Thus arrangement was so appreciated by my friend Julie, she posted it on Facebook!
Gardenias is far and away the BEST shop
Kelvin P.
Extremely satisfied with the experience, she loved the flowers. The order was completed and delivered in less than 2 hours.
Dawn W.
We selected this colorful bouquet for a new coworker to welcome them and brighten their desk for their first day! She was thrilled with the arrangement. The flowers were abundant, and stayed fresh throughout the week - it was the perfect touch. We can depend on Gardenias to always deliver creatively assembled, quality arrangements - even on a moment's notice.

Horrible, horrible experience. They sent an email saying "we delivered"... but didn't. A dozen unanswered phone calls and emails over the next two hours (closed when they were supposed to be open).... eventually, way later than scheduled, they drop off some crap on the front porch that looks nothing like what I paid for. You would be insane to buy flowers from this lady ever. The best part of this nightmare is they keep sending you emails to call their phone to discuss problems so they can fix... a phone number they NEVER answer. This place is a scam.

The arrangement is beautiful! My sister was especially intrigued by the container and can’t wait to use it in future. Thank you for helping me lift her spirits after the passing of a beloved kitty.

I couldn’t make it to physically go in the flower shop (which I was literally around the corner) but I took the chance and ordered online. My coworker said the flowers were beautiful! I was a bit stress as it was last minute but the online process and delivery was great!
Mary T.
We were quite disappointed with the arrangement...the roses were curled and the edges were brown...the other flowers (not what was pictured) were all drooping...definitely worth the $100 we paid...
Erin G.
I have received flowers from gardenia’s this past month twice from a friend of mine. The arrangements were beautiful and lasted for about a week each. I recently sent flowers to my friend who had surgery. She loved the arrangement and raved about how beautiful it was. I also recently put in an order for a prom corsage and boutonnière. I’m sure they will be just as lovely as my flowers in the past. I highly recommend gardenia’s
Raul S.
As always the arrangement was beautiful and delivered on time.My go to florist for special occasions comes through again.Thank You for staying consistent.
MARY D.
These flowers are gorgeous! I just also had a different arrangement sent to my daughter, and after a little confusion (my fault) she received her arrangement and this one Zen, was even nicer than the 1st! Absolutely beautiful! Unique arrangements, quality flowers artistically arranged! Very talented and not your “cookie cutter “ arrangements. Keep this up and you have a customer for life. So pleased! Thank you for your talent!

I don't know how you did to rate this. I received a delivery confirmation at 5:43pm. I requested delivery by 2 ( to the funeral home that was having viewing to start at 3pm). I didn't receive a picture of the flowers, so again, it's hard to give a acurate review for this 260 dollar order so I have to give a 3 (for the unknown).
Danielle H.
I could have picked the same flowers from my home garden. Looked nothing like design requested left a note specifically for the florist to contact me if the arrangement could not be made as pictured, and if the flowers pictured were not available, I would’ve gladly worked with the florist to find an alternative choice for the recipient. I’ve used this floors before. I know she has a great, creative eye. I’m not really sure what transpired with this arrangement, but I am disappointed as I specifically chose her shop because I know her artistic abilities.
Caroline C.
I couldn’t believe how fast these were delivered. Within just a couple hours of me ordering, they were delivered and so beautiful!
Sarah G.
Very much smaller than the advertised image suggested. Doesn’t contain all the elements. I have written already to the delivery confirmation address to express my disappointment and invite you to make recompense.
Dawn W.
While I prefer to go into her shoppe because it is so lovely and inspiring, the online ordering process was easy, and the arrangement was as beautiful as the online picture. Gardenias never disappoints in quality, style, or delivery service.
Elissa K.
It was not what I was expecting and I was embarrassed when I saw it at my friend’s mother’s wake. The flowers were in good shape but it was not a professional arrangement. I’ve order from this store in the past- maybe they were just busy this weekend.
Linda J.
Disappointed in the lack of fullness on the top of the arrangement. I feel I paid extra for that and it wasn’t there
Kathleen T.
