Atwood Florist

If the date is not already circled on your calendar, then now is the time to mark it in red - Mother's Day is May 12th. Mother's Day is a day when we honor our mothers and recognize all they have done for us. It has been said of mothers: "God could not be everywhere, therefore he made mothers." [David C. Cross] There is no better way to express our love and gratitude for our mothers than with the gift of flowers - whether with a beautiful, customized arrangement or with a living plant. Flowers bring joy and celebration - and the deepest sentiments of our hearts.

Hearts and flowers have been on the mind of John Dick a lot lately! John Dick, a 22-year floral designer and owner of Atwood Florist, recently underwent major surgery to actually remove a small part of his heart. Now, John's heart is beating stronger than ever - in fact, his close friends and family claim he came home with twice the heart! As his faithful and talented friends Theodora "Teddy" DelPonte (of Floral Designs by Teddy in North Providence) and Michael Murray will attest - "Everybody just loves John". These friends managed Atwood Florist in John's absence, and for this, he is deeply grateful.

Now that John is going strong, he is ready to prepare a floral arrangement for your Mother's Day gift or next special occasion! Whether you want something for the special mother (or mother-figure) in your life or are holding a milestone Christening ceremony, getting gussied up for a prom, throwing a shower or just sending a thoughtful gesture of love - then John at Atwood Florist is your "go-to" guy in Johnston. In fact, for only a $25.00 minimum, John will deliver anywhere in the state.

Along with Mother's Day, loved ones are often gathered at this time of year for joyous weddings! Atwood Florist is your "wedding destination" for invitations, corsages/bouquets for the wedding party, and arrangements for the church and reception site. Sadly, there are also times of sorrow and loss in life that mandate a personal floral bouquet or casket spray. Atwood Florist will make an unforgettable arrangement for these occasions as well.

If you just want to give that special someone in your life a reminder of your thoughts or thanks, then why not pick up a "Love Bunch"? Available for only $5.00, these small bouquets of flowers are a perfect token of love. You will also find plenty of plants as well as custom-made gourmet baskets here.
