🌸💐⁠

⁠Before we officially embark on this new journey, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to Kristin and Diane. Their dedication and passion for this shop have been nothing short of inspiring. Thank you for nurturing this beautiful floral business. We promise to continue the legacy with the same love and care. ⁠

The sale will take place on Oct. 17th and we will be closed from the 17th-19th, reopening on Friday, Oct 20th. We are looking forward to being part of downtown Vergennes! Stay tuned for more info as we get our feet under us!⁠

Strong Vergennes Partnership Supporters!

Note from the Partnership, a BIG thanks to all:

Under the ownership of Hollyhocks, Kristin and Diane have been longtime supporters of Vergennes Partnership. For the past 20+ years, Hollyhocks has been the local source for beautiful floral arrangements for all occasions. How many of us have participated in their annual Boxwood Benefit - even by Zoom - during the height of COVID! Located 'underground' these last few years, they have made their little corner of the Little City so very bright. Kristin and Diane ~ thank you so much for your support, your friendship, and your commitment to our vibrant downtown. Kudos to you both; don't be a stranger!

In addition, Abby and Derek of Diddle & Zen have supported the Partnership through membership ever since they came to Vermont in 2019.

Heartfelt congratulations to Abby and Derek as they begin their new adventure in the heart of the downtown Vergennes.

They'll soon be joining a great group of entrepreneurs and others who give their all into making Vergennes a great place to live, work, play!

Collaboration and volunteerism lie deep within the heart of the Little City.