My received the flowers and sent me a picture. They looked just like the photo I saw on you web site. We both agree they were beautiful. Thank you so much. Would order from gardeniasfloral.com again.
Anna S.
Thank you for the prompt delivery However the flowers were just stuck in vase.Who ever made the arrangement definitely needs much more training . Flowers just shoved in vase.Not what I have experienced before with Gardenia s flower shop.I have worked with you for years and always been satisfied. Not the case this time.
Phyllis B.
I wish I could have been there in person to see the arrangement and hope it was as pretty as the picture.
Kelli J.
I ordered these from out of state and they delivered on time and were even more beautiful than the sample photo! The recipient said the beautiful arrangement made her day. Thank you for the flawless order process and execution!
Karla G.
The ordering was quite easy and the arrangement delivered looks exactly like the picture provided on the website. Will order again.
Vita G.
Beautiful arraignment. Exceeded expectations!
Ordering was easy and delivery was fast.
Thank you so much. Excellent job.

Michelle S.
Amazing prom flowers! They were exactly as pictured and my daughter loved them!! Will definitely use Gardenias for all our floral needs.
Craig K.
I use Gardenia's frequently and they always do a fantastic job. Five star service and five star flowers every time.
Regina G.
My mother loves the arrangement that was sent to her for Mother’s Day. It’s beautiful! Gardenias always has the nicest flowers. Thank you for making her day special.
Adriana L.
I went via Google to find the best florist in Metuchen, and was not disappointed. These flowers brightened my friend's day considerably and were exactly as pictured! Thanks for a job well done.
Dolores O.
My friend said that the flowers were beautiful. She said you’re the best florist in Metuchen. I guess I made a great choice.
Linda S.
Beautiful bouquet, delivery was right on time. Everyone loved it! Pretty selection of flowers.
Joanne D.
I ordered this arrangement for someone who really needed a smile. She loved it! It looked just like the picture and was delivered promptly. I'm very happy with my experience.
Hannah Z.
My husband and I received our lavender reminder bouquet for our grandmothers funeral. We ordered the premium version of the lavender reminder for $122. This bouquet was meant to have multiples types of pink and purple flowers as well as tall stalks of lavender and tall stalks of pink flowers as well. There were no tall stalks and the pink flowers we were expecting were not in the bouquet. Also, we were expecting the flowers to be delivered in a brown basket with a purple ribbon and they were in a white pale with no ribbon. The bouquet that we received did not even meet the standard version of the flowers ($80) let alone the premium version ($122). I’ve attached some photos for reference of what we received and the standard version of what we were expecting. We would greatly appreciate a refund as this was not the bouquet we payed for and we are disappointed with the flowers that showed up. I have been reaching out to the company since February 12th and they have yet to get back with me. Very disappointed with its Gardenias floral. Would not recommend. 0/10.
Malissa R.
The flowers were delivered and they were so fresh and beautiful they smelled amazing i love the flowers
Imrose M.
I've had a bad experience with delivery in the past but this is the First time being disappointed with an arrangement from Gardenias. These were for my Wife on Valentines day so im assuming because of the high volume of orders these just didn't receive the normal care. Usually when I buy an arrangement from Gardenias the flowers last a good amount of time but this arrangement began to shrivel the next day. I also paid extra for the added flowers so a little more disappointing when you pay extra and the arrangement doesn't live up to par.
Meghan C.
Gardenia is my family’s go-to florist, they never fail to put together beautiful thoughtful arrangements, and you can’t beat same-day delivery. Wonderful service and the bouquet was beautiful.
Erin C.
Stunning arrangement for my mother's birthday! She deserved it so much and it was truly beautiful.Thank you again for making her day!!
Kathleen H.
The floral arrangement delivered to my friend was beautiful and like what was pictured on the website. Same day delivery as promised.
Maureen D.
The spray was absolutely beautiful. It looked exactly like the picture on the website. I saw other arrangements done at Gardenias Floral in the past and wanted to use them for my mother-in-law’s viewing. I am so pleased that I did. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend this florist to others.
