Dutch Flowers

My go-​to flower shop. They know me after years of buying flowers there. I give them my budget, and tell them to work their magic — something nontraditional but beautiful — and they never disappoint. I normally don’t even see the arrangement until after it’s been delivered to my girl, but they’ve built my trust.

Wedding flowers were so lovely and delivered on time. The sangria colored lilies looked perfect with the soft pinks and greenery. The hair wreaths were truely beautiful face framing works of art. Els services exceeded our expectations.

The staff here is extremely unprofessional and rude. Their delivery driver left flowers at our medical office for a person that did not work there; therefore, he had to come back and pick up the flowers. When our office staff would not validate his parking because of his rude attitude and him not being a patient of ours, he proceeded to yell at the staff and called us a fuc*ing, wh*re, b*tch, c*nt. We called the company two times and neither of the times our phone calls were returned. This person clearly had anger management issues and I would not want him delivering flowers to anyone I remotely cared about. Their management staff obviously does not value customer service either as evidenced by simply not caring about the driver’s embarrassing and offensive actions.

I nice selection of pots and other decorative hard goods. Their flowers always look a little sad, but are usually pretty cheap. The employees are really rude.

if i could give this woman 0 stars i would. Just tried to order flowers for mother’s day from long distance. I gave her my budget, all the info with two babies on my lap with immediate needs just trying to get through this call. When the final quote was way over my stay at home mom budget, I asked her to cancel the order and heard a «WOW!» I was socked and when I realized what she said, I said, «Wow, this was a waste of my time too»…in the most obnoxious tone she said, «You really love your Mother!» I hung up. I thought people in the midwest were kind… it seems flower shop workers must make a lot more than I thought and not need to stick to a budget. Wow is right. NEVER again.

We live in Tulsa but decided to spend a weekend in KC for our anniversary. I have never missed getting my wife flowers for our anniversary however between our local florist closing and driving to KC on our actual anniversary, I thought this might be the first year she didn’t get any.
However I emailed Dutch flowers about my situation and told her where we were staying and between the flower shop and the hotel, my wife had a BEAUTIFUL floral arrangement waiting in the room when we checked in. She cried (always a good sign of a good/​gorgeous arrangement) and absolutely loved them.
They are now sitting on our dresser at home and have since bloomed even more and I have to agree with my wife, they are getting prettier every day. Thank you so much for making this weekend special!

A close friend, who knows how much I love receiving flowers, purchased me a surprise arrangement from the shop to have delivered to my work a few blocks away from this location. I was absolutely thrilled to receive them, but a little surprised at how bruised and bent most of the blooms were – really, out of a 15-​stem arrangement, maybe six flowers were presentable. It looks like it was snagged out of the back of a cooler, and had been sitting there for a while.
I’m so appreciative of the gesture from my friend, but I wish these flowers were in better condition so I could enjoy them for more than just one or two days, especially because I’m sure he paid a pretty penny for them.

A VERY special thank you to Melissa from Dutch flowers and her wonderful intern Ryan from Dutch flowers. Melissa is more than a florist… she is a wedding angel. This woman talked me through some very challenging times in the during the planning period and she kept me calm. Everytime I thought things were out of control she quickly reminded me that everything was happening just as it was supposed too. Melissa, Thank you. If you want someone who will not just talk about going above and beyond, this is actually the florist who is not all talk. She made my venue look stunning on a very tight budget. And so hard to make sure we were the happiest couple in the most beautiful venue. She is a miracle worker. And when she tells you everything is going to work out in the end, just listen. She knows what she’s talking about!

