I ordered a floral arrangement as an Easter gift for friends, and was very pleased. I had made my selection from the website and the end result was more even more generous and lovely than expected. I would highly recommend Janice's Grower Direct.

I just stopped to buy a dozen blue roses for my loving wife coming home today after 10 days travelling. Janice had only 7 of the blues roses left but added 5 more yellow roses and baby breath to make up a nice bouquet. She charged me the $29.95 for a regular dozen. (blue roses are 5 dollars each)
Gentlemen, roses are all about getting Lucky and keeping your significant other happy. Go buy some roses at Growers Direct!!! Thanks again Janice.Listed in: 5 Star - The WOW Factor

I had a TERRIBLE experience here and have never written a review but I feel the need to share my thoughts. I bought a coupon for this flower shop on deal find. It was $25 for an $80 flowers. Seeing that it was mothers day I thought it would be a great gift even though the shop was on the other end of the city. I had called prior to mothers day to make sure I could use the coupon and make an arrangement there. They confirmed I could use it starting may 5 2011. On may 7 the day before mothers day I drove all the way down to get the flowers. When I arrived there was little selection to choose from so I asked if I could pick some flowers for the arrangement and that I had the coupon. They replied they didn't expect so many coupons to be sold and they didnt have enough flowers to honor the coupons. Having drove all the way down there and that I had bought the coupon for mothers day I was extremely pissed off. As a business person you would think you would put out the coupons to eliminate some of the competition. She was not prepared for the business which is really unprofessional and VERY un ethical to not accept the coupons when there was nothing on the coupons stating that we can't use them for the mothers day weekend. She said I could buy flowers with a little discount but can't use my coupon until Monday. I did not want to drive down there again and monday is to late for mothers day. Nor did I want to support this business. This act makes deal find look bad because their customers are not accepting their coupons because it is inconvenient for them and she would rather receive the full price on her flowers. Maybe a trick to get people in her shop. This also makes the franchise growers direct look bad because when one store displays such bad business and ethics the social media can kill the reputation of all the growers direct. I will never support this store. I went to Safeway for flowers and they had lots of flowers to choose from. Happy mothers day.

They were not ready to set themselves up for the deal find vouchers. I ordered an arrangement based on their own website. It was nothing like the picture and was probably worth $20, not the $80 the voucher was for. I challenged them and they changed out the vase and added more flowers. If I hadn't said anything, they would have gotten away with ripping me off. Their actions makes deal find look bad and they complained the whole time I was in there about deal find. That's not professional. I will never go back since there is no way I would pay $80 for the arrangement they finally sent me home with. They also told me the voucher I bought as a gift will not be honoured since it doesn't say gift on it. Deal find only has my name on both vouchers so whoever tries to use it won't be allowed and neither can I since I already redeemed one. Yeesh, get it together ladies. You made a very poor business decision and you have a big hole to crawl out of. I sure won't be helping you out.
