Since studying horticulture in high school and college I have been in all aspects of the business from flower shops, garden centers and greenhouses. After working for many different companies I started on my own doing wedding flowers and interior plantscaping for commercial properties.
Now my business is mostly wedding flowers but I also teach floral and gardening classes at area libraries, garden clubs, church groups and senior centers.

Peggy went above and beyond with her work for my wedding this past June. We had a very long in depth consultation call where she helped us pick out exactly what was going into each...
bouquet. She pieced all the random flowers that I liked together in such a seamless and beautiful way.
Day of, Peggy was on time, professional, and even whipped up a boutonniere on the spot after I got the count wrong for the men.
She stayed to repurpose ceremony flowers into the reception hall to help stay within my budget, but you could never tell those flowers weren’t custom made just for the reception. They looked gorgeous both outside for the ceremony and inside the reception hall.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Peggy for any event needing florals. She truly made the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen.

I was so impressed on her knowledge of florals! She also showed me examples of the flowers she would use to put together my bouquet.
We looked for florists all across the Chicagoland area, and the value that you get from Peggy was the best we could find!
She also stayed at our venue throughout the wedding day and helped our wedding party and parents with their corsages/boutonnières, florals for our cake, moving florals from our arch to the sweetheart table, decorating the hanging wreath for our venue, etc.
Peggy was so kind! We highly recommend her for your wedding!! :)

nterest and Peggy made my dreams come true! Her attention to detail and artistic touch were exceptional and the colors in the flowers popped in all the photos we took. She delivered the flowers early and they were even prettier than I could have imagined! The flowers I received more than exceeded my expectations. I feel like I got top quality flowers for a reasonable price and my bridal bouquet lasted for weeks after the wedding and I was able to get them preserved after I got back from the honeymoon. I highly recommend Garvin Gardens for all your floral needs. I look forward to working with Peggy again in the future for her lovely flowers. My heartfelt thanks to Peggy for turning our day into an unforgettable fairytale!

. Peggy had both a better price and better-looking flowers than other florists I found in the area. Our guests were fighting over who got to take home centerpieces at the end of the night because they were so beautiful. She also had arches for rent which was convenient and less expensive than renting elsewhere. I would highly suggest using Garvin Garden for your event or wedding.

was the one to go with. She's an independent business which kept things low cost and simple. She also was very familiar with our venue and the staff which made things go SO smoothly. We spoke on the phone once or twice, but a few months before the wedding I had a slight panic (since I know next to nothing about florals) and Peggy agreed to meet with me in person to really go over the overall look and feel. Everything was perfect the day of, she delivered exactly what we envisioned. She was at the venue for a few hours to do the changeover from ceremony to reception repurposed a lot of the florals (at her suggestion). I'd 100% recommend Peggy!

Got my flowers for my wedding through Peggy at Garvin Gardens. I had a signed contract that stated I, the bride, was to get a cascade bouquet. Unfortunately, my bouquet was no diff...
erent than my bridesmaids flowers. Well, the only difference was that mine had white fabric wrapped around the based of the followers while theirs was the color of their dresses. I literally started crying on my wedding day right before walking down the aisle because I didn't get what I ordered. I even called to confirm everything the week of the wedding. What upset me the most was that Peggy putted out what she claimed to be our contract with the brides flowers listed as a regular bouquet, and I pulled up my email with the signed contract right there to show her she must have fudged a non-signed contract ahead of time because she had to know that she wasn't able to provide me with what was ordered. The flowers themselves looked nice just not what I ordered or paid for. I would NOT use Peggy at Garvin Gardens unless you want part of your wedding day ruined.
Response from Garvin Gardens on 04/08/2022
So sorry for the miscommunication with the style of your bridal bouquet. As I remember yo...
u had changed the natural style bouquet to a natural style cascading bouquet a couple weeks prior to the day. I must of pulled up the orginal order when preparing your flowers. I am really sorry as I had expressed the day of. Your bouquet was larger and had all the fresh flowers promised to you. It was larger than the bridesmaids bouquets with more flowers as well.
Again, I am so sorry for causing you to be upset on your special day.
I have been a bridal florist for 37 years and this is the first time I have had a issue.
Good luck and best wishes to you and Alexander.