While I was wondering around the market I noticed the flower shop. I got a new lens for my camera and have been wanting to grab some flowers to play with the lens and this presented the perfect opportunity for me to quit procrastinating.
Unfortunately the lady working was worse at procrastinating at helping me than I am at procrastination with anything, and I am quite the professional procrastinator!
I went into the store and really enjoyed all of the different planters and crafty type things in the first area you walk through. I love plants and gardening so just loved everything about it. I walked into the second area and it was a bit messy, but they had a lot of flowers around. I started looking around and being I had my camera with me I was snapping a few shots while waiting for the lady to finish helping the people already there. The lady walked over by me and I let her know I wanted to get some flowers when she had a minute. I knew which flowers I wanted and continued wondering around the store enjoying everything. The other customers had left and I noticed the lady moving on to working on other things. I kept wondering around, took a few more pictures, and walked closer to her to make sure she knew I was still there. She continued working on whatever she was, going back and forth between tables, walking past me multiple times, not saying a word, going out into the other area and back. I was getting a bit annoyed obviously. If there was something she needed to get completed immediately before helping a customer, I could understand that, not like gathering and ringing up a few flowers would take a tremendous amount of time, but just acknowledge me.
After being there about 15 minutes I decided to get flowers somewhere that at least acted like they wanted to do business with me instead.

I’m absolutely in love with this place. I went to Dutch Flowers for the first time a few days ago and fell in love… I felt like I walked into one of the best flower/​garden shops in San Francisco. Dutch Flowers oozes with rustic charm from the moment you walk up to it. I went there in search of a unique bamboo arrangement and found so much more. The staff was so kind & helpful and created an arrangement that was just what I had searched for all over the city… to no avail until I found Dutch Flowers. The owners are from Holland and you can tell the place has a unique international character because of the owners. I also got a Hawaiian Volcano plant that is stunning sitting on my desk at work. They helped me put together a mix of arrangements that all compliment each other and are so unique from anything I’ve ever seen… simply gorgeous. I couldn’t resist getting one of their Birds of Paradise large plants that they trimmed/​shined for me! The large selection of pots there is so perfect and the one I chose for my plant was a buy one get one free-​my lucky bamboo had already paid off and I hadn’t even left the store yet! I live in South Johnson County and love to venture out to see what my city has to offer that is not the average Home Depot/​Costco garden section in the suburbs that doesn’t even compare with this gem of a store I found… I was so glad I did come down to the City Market/​Dutch Flowers– I can’t wait to get back there and feel again like I took a mini-​vacation to some wonderful little place for that hour I spent in there.

Went there today during lunch. Cool store with beautiful, floral aromas wafting about the space. Excellent selection of stylish plants and flowers. Bought a cool volcano plant for my office desk. May get one of their Bonsai trees as well! Great selection, fair prices, and helpful, knowledgeable staff. Check them out for your floral needs and don’t get ripped off elsewhere! The owners are from the Netherlands so they definitely know flowers.

I am not, nor have I ever been capable of planting a successful garden or been able to oversee a plant grow into a healthy adulthood. Countless cacti have died on me, but it’s not for my lack of trying, I swear. Despite my lack of green thumb though, I love having plants around, and I intend to keep trying. Since I wandered into Dutch Flowers a few months ago though, I think my plant murdering days are over. At least for now, the tiny fern I purchased a few months ago, has continued to thrive courtesy of the helpful maintenance instructions I got from the staff. The lone guy that works there is the best! He patiently helped me pick out a plant that would tolerate low sunlight (for my office), along with an appropriate planter, went ahead and planted it for me, and then gave a multitude of tips on how to care for it as it grows before I left. Fingers crossed that it continues to grow big and healthy.
I’d stopped in a few times before, mostly just to enjoy the scenery, but I am always doubly impressed by the friendliness of everyone that works there. Really everyone there is willing to help whether you are purchasing or not. They have a great selection of Banzai trees and Volcano plants — whoa cool, but I’m not ready to take those on yet, along with rows of colorful pottery and planters. Oh, and they have wooden Dutch shoes! As for the actual floral shoppe, I didn’t really investigate, but they all seemed to be in pristine condition. If you are in need of a quick gift, pick up an armful of orchids one of their greeting cards, and you’ll be good to go.
You should go, even if just to look around. And get pair of wooden shoes. And everyone needs a pair!

