We proudly serve the entire Twin Cities Metro area. We have same day delivery service to Anoka and surrounding cities. Our Customer’s satisfaction is most important to us… because we want them to come back to us again and again. Many people have found flowers to be an expression beyond words; they are used to celebrate life’s blessings and in expressions of life’s deepest sadness. We understand the importance of flowers on any occasion. We invite you to stop in and visit our little but big flower shop in the heart of downtown Anoka. Visit with us- See for yourself the work we do and the care we take in it. We have down-to-earth sensibilities and enjoy the kindness in people. For fun we have a few short Bios of our florist family and friends↓↓ In the future we hope to share with you the beautiful flowers of mother nature that we get to work with everyday.
This is Most of us.↓

I’m Dawn (the Mom), We’re a close-knit family, sometimes the staff slip up and call me “Mom” by accident. I’m always handing out unsolicited advice. I think it’s because I have an opinion on every subject. I know they love hearing from me. You’ll hear… ”Ok, ok Dawn” Sometimes they just start talking over me. I do have two of my own real kids here. Destin and Aronisha (Roni). Fabulous kids! You’ll meet them or talk to them on the phone when you order flowers. My brother Steve is part owner with me. He’s a real Gem. Well, diamond in the rough. I’m so proud of my family and my Main Floral family. We get a little loud and sassy in the design room. The code word “betsie” works most of the time to quell the antics, but once in while someone has to be reminded customers are within ear shot of the crazy talk. We love what we do, that’s why we get up in the morning. To make people happy!

I’m Megan, I’ve worked here my whole life. I’m probably going to work here the rest of my life. I’m either really cranky or really funny, there is no in-between. Although when I’m out on the road most of the day I sometimes tend to miss all the fun, laughter and the inside jokes that occur throughout the day. When I am not on the road and stuck here in the shop I also enjoy designing, working with customers and of course my lunch break. Even though there is always the up’s and down’s in every job we are always here for each other, support each other and do the best we can. We strive to make every order and every arrangement the best!

Hi, I’m Roni! (Aronisha if you can pronounce it.) I’m a Proud Floral Designer here and One of the Kids
I Love to work with Flowers all day long. I love to Mix Colors and Textures that compliment each other. Over the past 6 Years my Tastes in Design have matured, and I realized that it takes not only Artistic Talent but Method and Experience to get it perfect. I learned most of what I know from my Mom… And though I sometimes want to Rebel.. I have to admit Mom’s are always Right! I know this to be true now.. I have a daughter of my own. Sometimes my Serious or Honest Nature gets me into trouble here in the shop and I’m not the fastest Designer because I’m Careful with quality and technique. While I’m still learning about flowers, I’m learning about Life at the same time; my biggest accomplishment thus far, is realizing I will never be done learning about either.

Hey there! I’m Melissa. I’ve been designing for Main Floral for 4 years. I have a wonderful husband named Corey, a cutie-pie daughter named Lily, and a dog called Martini. We have a new home, including a garden, where we spend a lot of time together. I’m a huge Minnesota Twins fan and avid listener of GOOD music. I’m the life-of-the-party so-to-speak! I love to work with all flowers but if I HAD to choose a favorite, it would be the gigantic locally grown dahlias.

Hi, Im Sara. I am a designer here at Main Floral. I am the most talented designer in the world…it’s true, ask anyone. I’ve been working at Main Floral for 5 years and I love it. I started working here when I was still in High School. It was a good place to start and grow, I’ve learned so much about life and family values.
Some days I can’t wait to get to work to have fun with my coworkers. I just had a baby! He’s the cutest thing, and the love of my life!!! I hang his picture next to my workstation and give him little kisses through out the day. I love fashion and keeping up with trends. I like to think that I bring some of my fashion forwardness into my work/designs.

This Is Destin. We’re waiting for him to write a short bio. He is one of the kids… the favorite one
He is great with people. He plays a big part in the Flower Shop business. His strengths include customer care, and computer problems. He also has talent in design. He is the man for demolishing and redoing displays in the shop. Destin is always willing to fill in where there are gaps. It’s always “Destin do that!” ”Destin do this!” His generosity is often taken for granted… there is just so much of it. Destin also has a life outside of the shop. He works hard in the Kiwanis Organization and is employed in a home where he gives as much as he can to less fortunate young adults.
Hi. I’m the other Meghan- I’m a designer here at Main Floral. I’m usually around on the weekends or holidays…as I work another full-time job. Recently I’ve been filling in when they need me. I’ve been at Main Floral for 8 years now! It really is fun to work with such diverse and caring people. They are like family to me. Don’t get me wrong, the floral business is hard work! Lots of late nights, knife cuts, thorn pricks, sweat and tears. But it is also a very rewarding job, and I like to be able to say I had a part in making someone’s day special.

This is Yazmin she’s very hard-working and our newest. She’s sweet and smart. Always learning, keeping busy, and refreshingly friendly and helpful. We love her. She’s a wonderful new addition to the Main Floral Crew.

Well… Thank You for your Compliments, You’re sweet.
