Q. What products or services do you offer?

A. Kara Leidholt: We offer fresh floral arrangements, green and blooming plants, silk or dried floral arrangements, funeral and wedding designs, gourmet and gift baskets, home decor and over 40 varieties of fresh, homemade fudge.

Q. Do you have a specialty?

A. We strive to provide only the freshest flowers and plants available, while maintaining a wide variety. We also pride ourselves on the fresh, homemade fudge which is made with real cream and butter right here in our store.

Q. How are you connected with Parkview Nursery?

A. Darin and Jessie Latt also own Parkview Nursery. We find the businesses make a great fit as we are also able to offer a wide variety of outdoor plants and hanging baskets during the spring and summer months.

Q. How many employees do you have?

A. Nine. 

Q. What are you most proud of?

A. We are a family owned florist specializing in flowers and green plants. It's easy to lose your identity with so many other products available, but the Boston Fern has built a reputation for itself. We strive to uphold that reputation with our floral selection and expertise.

Q. What's new at your place?

A. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, we have lots of  fresh flowers arriving daily in anticipation of the holiday. We also have new spring decor in and new lines arriving within the next couple of weeks.

Q. What's the best business advice you ever received?

A. Great customer service will get you a long way. We understand it is our customer base that keeps our doors open. Therefore, our staff is committed to offering unique floral design and unparalleled customer service.

Q. Goals for the future?

A. Design trends are always changing, so our goal is to provide our customers with only the most up-to-date and most unique floral designs for every occasion.
