Austin Flower Co. is celebrating 30 years of bringing specialty cut flowers, houseplants and greenery to Austin. The business commemorated the anniversary with a celebration on Aug. 26.
The backstory
The flower shop, led by owner Thomas Gay, was founded in 1996 by seasoned floral industry professionals. The founders hoped to offer the freshest florals directly to customers at a reasonable price.
What they offer
Austin Flower Co. stocks basic, strange and rare flowers, as well as plants and greens, according to its website. The business has over 250 different products on a daily basis that are delivered daily from around the world. Customers can find picks from local farmers, as well as from destinations like Peru, Chile, France, New Zealand, Australia and Italy.
The flower business offers retail products to locals, as well as wholesale inventory for local flower shops and wedding or special event artists.
The celebration
Austin Flower Co. hosted a 30th anniversary celebration featuring free burgers and fries from P. Terry’s and free ice cream from Amy’s. The party also included flower giveaways and doubled as a birthday celebration for Gay.