George C.
The flowers were for my late girlfriends daughter. It’s her birthday, the first one without her mother. Your florist did a fantastic job and included the extra items I requested to make this truly special for her. Thank you so very much for all you did. We really appreciate everything.
John K.
Bought a gift bouquet for my step daughter's birthday.
Easy to use ordering and same day delivery worked out flawlessly.
The arrangement was beautiful - certainly worth the price.
Barbara S.
I was very, very happy with this arrangement. It was even nicer than the photo - beautiful fresh flowers, very full and substantial. I did pay extra for the “deluxe” version and I really feel it was well worth it. I once had another expensive arrangement delivered to a funeral home (from a different florist) and was horrified at how small and insignificant it looked. This was beautiful! Gardenias did a beautiful job and I am grateful! Thank you!
Diane Battaglia
Theresa L.
Gardenia's never fails! The arrangement was absolutely beautiful that was sent to my sister. It was colorful, healthy, and made with care. They far exceeded my expectations.
Peter R.
I was very disappointed with the size of the arrangement. I ordered a Country Sunshine for $52.95 which was supposed to be a medium sized arrangement but my stepmother received a small arrangement.
She was happy with the flowers and delivery. I was not happy with the amount of flowers in the arrangement for the cost.
I had wanted to support local Metuchen business but I do not believe I will be ordering from this florist again.
Robert R.
a unique arrangement was created that surpassed the image in the photo. it was fresh, vibrant and delivered in a timely manner. will definitely use this florist again. highly recommended.
Jessica K.
Wonderful, as always. The colors and arrangement were just perfect for my daughter's recital. Thank you, Gardenias!
Lauren T.
Easy online ordering. Looked even more beautiful in person! Very earthy and natural, just what I wanted. Thank you Gardenias for such a beautiful job!
Katherine P.
Beautiful fresh plant and flowers
Delivered as promised
Will reccomend your florist to all

Laurie B.
This was so so small and I paid for upgrade. I even asked if maybe there was a mistake and she said it was correct. I just can not see how. The heart was lopsided and I could only tell it was a heart cause I knew what I ordered. To someone else they would have no idea what that was. And the flowers were picked up at 2pm. By 9pm they looked near dead. I order flowers alot and so I know what quality is and costs should be. 80$ for this and it was worth maybe $20 at best. First time ordering and never again. Sorry!
Betty P.
The flowers were beautiful! The design was just like the picture! And deliver was on time! Thank you.
Maura T.
I love Gardenias Floral. They consistently deliver the best arrangements. I am always so thrilled to support this business I grew up with in Metuchen.
Wanda E.
Easy experience, beautiful bouquet. Great value. My daughter was so happy with her flowers.
Robert C.
Flowers were beautiful and they arrived as scheduled - always a pleasure working with Gardenias
Imrose M.
I'm located less than 2 miles away from Gardenia.. Flowers were delivered at the end of the day and to the Wrong Address! I've ordered from here before so they sent them to the previous address I sent flowers to even though I made sure to change the address and last name of the recipient. Person I spoke to said they matched the name of the previous recipient which doesn't add up considering I used a Different last name on this order (name change due to marriage). Flowers arrived much later than anticipated and the delivery guy said they dropped in the car so the arrangement was messed up and much of the water in the vase was emptied.. This place charges WAY too much to have to deal with this kind of service.. Will be looking for other florist recommendations for the future.
Bonny M.
Highest quality products and service. I had sent an arrangement 2 weeks ago for my Grandmother’s birthday and walked in yesterday with a new arrangement for Valentines Day and her previous arrangement was still alive and thriving!
Samantha and her staff are wonderful, always exceeding my expectations. Samantha’s Gardenias Floral is the flower shop equivalent of “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium.”
Karen S.
I ordered a arrangement and upgraded to a more expensive level and the flowers did not have the quantity or quality I expected for the money spent.
Craig K.
Gardenia's always has terrific service and wonderful flower arrangements. I've used them many times and I'm never disappointed. My favorite florist.
