My favorite thing to do at Winston’s is to browse the weekly selects, such as these green viburnum, plum calla lilies, petal pink hyacinths, and fuchsia anemones, which are available for Valentine’s Day, and create my own arrangement. This week, visiting Winston Flowers and Garden’s flagship store in Chestnut Hill, MA, I was treated to an inside glimpse of how Boston’s premier florist gets ready for Valentine’s Day.Ībove: For me, entering any of the seven Winston locations around the Boston area is a bit like stepping into a fantasy world where radiant blooms and vibrant greens never cease to inspire. Their commitment to the entire process–from the small farmers who grow their plants and flowers to the customer who places them in their garden or home–is why Winston Flowers and Garden has always been one of my favorites. Today, despite the company’s overwhelming success, David and Ted Winston have never lost touch with their grandfather’s vision. Since their first days wheeling flowers up and down Boston’s fashionable Newbury Street in 1944, Robert Winston and his son, Maynard, cultivated a business based on rare and exquisite blooms as well as individualized customer service.
