Monday Mover: Davis Floral Company
With spring in full bloom, it’s the perfect time to highlight a business that truly embodies the season. This week’s Monday Mover is Davis Floral Company, a family-owned wholesale greenhouse that has been cultivating beauty in Northeast Georgia since 1964.
Spanning three acres, Davis Floral Company specializes in top-quality liners, potted annuals, bedding plants, and perennials, supplying independent garden centers with vibrant, healthy plants. Founded by Michael Davis’s father, the business is now expertly run by Michael and Lisa Davis, who continue the legacy of providing exceptional greenery to the region.
As someone with a deep love of flowers, I couldn’t think of a better business to showcase this spring. Their dedication to quality and passion for plants make them a standout in our local economy, ensuring that gardens and landscapes across Georgia flourish.
Join us in celebrating Davis Floral Company and the impact they have on our community’s green spaces! 🌸🌿
