Flowers By Giorgie

I would think twice, or three times, before ordering from this place! The owner himself is a very nasty person and I had a nasty encounter with him so if he talks to people like that, don’t expect people below him to be any nicer to you. FYI, this store has been in this area for a WHILE, and I have gone in several times and they are NOT friendly. Nor are their prices reasonable. instead there’s a nicer flower shop on queens blvd and 41^st next to the dollar store, the side across from CVS… those people are NICE! Regardless, my experience with this shop was terrible they attempt to deliver during the very last hour that’s the cut off for residency deliveries so the special day is practically over. I would never ever return back to this shop and if I ever order from an online service and find out this shop picked up my order i will definitely be calling them to request another florist because the owner was just so rude. Very, very unprofessional! Maybe now next time he will think twice about screaming at a customer and saying nasty stuff because people can leave your shop bad reviews!!! And Giorgie, you very well earned this low feedback!

What sweet ppl work here! I feel horrible that I didn’t get the name of the person who helped me but he was amazing today! I bought some flowers to lay on my dad’s burial plot and after I left Flowers by Giorgie, I thought that perhaps they overcharged me, in error (I didn’t get the receipt). I was already on the LIE headed towards Long Island so I thought I’d stop by later in the day to ask them about the pricing. Hours later, the same nice guy was working there and he listened to my concerns, explained the prices of the flowers (I thought a $ 15 bouquet was really $ 5 — that was my error) and even gave me a free arrangement (one of the $ 15 bouquets that I made a mistake on) when I didn’t even ask for it! I was in awe with his kindness. You don’t find too many ppl like those who work at Flowers by Giorgie! Highly recommend this super friendly neighborhood flowershop.

Came in looking for a pineapple plant in pot as a gift. Employee showed me two plants that looked like a pineapple so I bought one. Turns out they were sago palms and poisonous if ingested… On top of that, they don’t allow returns or refunds, thanks Giorgio

We had Giorgie do the flowers for our wedding. He did the bouquets, flowers for the church and the centerpieces for the reception. Was exactly what we wanted and he worked within our budget. Only thing that I wish I could have changed was that the church flowers and bouquets were delivered to the groom’s home and I was in the church setting up the flowers an hour before the wedding. Please be clear what you want done and they will gladly do it. Flowers were fresh and exactly what we wanted

Great service. Super fast and made the most beautiful bouquet ever. Thank you David your awesome 10****

I placed an order here for orchids of different colors and asked to pick them up a couple days later. I also noted that I needed them for hair clips instead of an arrangement. I was given a hard time for buying different orchids that weren’t on the same stem at another florist, but without hesitation, Giorgie accommodated my needs. He also gave me care tips for another purchase I made there that day.
When I went to pick up my order, the shop was busy yet the owner managed to be helpful to each customer and gave honest advice to a customer in line before me. I watched him assemble a beautiful bouquet of about 2 dozen roses with a balloon for her for way less than I expected. When he brought my order over, my orchids were large, gorgeous, and neatly organized by color in sturdy packaging. Moreover, Giorgie had included just the right amount of stems needed for hair pinning on each flower.
I’m impressed by the owner’s customer service and will continue to come here for my floral purchases.

I used this florist last when he was located across the street from the current location and was very happy with the results. albeit the prices are a bit high but the quality was there
What the hell happened???
I thought it would be nice to send a dozen roses to my wife on valentines day from a real local florist less than a mile away since everyone usually sends pro flowers or some discount online source that send their products all boxed up… thought it would be nice for my wife to actually receive the flowers and see them straight away instead of unpacking them .first they couldn’t guarantee a delivery between 9 and 5 but they still arrived around 2 which was nice but I spent a total of 84 dollars on a vase full of short stemmed fruit stand roses that died in 3 days… total ripoff and huge disappointment
I referred them dozens of times over the years and have spent over a thousand bucks with them spanning about 8 years
They just lost a customer, I am not exaggerating either… the roses were short and the bouquet itself was really poor… I’ve bought quickie flowers at the fruit stand that were a quarter of the price and looked 5 times better as well as lasted 2 or 3 times as long… this place sucks now

They did my flower bouquet for my wedding last year and it was fabolous! I loved how it all turned out customed made even if it was already made at the last minute. The owner was really helpful and accommodating with our budget– we were able to have the package for my moms, my dads corsage and my son and my hubbys.-all in one reasonable price. Def a recommended shop for all ur flower needs.:)

Very helpful owner. I stopped in today to buy a bouquet for my niece’s recital. He was very helpful and patient with showing me the options. I’ve bought herbs here before and he gave me tips on how to take care of them. The flowers all look healthy and there are many options. I would highly recommend this flower shop for the quality of the flowers and helpful service.

I give this place a 1 star because you can’t give negative reviews.
So here’s my story.
My wife and I have 3 month old twins, and Mother’s Day 2013 was my wife’s first official Mother’s Day. I ordered flowers from Giorgie on the Wednesday before Mother’s Day, thinking this will be a great day and an awesome surprise for my wife. Mother’s Day morning. 7:55am to be exact, I get a call from David at Flowers by Giorgie, who unapologetically informs me that they have too many orders, so he won’t be able to get around to this today… Really?! You wait until Mother’s Day to call, with no apology! Oh and here were my options they could cancel my order or TRY to do it tomorrow, which by the way is not Mother’s Day!
F this A-​hole and his Mother, I wouldn’t Pee on this jackass if he was on fire!

He did flowers for my brothers funeral, they were absolutely beautiful. Genuine guy, will always go back!

I’ve been coming to this florist for my flower needs as long as I can remember. I think they moved a few years ago and were on the other side of the block. Anyways, the flowers are always fresh. The employees are friendly and accommodating.

