Customer testimonials

Jonathan H.

Longfellows is a beloved area institution. They are helpful while there, respond to emails and are always friendly. They seem to always have what you need. Just go. There’s no chance you’ll regret it. What could be nicer, right? An afternoon walking around smelling and looking at flowers. Maybe with a loved one. Like I said, just go.

We have been going to Longfellow’s for 25 years now. Our first trip of every year is for Mother’s day. We love to see the luscious flowers and plants. They just make me happy.☺️ Such a fun mother’s day tradition
