Urban Gardener

I’ve received a few birthday bouquets that were designed by Urban Gardener and wow… they were absolutely stunning! Fantastic quality of blooms– I always catch myself taking dozens of Instagrams & cannot stop gazing at them. Plus, they’re super fragrant!

Urban G was terrrific =- they did the florals for my wedding and they were so amazing. I was more than thrilled with their work. Highly recommended.

Talk to the employees, he’s really friendly and helpful! I was waiting for my hair appointment, and I’ve never been here during the day time to get my hair done. Seen this little place tucked in the corner, with the most inviting entrance.
This place doesn’t only have flowers, but a nice eclectic collection of coffee table books, candles, defusers, and several other odds and ends, including some nice handmade jewelry.
like I said before the gentleman that was there that evening was very friendly, and shared some helpful hints on how to get the most out of my candle.
because of this I will return when I am in need of a lovely bouqet.

I was just looking though my wedding pictures from last March and decided it was time to give credit where credit is due. The urban gardener was a preferred vendor for our venue at the muckenthaler but I had seen the adorable shop front before while eating/​waiting in line at haute cakes. Tiffany was so flexible with my visions and revisions that it made my life easy. I think it’s true that she can work with almost any budget. The florals were absolutely gorgeous, even better than I imagined. I loved my bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, bouteineers, and centerpieces! I even added on flowers of the cake at the last minute because I couldn’t find the «perfect» cake topper and they were beautiful. Maybe someday I’ll quit my job and apply here. Thank you thank you for being the easiest vendor we worked with :) XOXO Jenny & Dan

The only reason I’m giving 4 and not 5 stars was the time it took for Tiffany to get back to me for certain things. Other than that, our wedding flowers were absolutely gorgeous! We had our wedding on 9÷10÷11, which was a very busy day. I told her exactly what I wanted and she did it exactly. They brought the flowers to our hotel, everything was perfect at the ceremony and reception was flawless. I would definitely recommend Urban Gardener and their shop is super cute!

Urban Gardener did the flowers for my wedding at a church in Santa Ana and a reception at the Muckenthaler. Tiffany did an amazing job bringing my vision to life and the day of the wedding everything was handled perfectly. Tiffany was even able to find stone-​looking holders for the flowers at the guest tables which looked elegant and rustic at the same time. They were so much nicer then just glass! And the large arrangements at the ceremony were absolutely stunning!
I also had no trouble getting a hold of Tiffany or anyone at the shop — my questions were always responded to thoroughly and promptly. I would not hesitate to work with them again.

I recently had to send some flowers for a friend’s birthday. The minimum was about $ 50, but with $ 12 additional for delivery ($ 62 total). We talked about the arrangement and I had to cross my fingers and hope for the best – that it would come out great for $ 62. Just in case, I added about $ 10 more so the flowers would be extra nice, which the florist told me it would most definitely be. She assured me there was no filler, which I thought was great! My friend got them in good time – just about 2 – 3 hours – so the florist was responsive. However, the bouquet was underwhelming for $ 77.25 including tax and delivery. Compared to my other experiences with florists, in arrangement and quality/​quantity of arrangement, I’d say this should have been 50 – 60 (at most) including tax/​delivery. My friend was shocked to hear how much I had spent. And I was very disappointed as well once I saw the pics, and then the bouquet myself. I wish I could post the pic – but it was primarily two delicate and beautiful peonies, one hydrangea, and a few more flowers.

Urban Gardener was the florist I chose for my wedding flowers at the Muckenthaler. I found them b/​c they are on the preferred vendor list. Although it was tough to get Tiffany on the phone to work out the specific details of what I wanted, in the end, I was thrilled with her work.
Cons: Not as responsive as I would have hoped. It took months to get a contract signed because they don’t use email and their fax machine would break down.
Pros: Beautiful work which drew many comments from my guests. My flowers were one of the highlights of my wedding.
I paid a not-​insignificant amount for my flowers, and I am thrilled with what they gave me.

I’ve dealt with florists in lots of cities and I know that ordering over the phone for delivery (especially on short notice) can be hit or miss. But since Mama Marie (B. of Chicago) has an interview in LA tomorrow and is staying in Newport Beach, I quickly searched for a reliable local florist. I decided to take a chance that the 2 five star reviews were accurate and called up Urban Gardener.
The woman who answered the phone easily took my order and let know their delivery minimum ($ 50) and fees/​taxes. All of this was quite reasonable, considering that 1800Flowers or Proflowers would cost about the same and I’d be at the mercy of FedEx and UPS to actually deliver. She asked if there was a specific color I wanted (pink — inside joke). Took my credit card info and that was that. Now — had I not been mildly (or a little more than mildly) hungover, I probably would have demanded more details — like what flowers, etc. But I left it at that.
I just got off the phone with Mama Marie and the flowers are beautiful. I’ve been emailed a picture and even the grainy picture taken by her blackberry shows that this was a very classy and cute arrangement. They’re peonies and roses and I know I couldn’t have picked out anything better had I actually picked it out.
I wish I had to do more business down in LA — being able to trust someone to be this professional to send your love and happy thoughts is difficult. Urban Gardener has definitely earned my trust… and that’s staying LOTS

This little shoppe is tucked in the corner behind Haute Cakes Café. It has been there forever and it never disappoints. Gift items abound… but none of that cutesy teddy bear stuff. Old apothecary jars, unique holiday decorations and small good candles & soaps. But what I really love are the flowers, not many are out on display but tell the gal what you want and she will put it together. Lovely, compact arrangements in vintage colors. Not a sprig of baby’s breath!
Can be more $$$ than your typical shop but well worth it!