Kathleen J.
This beautiful arrangement was so lush and fresh. Everything Gardenia’s makes is beautiful!!
Carolyn P.
Lovely, as usual! I never worry when I order from you, the recipient always has glowing remarks. You do the work and I get the compliments…..a nice trade.
Danielle H.
I purchased the arrangement based on what I saw in the photo. The vase was clear instead of a deep wine purple. The same was true for the Calia Lillie’s. Wine colored flowers were used instead of the beautiful copper color in the photo. Tiger lilies were. added which were orange and over took the arrangement. What I ordered is not what I received. If a florist is unable to get the flowers requested in time for delivery then the customer should be notified. An option should be given to accept a substitution or to wait for delivery of the original requested flowers. Communication is key!
Pryia D.
Absolutely loved the arrangement. Really brightened the recipient's day! Always great quality and service!
Thanks Sam
Naveen S.
I had chosen this particular arrangement because it symbolized something to me and the family who lost someone and to whom this vase was sent to. The so called "Sapphire Skies Bouquet" that was sent did not even have a sapphire color flower in it. I was an all white "sorry looking" arrangement. You didn't care about the trust that was placed in you to deliver what you represented on this picture. I totally understand that sometimes you may not have certain flowers in stock. But as a paying customer I expect you to call me as a courtesy and let me know that. No matter how busy you are! It was not right for you to decide on your own to send the flowers however you chose. I deeply regret doing business with you and next time will take my business elsewhere.
Manisha O.
Extremely disappointing. The flowers looked so different in pictures than what my friend received. I ordered a deluxe and yet the bouquet was so small.
Eleanora L.
The calypso arrangement was absolutely beautiful and fresh ~ just as the photo portrayed. I took the time to find a florist in the same town & zip code as the recipient hoping there would be no delivery charge, however that didn't work out. Other than that . . . I'm glad I used Gardinias Floral.
Alvin A.
Love the arrangement and most importantly my wife loved the arrangement. Recommend to upgrade to premium as it will make it more meaningful. Delivery was on time as well. Very pleased overall.
Rodney B.
The arrangement was cut pretty short. I would’ve liked it to appear slightly bigger but the arrangement was beautiful.
Kathleen C.
Unfortunately, the flowers did not look fresh and appeared a bit dried out. Also, the arrangement was smaller than I expected for what I paid.
Astry P.
Amazing service !!!! I placed an order at 9pm the night before and asked if possible for an early delivery insanely they made it happen. THANK YOU GARDENIAS TEAM !!!
Kana A.
Beautiful custom bouquet that went above and beyond what I requested online. Perfectly arranged flowers included my printed personal message and all the flowers matched the symbolism and color theme I was going for. Ready on time. Recipient loved it! Easy to transport and very reasonable price range. Definitely recommending to others.
Erin D.
Gardenias did a great job. The arrangement they sent was actually better than the picture that I picked on line. I will definitely use them again.
Tanya N.
Mom absolutely loved the arrangement - the flowers were gorgeous on arrival and still look just as good a whole week later!
Sheereen D.
Gardenias performed amazing as always. They went above and beyond expectation. The flowers were beautiful and just as pictured. Never settle for 1800 type flower arrangement services because the products are not comparable by any means.
Carol H.
The arrangement was the closest I have seen to what was on the website. It was beautiful.
Thank you !
Cindy W.
The actual product looks very different from what’s advertised on the website. It’s has less plants and flowers. Very dissatisfied.
Edmund O.
I bought the "premier " version of this plant which looked nothing like this picture. When I pointed this out to the owner she attempted to remediate the look with extra pieces most of which are not in the adjacent pix. I have used this shop over the years and this is the first time I was disappointed. Hopefully, the attention to detail is not slipping.
Benjamin Z.
A stunning, tasteful arrangement. I’m so glad Gardenia’s has a wide delivery range because their designs and quality are truly the best.
Anthony M.
It was a beautiful arrangement. I have ordered the "Designer's Choice" before, and my lady is never disappointed. Gardenias does an especially nice job.