Excellent little gardening store located at Rivermarket! They carry your basic things for the garden but they also carry a wide and assorted variety of decorative items for your garden! I have been here twice now and got a gorgeous little flower pot with glass cemented to the side of the pot and on the second visit I bought a huge black cat ornament for Halloween! Totally awesome place!
The staff are always friendly but on my last trip back they wanted to know where I was from and I told them Colorado (I was out to KC to see friends) and they were a bit perplexed why I was out here since they said folks tend to want to move my direction. I can’t entirely blame them with the humidity there but once again these awesome gardening supplies makes it worth sweating out in the garden!

Fact: I have a green thumb (nail. Just got a manicure).
Dutch Flowers makes me very happy. Tucked inside the River Market, it’s location is perfect because you can easily park your car just a couple feet away so that when you’re traipsing down the block with your huge box of floral arrangements in 100 degree heat (I ain’t lying!), you don’t have to walk clear across the entire market in the scorching sun to reach your car.
But that would be a selfish reason upon which to base my rating Dutch Flowers. (Can you tell I’m just about *done* with summer by now? I’m at the point where I’m craving January and February’s blizzards).
This rather large shop is an urban nursery, i.e. not *just* a flower shop where you’ll find roses to give a date or dead person. Besides handling fresh floral arrangements and bouquets, there’s a cornucopia of plants, pots and gardening delights spilling outside the shop from the greenhouse/​antechamber.
The smells are incredible (they have jasmine… my favorite, in case anyone should want to know) and it’s really a sight for (sun) sore eyes. A verdant oasis, if you will. When browsing the market, be sure and stop here to take in all the pretty!

I have frequented this place many times over the years. I live a few blocks away, so it is super convenient. The flowers are not all at the peak of freshness, but I imagine turnover here may be a little slower. They really shine in the vase/​planter category. There is a GREAT selection of modern and colorful planters and some great oversized containers for city homes that have balconies or small patio’s.
I was inspired to write this review on my most recent visit for last Father’s Day. I walked in in a hurry looking for some flowers to put on a tombstone. The dude behind the counter, who I have not seen before, gave me the Dutch stink eye and continued playing with his newspaper. That’s fine, I am good at helping myself. Located the flowers and stood at the counter while he finished reading his article. I asked if he could put a couple water vials on the flowers. He looked at me like I just asked the most outrageous question ever. He started mumbling and throwing over piles of trash laying behind the counter. Btw, he did this in slow motion and when he turned around I got the full view of Dutch bed head. In my mind, I can’t help but picture him tending his own «special» garden at home.
The customer behind me said «seriously, how hard is that?’ Realizing he wasn’t going to ever find a small flower vial I asked for a wet paper towel and a plastic bag. The customer behind me points to the paper towels and his eyes glaze over. He finally finds what looks to be an old water vial and starts trying to jam three flowers through a hole half that circumference. Now I know why he is not busy on Father’s Day. I grab the flowers, hoping to stop the hole jabbing madness, and show him how to cut the hole bigger on the vial so that they will all fit. Jesus!
He bangs away on the register and I throw him a $ 10, who cares about my change. I clog it outta there before my head blows off. What a sucky way to start an already difficult day.

We get fresh flowers at our office once a week from here. It makes SUCH a difference in the feel of our lobby. The arrangements are always so creative. Also, if you need a plant or a pot, they have the best containers around.

Great location to visit while your visiting farmer’s market, or any other time for that matter. It just feels like a fun and creative place to work and shop. Our place is small and this place makes me wish I had the space to buy lots of those cool pots they have and just plant away on a summer day while wearing a big yellow hat and gloves. Dutch flowers would be my first choice for my supplies!
I sent one of my good friends back home a volcano rock plant for her birthday and the shipping service was great. A definate do not miss.

I dig this place!
I’ve bought a few plants from here over the years, and just a couple of days ago bought myself a white oleander tree and a pretty kick ass pot for it.
The place is cluttered, but i like that about it. it fits in perfectly with the environment. They have all sorts of fun plants you wouldn’t expect to find. I might have to go back for a volcano flower!
Not that i see a wedding in my immediate future, but their wedding stuff looks quite nice.
The staff is helpful, and cut me a deal when i expressed that i wasn’t sure if i wanted to spend the money at the time for the plant and planter.
I’m glad to have them in my neighborhood.
