I have never picked out or purchased mums before and I was buying mums for a school in the neighboring town so that made it a little more difficult. The saleswomen at the store were very helpful. They did not have any mums made up in the school colors I needed so they showed me the mums in the local school colors and the ribbons they had in the school colors I needed.
I was very lost on what teenage girls wanted on mums and the saleswoman was very helpful showing me what was popular and what they could add to make it special. They also had mums already made up and priced that you could look at to have an idea of price range. This made it much easier to choose what to add to your mum. I was able to look at the already made mums and have an idea of what they would look like after made up and added what I wanted. You may also set a price range on how much you want to spend and they will make up the mum baste on the price you have picked out.
Even though I was buying at the last minute and needed a different color mum from the already made up ones they were able to have both mums done the next afternoon. My step daughters were very pleased with the mums. They got many compliments from the other girls at school. One of my step daughter even chose to wear the mum we got her instead of the one her boyfriend gave her. Most of their friends said they would be visiting the shop next year for their mums instead of the florist in their town.
The Flower Basket also has many gifts other then flowers for sale. The store also offers fruit baskets, silk arrangements, dish gardens, greeting cards, and candles. They also offer delivers in the Athens area for a $4 fee. They also deliver to the local nursing homes, hospital, and funeral homes.
