Review of Flowerwood

My mom and I used to go here all of the time when I was younger before the place was sold and they always had such a great verity of items. Lovely and unique gifts that you can't find anywhere else. Beautiful Christmas displays with trees in almost every room filled with lovely ornaments. A great layout that kept the place from getting too cluttered with people when it was busy. An outdoor green house. Large indoor green houses. They even placed orders for people who needed to send flowers out of state. My godmother had called them up to ask for a flower arrangement to be sent to one of her former riding students who had won a championship in college, and Flowerwood sent the order to a florist closer to the college and they didn't disappoint as the student was greeted with a large horseshoe in the shape of flowers. Since it went under new ownership, my mom and I only went 2 or 3 times before the building was changed and things seemed to go under fast! Whenever I drive by, it makes me so sad to see that the new owner did this to this lovely place. I've heard that the roofs on the green houses were starting to cave in and that's scary since people need to go in there in order to get their flowers. Very dangerous! I feel really bad for the people that have worked there and had to go through all of this. Maybe someone else will take over the place and turn it back into the place that it used to be back in its heyday.

Also, if my last name looks familiar, yes, I am related to one of the pervious owners and he's not the reason this place was turned over to the current owner. He had warned his business partner about selling to this person and he didn't take his advice.
