The Botany Shop Florist

My mom was a very difficult client, and Chelsea went out of her way to find just the right plant to make her happy. Thank you Chelsea for the beauty that you added to mom’s life.

The roses I sent to my girlfriend looked barely alive and arrived a plastic looking purple vase. Let’s just say, the picture looked great, and if that’s what would have arrived, I would have been a happy customer.
This place needs to clean up the front of the store. Also, they shoud show some respect to their customers. I came here for flowers. All I got was a poor attitude. Good thing I went straight to FarmGirl Flowers. I was actually treated like a valued customer there.

I have shopped here for over 8 years and loved every arrangement. Today I had to buy flowers for a sad occasion, and despite being last minute and close to closing time they accommodated me without hesitation. Lovely folks and great ownership.

The most beautiful flowers I have ever received. They did a fantastic job! Received these beautiful flowers last Friday, they are still fresh and still opening. Highly recommend, beautifully arranged, very professional!

Just used this same-​day live plant delivery service today and was VERY satisfied. I did some quick googling, and really liked the Stylish Plant Assortment (title on the website). It was very colorful and, as you might hope, came in a stylish wooden planter box. I called later in the day to confirm the order, especially since it was same day delivery. The woman who answered knew exactly what I was referring to (which I appreciated because I was kind of cryptic since I was making the phone call in an office) and confirmed it would be delivered this afternoon. The delivery person delivered it around 5:30pm, which was perfect because it was to a residence and I’d included instructions to leave the plant with anyone in the apartment building (knowing it would find its way to the correct person). The delivery person went above and beyond, however, and looked up the person’s apartment number in the directory and buzzed the correct apartment (which was actually a different one than the one I’d included in the delivery address). This small thoughtful extra step really impressed me, and it meant my recipient got the delivery in person.
By the way, the plant (see the picture) is almost exactly as pictured on the website. Another star for that! It looks healthy, carefully put together, and like it will open and bloom soon/​change colors (rather than be in its absolute prime upon delivery). Again, another thoughtful touch. Ordering online was super easy — the form asks whether it’s for a residence, business, or other, and includes a section for additional instructions. I also got to type a message to be included on a card. There are a lot of other things I should be doing tonight instead of writing this review, but the quality of the plants and the excellent service was just too good to not go out of my way to recognize. Thank you again!

Very disappointed by the delivery of an underwhelming and sad $ 80 floral arrangement that looked like it was prepared by a class of pre schoolers taking flower arranging for the very first time.
Ordered the «FTD® Spring Tulip Bouquet by Better Homes and Gardens® — 25 Stems — VASE INCLUDED», which is the highest upgrade and was too include 25 stems in a beautiful etched glass vase for a co-​workers birthday and this outfit did the service and delivery.
Got 19 stems (yes, I counted) that looked barely alive in a plasticky looking purple vase. Let’s just say, the picture looked great, and if that’s what would have arrived, I would have been a happy customer.
I contacted FTD, who in turn contacted this operation… they are going to pick up and redeliver. I’ll keep you posted!

Ordered online the day before Valentines Day to have flowers delivered the next day … they arrived as promised and were beautiful.

Was here one early afternoon to look for flowers and bouquets for my sister’s upcoming wedding. While I found the flowers to be very fresh and vibrant in colours, I found one of the lady staff members here to be extremely rude. The place a bit cluttered near the entrance and I tripped over a carton. Thank God I didnt fall face down.
There was a delivery driver who looked to be delivering a big heavy package for them too and tripped over that same carton a second after I did and the lady staff just straight up screamed at the driver and was totally racist and taunting the driver. Wow! Even I felt intimidated and so did a few customers in there too. Nobody needs to be exposed to this kind of treatment especially me being the customer putting my money down for your services and merchandise and especially for someone who’s breaking their backs trying to deliver stuff you ordered with you barely lifting a finger. While I was standing next to the driver, I was given a dirty look by her also. WTF? Then she turned her cold shoulder against us scoffing. What did I do to deserve this? Maybe I just ran into one of the bad employees here.
Seriously, this place needs to clean up a path at least for their doorway. Second, they have to at least show some respect and decency in front of their customers. I didnt come here to report to boot camp again; I came here for flowers! Good thing I went straight to FarmGirl Flowers down at Brannan St, SF. I was actually treated like a valued customer there and more!

The Botany Shop has nice flowers for a good price. They also are supportive of local events. Timmie is friendly and helpful. If the shop itself was a bit neater they would get a five star review.

This botany shop as been in the neighborhood for years and it’s been our go to shop for any occasion. The pre-​made floral arrangements are beautiful and if you don’t like what you see than they’ll gladly put together a floral arrangement of your choice and to your liking. Great service and affordable.

Timmie secured my order for «bright roses and carnations’ and man they were fantastic. Botany Shop Florist is the ticket. My wife said the arrangement looked like $ 150. But it was $ 75. Mainly, it was gorgeous. Use Botany Shop, you will love ‘em!