Marisha W.
The Designer's Choice option was excellent - Thank you! I could not have chosen a more beautiful arrangement. My friend loved her flowers - She said, "they are gorgeous" :)
Kathleen W.
Flower selection was spot on! "Premium" size was lacking for having upgraded to the highest category.
Stephanie K.
The birthday flowers were just gorgeous, my aunt loved them, the tulips were perfect, as is everything from Gardenias. I have now ordered 3 times from them and will use when I need to send flowers in that part of the town. Thank you for making the special occasions even more with your flowers..
Stephanie K.
Shelley M.
Beautiful arrangement, and all in blues as we requested, as congratulations for new job in water conservation! Thank you as always, glad to know we can turn to you with confidence. Shelley Mintz
Naomi K.
We were so happy with Gardenias Floral! The website was easy to use with lots of options, the prompt delivery was greatly appreciated & my mother-in-law loved the arrangement!
Christopher D.
Beautiful bouquet and chocolates, at a great price, delivered right on schedule. It made my mom's day!
Carol C.
My artist sister said you did a nice job with the flowers and they are in a spot where my mother can enjoy them.
Theresa H.
A real bowl of joy! Beautiful and creative- the hanging greens were substituted but still worked
Alexander E.
You guys did an outstanding job with the arrangement and very timely delivery on short notice for Valentine’s Day. I’m very impressed with how easy the setup was, and with how well the execution went. Thank you!
Adam B.
I've gotten flowers from Gardenias often over the past 4 years for birthdays, anniversaries, etc., and every time the flowers die within a couple of days. This time, again, some of the flowers withered within 24-48 hours. I do cut the stems and change the water as recommended. I paid $90 for these Valentine's day flowers and they looked beautiful, but only for a day. I expect all the flowers to live longer than this.. I am very disappointed. I like supporting Metuchen business as a resident here, but I will not longer be a customer of yours.
Leah R.
My daughter lives in Metuchen and has received many purchases from you. They have always been beautiful. You did a great job as usual on this order too.
Thank you.

I've been ordering from Gardenias since prom over a decade ago and with every new city I move to, I can always count on Gardenias to send my family beautiful flowers. They have a huge selection available online and are flexible with swapping out or adding additional specific flowers with your order.
Stephen G.
I have used Gardenias numerous times and have always been very happy. The arrangements are always perfect, and the quality of the flowers is fantastic. I would highly recommend Gardenias for all your florist needs.
Daisy C.
Every year I send flowers to my neice and everytime they a beautiful. Very reliable establishment. Highly recommend.
shelly l.
I live out of state, and just went online. The flowers were beautiful, and my sister loved them. I don't kno were all they deliver in Jersey, but will definitely use them again!! Oh yea delivery was within 2hrs of less of order.
Lawrence r.
It was so much smaller tgan I expected. More like $29.99 not over $55. Will not use this florist again. Will stick with Scotchwood Florist in Scotch Plains. They are amazing
Vanessa A.
Disappointed... I know arrangements can be a little different from what’s on the website but this was a total different one
Danielle L.
Based on the description and the price of the arrangement, I expected something fuller and more like the photo. The compact arrangement I received was unique but not what I ordered. Gardenias is a very good florist. I was looking forward to something better.
Charles M.
Both the service and the arrangement were excellent. I could not be happier or more pleased.
Having ordered the Christmas Swirl arrangement from out-of-state and not knowing anything about
Gardenias Floral, I was a little concerned but not anymore.
These people are the absolute best and I will definitely be using them again. You won't go wrong if you choose Gardenias.
Bonny M.
Perfection! Gram was delighted with her Christmas flowers. They are always so fresh and fragrant. Gardenias has the highest quality flowers I’ve ever seen and Samantha’s designs are extraordinary! Seriously, have you seen her Christmas tree??? Martha Stewart, look out!
Susan T.
Was so easy to order! Got a call the arrangement was beautiful. Thank you for putting a smile on someone's face!!
tommy s.
the delivery was earlier than requested and nobody was home at the time the flowers were left on the step in the cold
Judith T.
