Friendly staff and good plant selection. They were able to recommend a plant for low light and helped compare lighting requirements for different plants. Even packaged one of them up really nice with tissue paper and a sticker, when I mentioned it was going to be a gift for a friend. I took home a little fiddle leaf fig and a golden pothos with nice ceramic cover pots for each.

Absolutely loved the flowers that were provided for our wedding!! I emailed with a few inspiration photos and they put together something even better than I had anticipated with the perfect size and arrangement! We had efficient email exchanges and they were well organized. I feel lucky that we stumbled upon your shop for our wedding day.. thank you!

The BEST place to purchases plants from locally! I walk by Scrim’s everyday and the plants in their window are always so full and beautiful. I decided to take the plunge and purchase 3 new plants and two pots for my jungle. The plants were so FULL and even had a bunch of new baby leaves getting ready. I was very surprised for the price of the plants how full they were. I will definitely be back soon to purchase more plants!!

I am a fan of Scrim's Florist. They have lovely bouquets for mother's day and valentine's day--absolutely beautiful. But what keeps me going back is the house plants. Every plant I've gotten at Scrim's has been beautiful and done really well. I wouldn't really say I have a green thumb, nor am I death to all houseplants--and the staff at Scrim's has always been really knowledgeable and helped me choose plants that are not toxic for my plant-chewing cat and that are pretty easy for me to care for (and therefore won't die on me). The plants have always been

My boyfriend surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my university graduation. My bouquet is so stunning not only made all of my pictures that much better, but I'll get to enjoy them on my kitchen table for days to come. I will definitely return the next time I need an arrangement or bouquet!

A lovely, accommodating place! I found out one afternoon that I was to attend a supper at a family friend's place, and was in a pinch to bring a hostess gift. Popped into Scrimm's, explained what was up, gave them a budget and they prepared me a sweet bouquet to bring along. It took 10 minutes, and I looked like a super star at the supper.
I know nothing about flowers, and the staff were non-judgemental about that. They were kind, the flowers were beautiful, and I feel like I got a great product for what I paid.
If I need flowers again I'll be hitting up Scrimm's for sure

On Halloween, my husband and I went in to Scrim's Florist. As a last-minute decision, we had decided to add corsages to add to our "Joker and Harley Quinn's Prom" theme. We were greeted by a florist resplendent in purple wizard robes. While it was near closing (around 4 and they close at 5 on Saturdays), "The Wizard" was extremely helpful and quickly whisked us up into the corsage making business. He asked us what our costumes were and when we dropped the DC comic character names, he was drawing a blank (maybe he's more of a Marvel fan ;)). We offered instead

If you need a florist, you need to come here. I originally stopped by for help with some plants that I inherited when I got a new office. I don't know much about plants but I thought these plants looked sickly. I took some pictures and sought advice. I was very happy that the staff took the time to help me without trying to sell me anything.
I decided to go back a few weeks later to buy some flowers for my significant other and was happy with their service and selection. Their prices were also very reasonable.
Scrim's also has a good selection of pots if you are looking to replant!
