Artistry in Flowers

Stand at the corner of Cleveland and North in Olympia and you will find Flora, the Flower Lady, a statue who has kept watch outside the shop since 1988 and gets redressed as the seasons turn. Locals navigate by her. She belongs to Artistry in Flowers, a full service florist covering Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater.

The house style is French Country, and the work runs from contemporary and high style arrangements to silk and dried designs, dish and European gardens, tropical plants, wedding flowers and funeral tributes. There are Color Cubes and Keepsake Designs on the shelf, a flower subscription for people who would rather not have to remember, and gourmet and fruit baskets for the occasions flowers do not quite cover.

One unexpected line: they stock Weiks wild bird seed, which is not something most florists carry. Same day delivery costs nothing extra across the core Thurston County towns.