My 96 year old aunt was the recipient and she said they were ggorgeous! They made her very happy. We will be using your florist again! Thank you!
Allison L.
Absolutely beautiful display was sent to a very close friend who loved the arrangement. Thank you so much for making her birthday special
John E.
Thanks, Outstanding, just what I expected. Hope you are able to survive this crisis. Metuchen has always been supportive when needed.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Judy W.
The flowers and service were excellent as always. Thank you once again for your kind and professional service.
Donald S.
Super design coupled with rapid delivery and great price made this bouquet a great buy! My wife wife and I have been using Gardenias since our wedding 4 years ago and they always come through big!
Mary H.
The arrangement was delivered on time and was exactly as pictured -- even better. Gardenias never fails to make beautiful arrangements no matter the occassion.
Stephen H.
with tax, tip, delivery charge,e flowers are beautiful but expensive. IF I buy from them again, I will pick up and save two of the three.
Joseph K.
I was extremely disappointed in the flowers in fact shocked was more like it-
The bouquet was small and
Limited in assortment-
Very very dissatisfied
Pria D.
Beautiful flower arrangement the recipient said the blooms were big a beautiful and so fresh. I always get the best flowers from here.
Alicia P.
The flowers are beautiful and delivery was great! But the vase we got was a clear vase not the aqua one in the picture and that is one of the reasons I picked that arrangement!
Alyssa M.
This is the second time that I've used Gardenias to send a funeral arrangement. Both times I chose the peace lily. Both recipients loved it, and couldn't stop commenting about it.
Delivery was prompt and handled well!
Gardenias will definitely continue to be my go to florist in the area.
Cristina M.
Beautiful Peace Lily Plant -delivered the same day as I ordered- pleasantly surprised it was much larger than expected. Thank you !
Anthony M.
I was unsure as to which arrangement that I would get my girlfriend. So, I left it up to the Designer's Choice. She was absolutely delighted with the flowers. Whenever I order at Bloom Nation I always try to use Gardenias Floral. We are never disappointed.
Patricia A.
Ordered online with Gardenias Floral in Metuchen, NJ. Website was easy to navigate, I placed the order within a few minutes, and received an email confirmation.
I spoke with the florist on the day off, he was so courteous and friendly.
I saw a picture of the flowers after they were delivered and it was exactly the same. A wonderful experience, thank you so very much.
Patricia, NYC
wynne k.
Sent these flowers to my sister in law for her birthday. She loved them and sent me a picture of them and I will say they were even prettier than the picture on the site
Edgar G.
I was disappointed in the arrangement for two reasons. First, the arrangement did not contain a single tulip. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the seasons in which flowers bloom but I found this arrangement by specifically navigating to the tulips menu on your website. If tulips were not to be included, a simple call or email notification would have been greatly appreciated. Second, several of the flowers in the arrangement were withered.
Janet F.
When another friend lost a parent, I reordered the same arrangement; arrived very fresh and well arranged, with prompt and friendly delivery. Glad I ordered from you again.
IBTIHAJ M.
Will never order an arrangement during a pandemic ever ever ever ever ever again. Refund?!
Patrick G.
Bought this flower arrangement on-line for my Mother on her birthday. She loved the flowers. I was pleased with the on-line ordering process also.
Leanne A.
I was able to get a beautiful bouquet delivered the same day for a good price. Great service - beautiful flowers.
Janet F.
Quick, local same day delivery, my friend raved about the beauty of the arrangement and the quality and freshness of the flowers. Many thanks!
Donna B.
I knew I could count on beautiful arrangements from Gardenias. They were gorgeous and delivered exactly when I asked them to be. The quality and presentation of the arrangements never disappoint. Thank you!
Jonathan L.
My girlfriend absolutely loved the flowers that I got her for her birthday. Delivery was on time and bouquet arrived in excellent condition. Would definitely recommend.
Alexandra P.
The arrangement is beautiful. The bouquet arrived exactly on time. The delivery person was very courteous. It's not my first order and certainly won't be my last! Love this local business.
