Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver?
We deliver to most zip codes in Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, and Ponte Vedra using a courier service. Delivery fee varies by zip code. Call the shop for a delivery quote.
How are your arrangements different from other flower bouquets?
Instead of using fresh cut flowers, we create our gardens with live plants in soil. We use a mix of blooming flowers, like begonias and kalanchoes, and greenery like maidenhair fern and ivy. These gardens last for approximately 3-6 weeks if cared for correctly, and provide a unique alternative to fresh cuts. Some plants can even be planted out into your garden to enjoy for years to come!
How do I know what to order?
Our most popular products are our Planted Living Arrangements and Orchid Arrangements. Exact plants used in arrangements vary seasonally, as we only send out the best quality of plants. Give us a call at 904-388-2060 and our designers will help guide you to an order that fits your desired style, maintenance level, and price point.
Every arrangement is designed by our in house designers and no two are exactly alike. Find a unique look that expresses your style through color, container and ribbon choice. With creative options for every occasion, there's limitless options with Anita's!
How do I take care of my Living Arrangement or Orchid?
You can keep your garden looking fresh and healthy by spot checking the soil for water every day. Simply stick your finger down in the soil and feel the moisture level. If soil is dry, it’s safe to give each plant a little bit of water. (Don't worry, we carefully line each arrangement so it won't leak.) After 3-6 weeks your arrangement will be done blooming and you may choose to plant the individual plants in your yard.
Orchids require slightly different care. Let orchids remain dry in between waterings, and check every 7-10 days.
Take extra care not to water excessively, as we use a liner in all of our containers which means there are no drainage holes. Soil should be moist in between watering, not wet, and allowed to dry slightly before watering. Consistent, light watering is usually best but remember plants also need good air circulation and at least some bright, filtered light to live happy lives indoors!
Do you also make wreaths?
We always have plenty of seasonal and everyday wreaths made up in store for you to choose from, or one of our designers can help you customize your own! We can mix and match our various bases of berries, leaves, and faux flowers as well as different ribbons to create a personalized wreath just for you. Call the shop at 904-388-2060 to discuss available options with a designer. Wreaths are available to ship for an additional charge.
