Jeffrey's Florist more than just flowers

Jeffrey's Florist and Greenworld will be celebrating their 25th anniversary this June 1st.

In addition to the outstanding selection of houseplants for gifts, cemetery arrangements and fresh flowers, owner Jeffrey Rogerson has added more decorative items to the inventory for an even greater selection.

"We've added gourmet baskets, a line of bridal accessories, flags, giftware, gifts for newborns, lady's handbags, decorative angels," Rogerson says. "We do flowers for all occasions, we're a full service florist".

Weddings, funerals, birthdays; Jeffrey's can handle it all. Their custom memorial tributes are works of art. Jeffrey's can even wire flowers to other cities and towns.

Possibly the most impressive service at Jeffrey's isn't an item, but their attention to customer's needs and requests. "We can offer something for the price that a customer needs. We accommodate people at any price. A lot of people feel intimidated coming into a flower shop that it's going to cost too much. We have flowers and gifts for any price, any occasion," Rogerson says.

What Rogerson likes best about owning a business in the Albemarle area is being able to meet many different people and being able to help them through a difficult time like funerals, or joyful events such as a wedding.

"I just really like dealing with the people. My customers are genuinely nice people."
