• Does Smiths Flowers offer special orders?

Yes, Smiths Flowers does offer "special" ordering services.  If there is a particular flower or plant that you would like for a special event, just contact us and we will do what ever we can to help you obtain the item,  or flower type you need.

• Do you deliver to Bay City and Saginaw?

Smiths Flowers does not deliver directly to Bay City and Saginaw.  There are some very good florists in both cities, and due to the expense of delivery we can not offer this service.  However, if you have a need for flower delivery in either city, call us and we'll give you the number of a servicing florist.  Just be sure to tell them "Smiths sent me".

• Does Smiths offer discounts to civic and non-profit groups?

Smiths Flowers makes every attempt to work with various groups, civic organizations and non-profits to offer them discounts on bulk purchases of fresh flowers and even plants.  Many groups each year use this service to obtain items to be used for fund raising events, carnivals and more.

These discounts apply to "bulk purchases" only.  Bulk purchases are defined as box lots of flowers and plants that require no labor on our part.  In some instances we will process the product, and prepare it for your use.

• Why is Smiths not open on Sunday?

Sunday is the Lord's day.  A day of rest, and time to be spent with family and friends.

We all work very hard Monday thru Saturday and need time to recoup our energies.  Like you we too need time to be with our families and at home.  Several years ago the decission was made to get back to basics, back to what truly mattered and that's family.  It's not all about money and making a dime, sometimes you just have to step back and figure out what is really important.

We would all be glad to service your needs Monday through Saturday, 52 weeks a year.

• Does Smiths recycle vases and containers?

Yes we do!  Many people have closets or boxes full of vases they have collected over the years, and we'd be more than happy to recycle them for you.  No need to wash them, just box them up and drop them by the store, and we'll keep them out of the land fill.

Sorry, no milk glass please.
