BJ’s Flowers & Plants, Inc.

BJ’s Flowers & Plants operates a walk in retail storefront at 201 South Ridgewood Avenue, Suite 9, open Monday through Friday from 8:30 in the morning to 5 in the evening and Saturday mornings from 8:30 to noon, closed on Sundays. The shop describes itself as family owned and operated since 1981, which makes it one of the longer standing small businesses along Edgewater’s main commercial strip, having served the community through decades of change along Ridgewood Avenue.

As a genuine walk in florist rather than a delivery only or wire service operation, BJ’s encourages customers to stop by in person to see the full range of what the shop calls its gift shop selection alongside fresh flower arrangements, plants, and seasonal items. That in store experience sets it apart from ordering flowers through a national wire service, letting customers see and choose arrangements directly or work with staff on something custom for a specific occasion.

A local florist like this one typically handles the full range of occasions a small town needs covered, from weddings and funerals to birthdays and everyday gifts, along with plants for homes and offices. Being family owned for more than four decades suggests deep familiarity with the local community, including relationships with area churches, funeral homes, and event venues that often come with that kind of longevity.

Given the posted hours, planning a visit for weekday business hours or Saturday morning is important, since the shop is closed Saturday afternoons and all day Sunday. Calling 386-428-7007 ahead of a visit is worthwhile for custom orders, delivery requests, or advance planning around a wedding or other event, especially during holiday periods when demand for fresh flowers rises sharply.

For Edgewater residents, having a genuine walk in florist within town limits, rather than relying on a florist based in New Smyrna Beach or Port Orange for local deliveries, means faster turnaround and the option to see arrangements in person before committing to one for an important occasion.

The shop’s own website specifically invites customers to stop by in store to see the full gift shop selection, a detail that confirms this is a genuine walk in retail storefront rather than a delivery only operation working out of a warehouse. That distinction matters for anyone who prefers choosing an arrangement in person, discussing options with staff, or simply enjoying the experience of browsing a real flower shop rather than selecting from photos on a screen. Over more than forty years in business, a shop like this becomes woven into the community’s routines, from prom season corsages to holiday centerpieces that regulars return for year after year.
