February has been crazy! We are working up a storm to bring you the best options for flowers and gifts for Valentine’s Day with delivery and pick-up options in Chattanooga. We have also partnered up with other local vendors like Cocoa Asante and Noogarons to offer you locally made chocolate and macarons! The best of both worlds in my opinion. Preorders will CLOSE on February 10th, do don’t wait! Here are some of the choices available: Flower Options: Number one flower option is our traditional…
Good morning! Our first frost hit at the very end of October (which is way later than normal!) Our fresh flower season from the farm has mostly ended and we are transitioning to the winter season. You can still find some heirloom chrysanthemums from our farm for the next couple of weeks, but they sell pretty quickly! Now we will transition to having more dried floral and wreath options in our shop and through our delivery service. Fun events to look forward to these upcoming…
Ashley here, Joli Jardin’s Social Media and PR Director (pictured above wearing the burgundy dress!) One of my most special moments working in this new role so far was experiencing Chattanooga’s fashion month. Back in June, I introduced myself in an Instagram post where I shared a little about my switch from the New York City fashion industry into a job field that aligned more with my heart’s values and desires. Throughout this blog article, you will find beautiful photos from two fashion events we…

Not only does this excite the big reader in me, but I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to witness these two wonderfully inspiring women, Becca and Erin, as they work to build the flower business of their dreams.…
Undoubtedly, October is one of my favorite times of the year in Chattanooga. I adore Halloween. It also starts cooling off, the leaves start changing colors, and the dahlias explode to life! It’s been such a treat to be in our new shop and we knew we wanted to do a big floral piece just for this special time. We created a fun event for it at the shop and invited anyone who wanted to participate. We drank wine, snacked, and built a spooky floral…
We were so excited to host our first workshop in our new flower shop on Market Street. We invited Saree Silverman, a sculpture artist and floral designer, to host an ‘Intuitive Floral Design’ class this past Saturday. It was an amazing experience and we are so grateful to be able to offer educational experiences in this space. In the future, we plan on hosting more design workshops, seed starting and other gardening skills, kids workshops and more. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to learn…
Since we have had such great feedback from our wonderful clients and customers in Chattanooga for our first brick and mortar space, we have decided to open up a permanent location on 1263 Market St. This shop will be a showcase of our flower shop dreams. It will be a European styled flower market with vintage touches and an old world charm. We have an old historic space with beautiful exposed brick. In addition to a wide selection of flowers available by the stem, we…

The organization, Marked by Covid along with mayors, state legislators, and Members of Congress are taking action this March 1 as part of a…
We had the privilege of working with some outstanding vendors a couple of months ago on this beautiful styled shoot at Howe Farms We wanted the florals to come off as a bit wildflower and garden designed. We incorporated lavender, cosmos, lisianthus, dara, dahlias, strawflower, and more. We loved the soft and romantic look this created. If you look below, you can see some of the reception details. We have a beautiful floral chandelier that we use for wedding styling (and is available to rent)…
The passage of time this year has seemed truly impossible to track, and I know we’re not alone in that. March seemed to drag on forever, and then once April danced by suddenly it was Halloween and then Thanksgiving, and it felt like our floral season had less of a bittersweet wind-down and more of an abrupt stop. We took a short break for the beginning of November to let our brains and bodies hard reset in the Mexico heat to prepare for our fall…
