Same-Day & Express Flower Delivery In Maricopa County
In 1927 Grandma Irene Watson first started selling flowers out of her home. Many of the flowers she sold were grown by her, in her own garden. Once she realized that people really love her product, she began purchasing rose bushes. She purchased more than 5,000 plants for her garden. With all those roses bushes, she was able to begin going door to door, selling the roses for $0.25 each.
With the profit she made from selling these rose bushes, she and her husband, Charles, purchased an 18 acre farm. The property was located on a road connecting downtown Tempe and downtown Mesa. Now that they had the farm, Charles and Irene were positioned to grow flowers, their business, right along with a big family. The residents in Mesa knew Irene very well. Many often referred to her as “The Rose Lady.”
Management of Watson’s Florist & Flower Delivery has now passed to grandsons, Nathan and Jacob. This new generation of Johnson’s is proudly upholding the family tradition of growing and selling the longest lasting, highest quality flowers in the area. They have maintained pricing at the most reasonable levels possible. Great products, sold for affordable prices, along with incredible customer service, has allowed them to build the business into one of the premier floral design firms in Maricopa County. The main floral design center is still located on the original acre of land purchased by Great grandma Irene Watson in 1931. Watson’s Flowers operates three flower shop locations today. They are positioned in Gilbert, Mesa and Tempe.

You Will Be Delighted with the Gorgeous Flower Arrangements our Professional Floral Designers Create!
Watson's Flowers One major responsibility of Professional Floral Designers is to ensure their customer's events are a big success. Whether it is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, they will set up the best floral design to compliment your vision and budget. Our team of compassionate and detail minded designers use fresh farm grown flowers and their creative skills to produce the most stunning flower arrangements in the industry. Special Discount Offers for Our Blog Visitors Floral Design Floral design is a creative art form that uses floral materials to produce artistic designs. Floral designers use a variety of mediums, including fresh and dried flowers, foliage, fruits and vegetables as well as other products such as bamboo stalks, grasses or feathers. They often work with an arranger or florist to create finished pieces for customers in the wedding industry or for retail sale at florists' shops. Floral design can be used in the making of floral arrangements (such as bouquets), corsages/boutonnieres and other creations such as wreaths or centerpieces. The term "floral designer" may also refer more specifically to people who create custom-made wedding bouquets on behalf of clients who are getting married at their own homes rather than having them done professionally by a florist. A person who designs floral arrangements but does not work with live plants (i.e., someone who uses only dried materials) would not normally be considered a "florist". Floral designers are often trained at trade schools or colleges and may be certified by the American Institute of Floral Designers. Floral designers can also be involved with the design of floral decorations for interiors, such as furniture or walls. Floral design is often used in wedding planning as well as other types of celebrations such as birthday parties and anniversaries. Floral Design Skills Floral designer skills are varied, and they can be broken down into five categories: creative, technical, organizational, business and interpersonal. The most important of these is creativity; floral designers must have a natural talent for designing flowers and plants to create beautiful arrangements. They also need to have excellent taste in color schemes and textures so that their designs look attractive from every angle. They must be able to visualize a finished product before starting work on it--and if something doesn't turn out right during construction (which happens often), they must know how to fix it quickly. Interpersonal skills are important because floral designers often work directly with customers on their projects; this means having patience when explaining what goes into making certain types of arrangements or why certain elements won't work together well visually. Floral artists also need good communication skills so they can relay instructions clearly when working with other employees such as florists or delivery drivers who may not understand exactly what type of arrangement needs delivering where without some guidance! Floral designers are also responsible for keeping their own work areas clean and organized so [...]

Shop Here for Gorgeous All Occasion Flower Bouquets Including Yom Kippur
Watson's Flowers Our Floral Designers have created the most caring and beautiful flower arrangements that are perfect Yom Kippur Flowers. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year in Judaism and is a day of fasting and reflection. Celebrations are held after sunset at sundown (6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time). While you might not be able to attend these celebrations in person, you can send religious gifts or flowers to someone who is observing Yom Kippur from afar—or even deliver them yourself if you are traveling! Special Discount Offers for Our Blog Visitors What is Yom Kippur? Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for Jews. It is a day of fasting and atonement, prayer, reflection and forgiveness. The name Yom Kippur means "Day of Atonement" in Hebrew; it's also known as the "Sabbath of Sabbaths." Yom Kippur begins at sundown on October 9th this year (2019) and ends after sunset on October 11th with Rosh Hashanah beginning shortly thereafter. In addition to fasting from food and drink (except water), observant Jews also abstain from wearing leather shoes or engaging in sexual relations during this period. The Jewish day begins at sundown and ends a full 24 hours later at sundown. The day is divided into two 12-hour periods, or "watches," with each watch corresponding to one half of the day. The first watch begins at sundown and ends at midnight. The second watch begins at midnight and ends at midday on the following day. Jews typically sleep during the first watch and then pray in the synagogue during the second watch. One of the most important aspects of Yom Kippur is atonement. It is a day devoted entirely to focused prayer and repentance for sins committed throughout the year. According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes everyone's name in an "account book," on Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year). The account book is sealed on Rosh Hashanah and opened on Yom Kippur; those whose names are written therein will be spared from divine judgment during the coming year. History of Yom Kippur Yom Kippur is a Jewish holiday that occurs on the tenth day of Tishri, the seventh month in the Hebrew calendar. It marks the end of Yom Teruah (the Day of Trumpets) and is considered to be the holiest day in Judaism, second only to Shabbat. On this day, jews fast from sunrise until sunset, engage in prayer and repentance for their sins throughout history and seek forgiveness from God so they can be reconciled with him before Rosh Hashanah begins on October 1st. It is customary for Jews to ask forgiveness from one another, and it is also common to exchange gifts at this time. This holiday serves as a cleansing of the soul and a preparation for the new year ahead. Kippur is also known as Yom HaKippurim (Day of Atonement) and Tish B’Av. In Hebrew, the word “Kippur” means [...]

Chrysanthemums Chrysanthemums are a traditional flower for Labor Day. They are also the official flower of Hawaii, where they are traditionally used in leis and as part of a celebration called "Aloha Week."
