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 …

Readers' Choice: Best Florist in Middletown

Who's your favorite in town?

If a woman in your life says "don't bother buying me flowers," you're probably better off doing it anyways. Why? Because no matter how traditional of a gift they are, flowers are an immediate pick-me-up. They're fresh, colorful and almost always a pleasant surprise. That said, you can't give just any flowers. (Forgo the carnations and don't even think about picking a few out of the front lawn.) Make it a bouquet, the bigger the better. Roses always win. Luckily, there are dedicated local florists who can help you get it right. This week, we want to know: which local florist is your favorite? Is it Broadway Floral Designs, Chaves' Gardens, Stop & Shop, Shaws, Water's Edge or Little Flowers Floral? Vote in our poll below, then share your …
