With five-star reviews across platforms and a loyal base of returning clients, the shop is deeply woven into the local community.
The sale includes a range of ready-to-go assets designed to support growth and ease transition, including:

These elements provide a strong foundation for a buyer with vision and creative drive, looking to take the business into its next chapter.
A Purpose-Built Storefront with Historic Charm
Roughly 1,700 square foot storefront with oversized windows and historic details | Three-year lease with supportive local landlord | 13-foot floral cooler, back-of-house workspace, and private delivery access
The historic storefront and functional workspace have been renovated with workflow in mind. Architectural details like oversized windows, dark hardwood floors, and colorful accents bring warmth and texture to the space, setting the stage for the next chapter of creative growth. Features include a 13-foot, three-door cooler, generous storage and prep areas, a separate delivery entrance, and off-street parking for two company vans – one recently acquired and fully outfitted with a custom delivery system.
Foot traffic comes from loyal locals and weekend visitors from New York City alike, while daily floral orders and booked events through 2027 provide reliable, year-round momentum. The shop handles approximately 40 weddings annually and is a preferred vendor at many of the region’s top venues, including Black Walnut Farm, Wylder Windham, Windham Manor, and Diamond Mills, plus dozens more, from Phoenicia Diner to Stonehill’s.
The Neighborhood: In & Around Saugerties, New York

Tucked between the Catskills and the Hudson River, Saugerties blends small-town character with creative energy — a place where antique storefronts and curated shops line a historic main street, and a lighthouse walk ends with panoramic river views. The Dancing Tulip sits at the heart of it all, just steps from the village’s most beloved shops, cafés, and weekend buzz — anchoring a walkable downtown with year-round appeal.
Start the day with a NYC-style bagel at Village Bagels, or opt for a cup of coffee and pastry from Josie’s. Afterward, spend some time shopping for vintage clothing at Chambers Vintage, a minimalist, mood-forward shop for ’70s to ’90s fashion. Alternatively, dig kitschy finds and antique furniture at Pop Vintage Antiques and the Saugerties Antique Center.
For modern housewares, decor, and body products, Bosco’s Mercantile carries a thoughtful selection curated with an emphasis on sustainability. A few storefronts down, Inquiring Minds Bookstore is a longtime local staple, pairing bestsellers and indie titles with plenty of spots to linger.
Just south of the village, a riverside walk through Ruth Reynolds Glunt Nature Preserve leads to the historic Saugerties Lighthouse, a nineteenth-century landmark turned two-bedroom B&B. From the trail’s end, wide Hudson River views open up, and at high tide, the final stretch becomes a boardwalk across tidal wetlands.
