’s nice to be able to walk into a brick-and-mortar store and smell the roses, the number of flower shops in the area are dwindling. After 18 years, Blooms on 5th closed at the end of January, Brooklyn Paper reported.
Our list includes florists as well as corner stores and delis with impressive floral sections to cover all price ranges as well as last minute purchases.