The roses that I received a few weeks ago from this florist were absolutely stunning. It was a bouquet of roses and carnation decorated with baby’s breath and foliage. The flowers were so beautifully arranged and the florist took care to put some sort of clear sticky tape, criss-​crossed on the top of the vase to keep the arrangement in place. I didn’t need to replace the water for a week. The delivery person left the flowers just in front of the door of my apartment since I wasn’t home to receive them. It was a really beautiful surprise, thank you so much. I don’t know how much the arrangement costs, but it made me so happy. :)

Giant thanks to the owner (Timmie) for taking time out from her hectic day yesterday (Valentine’s Day) to help me with a last-​minute selection of some roses to purchase for the occasion! =)

Ordered flowers for Valentine’s day for delivery by 5 pm. They didn’t show so I called them at 6:15, a guy picks up and says it is on the van for delivery give him 15 mins. 6:45 and still nothing I call again, the same guy answers and says the delivery guy is there ask me to see if I can see his van, nothing. He says wait a bit as the delivery guy is circling around. 7:30 still nothing I call and the same guy answers and says he doesn’t know what to say, but all the delivery guys are still out and it isn’t in the shop so it has to be on it’s way. 8:15 still nothing I call again really frustrated and and ask them what is going on. They ask to call me back so fine at this point its pretty useless. 8:30 I guess possibly the owner calls me back, she asked if I saw the charge on my credit card I told her I haven’t checked. She says probably my credit card was rejected…(I’m thinking and they didn’t call to let me know…). She ask me where I ordered the flowers from and I told her it was directly through THEIR own site not a 3^rd party even gave her the order confirmation number. She goes digging around I assume and she says «oh…I have the order sorry about this we were having internet issues this week». Now I’m thinking credit card rejection, now internet issues… hmmm. She says she will make the arrangement and deliver it (it was 8:40 pm). I told her it is way too late now and she says she won’t charge me it was their fault (at least she tried). I would never order from them again. On the most important day of the year and they screw it up. My gf is in a fit now for not receiving flowers. I would not recommend delivery from them the excuses and then finally admitting it was their fault. Last but not least they delivered the flowers at 10:20…great timing!

There are floral shops in various locations around the city. I don’t recall ever seeing many floral shops in the Portola, Bayview Hunter’s Point Districts. Maybe there are floral shops in Visitacion Valley, Cow Palace, Little Hollywood. Yet this is by far one of the best flower shops in the Portola, Bayview Hunter’s Point.
I came in here and bought one white rose for memorial purposes. The staff member on duty is very polite and customer service is excellent. Definitely a recommended florist for my family, friends, and classmates. A go to florist shop to get boquets for any reason, events/​occasions!

My girlfriend and I needed corsages and boutonnière for our prom and decided to check out this local place. After a few other flower shop visits, The Botany Shop caught our attention in terms of selection and service. Immediately, once you walk into the shop, you will be surrounded with a jungle of flowers. There was so many different selections to choose from, that I had to refer to a catalog to pick our matching set for our big day. The people who worked here (and probably owns this place) were helpful and offered their advice on what’s in season and what’s fresh.
We eventually decided on cymbidium orchids that were pink with a bit of white and yellow spots at the core to match her dress. When I picked up the corsages and boutonnière on the day of prom, my girlfriend was wowed with the freshness and colors that were beautifully put together.
Now, the one thing I didn’t like was that the price of your purchase fluctuates with your duration of your presence in the store. When I first walked in, I was given a price of ~$ 17.xx for orchids, and as we look at other selections, the price seemed to go up and down like a roller coaster. I don’t think they have a set price on their flowers, they just seem to wing it to clear stock. Another con, was that the corsage quickly deteriorated after it was put on. That wasn’t really a big problem, but compared to all my other friends, whose corsages stayed put throughout the whole night, it does show how hastily made it was (when I arrived to pickup, my corsage and boutonnière wasn’t assembled yet, but then again it was a day before Mother’s Day.).

My experience with Dean’s was amazing. Don’t let the appearance of the little shop deter you. They know just what they’re doing.
I was helping an Air Force buddy stationed in Texas order a bouquet for a mutual friend’s graduation, so it took a LOT of time to do all the communication, explain how each flower he wanted looked like, get the final arrangement of the bouquet, etc. They were extremely patient and extremely helpful.
I was not able to pick up and deliver the bouquet personally, but from what I saw, it looked absolutely amazing. They were also very helpful in making sure everything would be ready and perfect for the pick-​up.
The price for the quality of flowers is definitely worth it.
I was observing all the different roses they have while speaking with my buddy and I just have to note they are gorgeous. The colors are beautiful, and they bloomed very nicely. I’ve never seen such gorgeous roses in such a vast array of colors.
I’d definitely come here again when I need flowers.

I just used them again! You really can’t go wrong with Dean’s. Order some flowers today!

Excellent customer service! I called today for a very last minute memorial order and they were able to accomodate my request immediately. I was so impressed by their willingness to throw a bouquet together quickly even though it was a big request– all with sincerity and a smile. Highly recommended!

I’m helping to spread the word about this absolutely amazing flower shop! Tucked away in a busy street full of ethnic holes in the wall, it’s difficult to imagine beautiful bouquets coming from this area.
I initially found out about this place because flowers were delivered to me from there and I was so impressed by the quality of the flowers and how long they lasted! So, I decided that I would visit them personally someday to see what they were all about.
My first visit was for a bouquet of flowers for my mom’s birthday. Walking in, the florist does not have much to display but a bunch of blooming orchids and some gerbera daisies. But when you start talking to the florist about what you are looking for (in this case, some beautiful, oversized stargazer lilies), he shows you the variety in their fridge storage and everything looked beautiful, fresh, strong and vibrant with colors! He knew exactly what I was looking for and I feel I definitely got my money’s worth, maybe even double my money’s worth!
Gorgeous flowers, wonderful service and happy Mom… What more could you ask for! Definitely my «Go-​To» Florist!
