Best New Florist
The Bearded Florist
Staff Pick
This little shop popped up on King Street and now owner Noah Sanderson is setting up his gorgeous bouquets at places like the Workshop farmers market. Unlike perfectly picked roses and baby’s breath, Sanderson has an eye for wildly whimsical buds and remarkably his prices aren’t half bad — $30 for a huge bundle. Keep the fresh florals coming, partner. beardedflorist.com —Kinsey Gidick