Delivered on time and beautiful
Please order with them, they are great!

This is a great local florist. They have a large selection of flowers and houseplants including herbs. The staff is friendly.

I picked up some eucalyptus here a while back and always get dragged in by the smells.
Some of the nicest flowers around and they are open pretty late. Maybe if I get more room I will by some bigger plants but I don’t see that in the near future… Eucalyptus it is!!!

After picking out two roses out front on the sidewalk on busy Valentine’s day, I asked the attendant for water vessels to attach to the stem. He directed me inside where a man who I am assuming is Giorgie (the only white guy in a room full of short Mexicans. Sorry it’s true) informed me that it is probably cool enough outside where the flowers wouldn’t get damaged;but he would oblige if I wanted. Of course-​my friends would be indoors for the next couple of hours-​I didn’t want any chance for their flowers to get brown and yucky and die. After he put the first bottle into the stem, I noticed on the other flower that the plastic wrap surrounding the stem may make it difficult for the flower to absorb water. Brought this up to Giorgie, who didn’t think the plastic would be a problem but after noticing my disapproving face-​he courteously cut the plastic off. I mentioned the other flower. At this point, I wondered if he hated me and thought I was a basket-​case with OCD. I am, as a sensitive Pisces, hyper-​attuned to changes in micro facial expressions and body language that would suggest a bad attitude. Giorgie displayed none. He removed the bottle, cut off the plastic and reinserted the bottle again. After he rung me up and didn’t charge me extra for the bottles, guilt set in-​I couldn’t tell if I wanted to give gracious Giorgie a hug or a tip.
Anyway, aside from this experience I have purchased small potted flowers (looking at my pretty canary yellow flower right now) at an affordable price. Also, got my mom a x-​mas centerpiece, that resembled a wreath– unfortunately cheesy ornaments were attached (my mom likes that sort of stuff so it’s okay). Giorgie reminded me to hold the plant on the bottom, not by the handle attached to the lantern– always hold centerpieces on the bottom he offered. Oh that Giorgie, ever so thoughtful-​if he weren’t twice my age and very likely married, I would ask for his hand in marriage. My main caveat with the flower shop, aside from the cheesy over stock of heart bearing white teddy bears (but I understand, I too went to nearby JHS I.S. 125– they are popular with preteens who gift them), there isn’t much of a variety in the flower bunches that are sold. There is a convenience store in midtown with a greater variety of flowers-​and it’s not even a floral shop. Actually if it were not for good customer service, on account of this one flaw, I would have in all likelihood given Flowers by Giorgie only 3 stars.

Very nice store, pretty decent variety! The florist here seems quite creative, and also very knowledgable. He’ll engage you in conversation about taking care of orchids and names of flowers.
Very excellent service and pretty decent prices considering how high they are in Manhattan!

I stopped by Flowers by GIorgie on my way home from work one day to buy a succulent plant for my apartment. The staff there is very helpful and knowledgeable. They have a wide selection of plants, flowers and supplies for your gardening needs. I bought a ceramic pot to replace the plastic one that the succulent came with, and the staff did it for me. No mess in my apartment brings joy to my heart!
I’ll definitely be coming in here regularly!

The first time I walked into Giorgie’s — he told me how they stay open until midnight because «you never know when someone might fall in love and want to give flowers.» Sincere or not — i thought it was good.
In addition to knowing flowers/​plants, he’s so friendly and so is his staff. The best of all — you can get fantastic bouquets for reasonable prices… including one my boyfriend got me… I accidentally saw the receipt… but my reaction was ‘wow, that’s all he charged you?!”

Flowers by Giorgie — OR it should be called PLANT DOCTOR!!!
It must be said I DO NOT have a green thumb. but Giorgie (aka plant doctor) does! And he has been very patient with me and all my plant problems…
His store is beautiful, colorful, green and luscious.
He took care of my mother and I (we are not easy people) we have a lot of annoying questions and he answered us with ease.
I also noticed that he remembers peoples names for example: a women walked he said «Hi Karen I did your wedding flowers»…SEE!!!great rapport, good prices. Check it out!

I needed to pick up a simple bouquet of tulips today for an event I was helping run. Thanks to Alex S’s review (and the lack of tulips at the other 4 places I called) I decided to give this place a try. I called ahead to make sure they had what I was looking for and the gentleman I spoke with was very helpful — and remembered my call when I came in to purchase the flowers.
The store is quite large for a flower/​plant store, at least compared to the ones I’ve been to in Woodside and Astoria. They seemed to have a wide variety of bouquets, plants, and planted flowers of all sizes. You could totally outfit an apartment with greenery galore. I ended up with a gorgeous bouquet of 10 orange/​red tulips for $ 7 — they also had more expensive kinds for $ 10 and lots of color variety. Great hours too — open till 9PM on a Sunday! I’ll definitely be back.

Flowers by Giorgie is one of many florists in the area, but surely one of the best. Surrounded by shelves and layers of flowers, small plants, and specialty greens, this place is hard to miss in this busy section of Sunnyside.
Though I’m not actually sure which person I’ve consulted with is Georgie, virtually every guy here has been helpful in advising a type of plant for all sorts of occasions from house warmings to hot dates. They have given me great insight in taking care of the plant and choosing ones that are good for people who suffer from allergies. This is especially important since they have such a wide selection that for plant novices like myself, it can be very difficult to know where to start.
If there is any knock, is that some of their bigger plants don’t come cheap. I’ve had better luck at other florists for heavier plants and cheaper, but Flowers By Giorgie knows how to treat their customers well enough for us to come back.
