Our Story

✨Our Story: Where Passion Blooms

Every great venture starts with a spark, and for Beachwood Flower Shop, that spark was ignited by our visionary founders, Jasmine and Harry. Their journey began in 1998, driven by a deep love for nature's artistry and a simple, heartfelt mission: to bring beauty, joy, and meaningful connections to homes and events across Toronto.

The current owner, Jenny, was entrusted with continuing this beautiful legacy, taking over the shop in 2009 and embracing its core values. 

At Beachwood Flower Shop, we believe flowers are more than just blooms; they're messengers of emotion, expressions of love, and timeless symbols of life's most precious moments.

💐Our Philosophy: Freshness, Creativity, Care

We're dedicated to sourcing the freshest, highest-quality blooms, prioritizing local growers whenever possible to ensure vibrant arrangements that last. Our team of passionate florists pours their creativity into every design, transforming nature's palette into art that tells your unique story.

Beyond the blossoms, our philosophy is rooted in care. We care about the journey of each flower from farm to vase, the impact we have on our community, and most importantly, the experience you have with us. When you choose Beachwood Flowers, you're choosing:

  • Exceptional Quality: Only the freshest, most beautiful flowers make it into our designs.

  • Artistic Flair: Each arrangement is thoughtfully crafted with creativity and precision.

  • Personal Touch: We listen to your needs, ensuring your floral gift perfectly conveys your message.

🌷Meet Our Team: The Heart Behind the Blooms

   

Behind every beautiful bouquet is a dedicated team passionate about flowers and people. We're more than just florists; we're artists, designers, and your partners in celebrating life's moments.

  • Jenny: [Florist/Our Boss!]

    • "Running a flower shop was never something I anticipated. My path to becoming the owner of this beloved local gem was an unexpected, yet incredibly rewarding, journey.

      It all began when I had the privilege of meeting Jasmine and Harry, who poured their hearts into establishing this very shop. Over time, I was entrusted with continuing their beautiful legacy, naturally stepping into the role of owner.

      The world of flowers was entirely new to me, and I'll admit, there was a steep learning curve and plenty of mistakes made in those early days! But with every bloom arranged and every customer served, my passion grew.

      Now, two decades later, my love for this vibrant neighborhood and for the art of floristry runs deeper than ever. It's more than just a business; it's a profound connection to our community and a daily joy to be surrounded by nature's beauty. Every day, I feel incredibly fortunate to continue this blooming journey."

  • Helen: [Lead Florist]

    • Helen brings a wealth of expertise and a true passion for blooms to our team. With a formal education in Floristry and an impressive 20 years of experience in the industry, she is a master of her craft. Helen has a particular fondness for the serene beauty of violet-hued flowers and the vibrant life of green plants, often incorporating these elements into her stunning designs. Her dedication ensures every arrangement is crafted with precision and heart.

  • Sasha: [Florist, Floral Advisor]

    • Sasha is a key member of our design team, bringing a fresh and effortless touch to every arrangement. Her professional philosophy is simple yet effective: "Go with the flow." This relaxed approach allows her to create beautiful, natural-looking designs that capture the essence of each bloom.
      Her love for flowers is particularly evident in her affection for pink lilies, a flower she often turns to for its elegant and vibrant character.

  • Gab: [Botanist, Floral Advisor]

    • Gab brings a unique blend of scientific curiosity and artistic flair to our team. As a fourth-year biology student with a deep fascination for the intricate world of plants, mushrooms, and algae, he is constantly learning and applying his knowledge to our work. The complex beauty of how plants function and grow has always astounded him, and this intrigue fuels his passion for floral design.
      Gab's priority is to anticipate the needs of our customers and our team, ensuring every arrangement is not just beautiful, but perfectly suited to its purpose. As a proud resident of The Beaches, he is dedicated to serving our community with thoughtful and personalized customer service experiences.

  • Lucas: [Florist, Floral Advisor]

    • Lucas's journey with flowers began not as a profession, but as a lifelong connection. Growing up surrounded by blooms, he developed a deep appreciation for their ability to brighten any moment and evoke powerful emotions. This passion led him to pursue a career where he could share this same beauty with others, one arrangement at a time.

      With a philosophy of "People before process," Lucas is dedicated to understanding the heart behind every order. He believes that the most meaningful floral designs are those that tell a story, and he finds immense joy in crafting arrangements that perfectly capture the sentiment of the moment.
