Readers' Choice: Best Florists in RI
A look at who won this week's poll across the state.
For Mother's Day, a get well gift or for a romantic gesture for that special someone, nothing says it like flowers. Patch readers choose their favorite places to pick up a floral arrangement.
It's the classic romantic gesture ... showing up on her doorstep with a bouquet of her favorite flowers. But if you truly want to make an impression, no ordinary convenience store bouquet will do. You need an artistic arrangement from the people who know the trade best.
So where do you go to find the best blooms?
Patch wanted to help readers decide which florists create the best arrangements in town. We asked readers throughout the state which shop in their town is their favorite. After five days of voting, the winners are in. Check out which florists readers think are the best of the best and support your favorite in the comments section below. Even better, check out the winners, buy that special someone a special gift, and upload a photo to show off the arrangement.
