flowering plants and a line of Johnny’s Selected Seeds to get everybody’s garden going. The greenhouse remains busy and blooming through the summer months providing the store with fresh zinnias, snapdragons and more to be cut and used in floral arrangements. Wedding season, class reunions and family gatherings continue to keep the shop busy June through August. In the fall, school is back in session and many clubs and organizations start again in earnest. In November Noyes Flower and Plant Shoppe kicks off the holiday season by hosting its annual open house. This tradition began with the Hutchinson family in 1950 and continues to this day. Every year the store delights the young, and the young at heart, with its antique animated display, dazzling Christmas trees and warm apple cider. The winter season remains busy with orders for Christmas wreaths and centerpieces, and of course February is buzzing with activity with the arrival of Valentine’s Day. Noyes Flower and Plant Shoppe has long been affiliated with both FTD and Teleflora and is also a member of the Maine State Florist and Growers Association and the Society of American Florists. Whether you’re planting a garden, sending a bouquet to a loved one or planning an event, the knowledgeable staff is always on hand to give you expert advice. Noyes Flower and Plant Shop is open Monday through Friday 8-5 and Saturday 8-5. Call us at 498-2296 or find us on the web at www.noyesflowers.com and www.facebook.com/NoyesFlowers. SUMMER 2012 63
