A good flower shop does not only tie, it chooses. Marsano in Mitte has done that since 2005 by season rather than by a fixed recipe, and since 2019 it has grown part of its flowers on a field of its own outside the city. Der Blumenstand in Kreuzberg goes a step further: Christoph and Ulrike Lenzen grow some 150 varieties themselves, organically and on 6,000 square metres in Brandenburg, and sell them at three places in the borough. On Alt-Moabit, Blumen- und Gartenkunst puts plants, bouquets and art objects out across the pavement, sorts the flowers inside by colour and plans whole courtyards and roof gardens alongside. Added to that are a neighbourhood shop in the Boetzowviertel that takes its cut flowers from Brandenburg and a business in Halensee that has stood at the same address since 1912.

I like entering flower shops without a concrete plan and letting the scent guide me. At blossom.berlin on Kantstrasse I learned that a bouquet can have a signature, and at BLUMEN-KOCH in Halensee I felt the calm of a family business with a long history. I share these addresses for all the days when words alone are not enough.
Marsano ties its bouquets by season rather than by a fixed recipe and has grown part of its flowers on a field of its own outside Berlin since 2019. Around 35 people work in the house south of the Gendarmenmarkt, and beside the floristry there are vintage furniture pieces, an Everlasting Collection and changing shows of young Berlin art.
Blumen- und Gartenkunst on Alt-Moabit puts plants, bouquets and art objects out onto the pavement and sorts the flowers inside by colour. The range is put together afresh each morning. Andreas Tunger and Thomas Tunger-Schnur have run the house for almost thirty years and join floristry to garden design, from a planted courtyard to a roof garden.
At Blumen-Koch Berlin on Westfaelische Strasse, Christian and Brise Koch and their team tie by hand only what they would put on their own table at home. A courier of their own carries the bouquets across Berlin the same day, and overnight they travel across Germany and into several European countries, while the collections change with the seasons.
Grünschnabel in the Bötzowviertel calls itself a neighborhood flower shop and sources its cut flowers from nurseries in Brandenburg, with a seven-day freshness guarantee. Bouquets start at 35 Euros, the shop plants balcony boxes for free (only the contents are paid for), and pots and vases come from their own line.
Der Blumenstand grows its own flowers: around 150 varieties on 6,000 square meters, organically grown in Brandenburg, plus about a hundred varieties of potted, balcony, and garden plants and herbs. Sales are made at three locations in Kreuzberg: in its own shop in Chamissokiez, in Markthalle Neun, and at the Ökomarkt (eco-market) on Chamissoplatz.
Flowers Art & Design sees itself as an atelier rather than simply a flower shop: bouquets, arrangements and room decorations are made on Kronenstrasse in Mitte, and beside them stand flower subscriptions for homes and offices, planted balconies and a flower taxi of its own that brings orders to the door within the city. Many of the jobs come from the neighbourhood.
Florale Welten has existed since the late nineties, and in 2008 the house was named flower shop of the year at the Taspo Awards. After spells on Nuernberger Strasse and Rankestrasse the business now sits in Halensee, with a showroom, a workshop counter and a city garden of its own. The flowers are fairly traded and come mostly from the region.
Blumen-Holm has been in Weissensee since 1992, run in the second generation and with seven people on the team, which trains its own florists. The flowers come from the region where possible and otherwise from fair trade, and beside the floristry the shop carries a range of vases, candles and furniture with an antique air.
Flower & Art in Wedding is not a shop to walk into but a workshop that works strictly to order: event flowers for companies, weddings with the whole table decoration and bouquets by advance order. The costing starts from the budget, with the figures split into fresh flowers on one side and service and hire items on the other.
Blumenhaus Gloeden in Rudow ties classic Biedermeier bouquets and gives a written freshness guarantee of at least a week on cut flowers. Beside the floristry the shop of Nicole Gloeden carries sculptures and figures in cast stone, stucco and metal for the garden, the conservatory and the living room, and regular customers collect loyalty points.
