Best of Boston

The only thing more beautiful than the vibrant, fresh flowers at any of this local chain’s locations are the spectacular arrangements, which are delivered with care, in-state or out. Count on Winston’s designers to create the perfect arrangement for any occasion, and count on the flowers to be fresh: All are shipped from their sources overnight and inspected before being arranged. Winston will take orders online (winstonflowers.com) and by phone, but garden lovers shouldn’t pass up a visit to the stores, which also stock ceramics for the home, garden accessories, and furniture.