Debbie Y.
I ordered the deluxe and thought there would be some orchids like in the photo here, but the actual bouquet was quite different. There needs to be more description and feedback about what you will actually get, especially if you size up and pay more.
Pamela B.
It was great to be able to order online in the evening and get the flowers delivered the next day! She said they were Stunning and Amazing! Love your website - Thank you!!
Nancy L.
The flowers were very pretty but were not as pictured. The colors and the vase was different. I was disappointed that I was not asked about this prior to it being delivered.
Jacqueline D.
So happy with the convenience of ordering on line and that you delivered to Scotch Plains. I love being able to order through a local Metuchen business, especially one as wonderful as Gardenias. As always the arrangement was beautiful.
Rosann B.
What arrived was a far cry from this picture.
I DO like to shop local, but won’t be using your business again...but it DID have the bow...
Patrick G.
I bought the Make a Wish flower arrangement for Mother’s Day to be delivered to my Mother. It was delivered on time and she loved the flowers.
Erlyn M.
It was beautiful! Fresh and springy! My mom loved it. Peony was nice but not as big as the pics.
Erlyn M.
It doesn’t look very similar to the pics. Even the flowers are different. It’s just the colors were the same. Very little roses but the arrangement was beautiful nevertheless. My aunt loved it!!
Steven V.
They were exactly the same as shown in picture. Beautiful flowers and timely. Very satisfied
Suzanne D.
My sister in-law was thrilled with the arrangement. It arrived safely, and beautifully on time.
Bonny M.
Exquisite service and the arrangements are always breathtaking. The owner Samantha is the most artistic person I’ve ever known, if you want flowers that stand out from the rest, order from Gardenias. Absolute perfection.
Rochelle T.
Delivered on time. Received a call the day before delivery stating that the flowers may be altered a bit due to the high demand on Mothers day. Flowers arrived and they were as close to the picture portrayed. Overall experience was great.
donna m.
The flowers exceeded my expectations, they were gorgeous and my daughter was so surprised!!
Patrick R.
The arrangement ordered for Mother’s Day was beautiful and exceeded the arrangement in the picture in flower choice and balance. My wife loved it! Thanks as always for your artistry!
Jill B.
The flowers/vase were nice but it was much smaller than I thought it would be. I stepped it up to what I believe was the top tier so I was disappointed to see the size of the display.
Giulianna G.
My grandmother loves the mason jar! Even though it is bridal-esque, she enjoyed the lace and pink/peach flowers. I think it's a great elegant pick for Mother's Day or even Spring. Thank you once again for making her day! -Giulianna
Regina G.
Thank you for the beautiful arrangement that was sent to my Mother for Mother’s Day. She loved them! You always do a great job!
Bianca V.
I had and amazing experience with GardeniasFloral I placed 4 orders for Mother’s Day 2 for delivery and 2 for pick up. The delivery was done early in the morning and the delivery guy was so nice and professional when he called to let me know he was outside of each destination so that right there pleased me so much with their delivery service and then for the pick up service the ladies that helped me out where extremely nice and had my arrangements all set and ready to go . Overall their work is beautiful from the flowers they choose to the elegant way they present their flowers and their amazing customer service. Thank you so much for making Mother’s Day specially for everyone in my family that received your beautiful flowers .
Laura S.
Our daughter’s godmother loved the tulips! She said they truly brightened her day! Thank you very much!
Rosalind M.
Considering all of the issues created by the pandemic, Gardenias Floral did not disappoint. They delivered a beautiful bouquet on time. They did a nice job!
adam l.
Order did not meet expectation. The flowers delivered were not the flowers I ordered online.I contacted the florist to complain and they said they made me the wrong arrangement. How do you make the wrong arrangement. Its like ordering a steak and getting fish. They immediately sent the me the correct arrangement within an hour. Very disappointed in the correct arrangement for the price I paid. Looks thrown together and half assed. Forward ahead 1 day.... and the hydrangeas and tea roses are already wilted. I will never order from here again.
Ronald L.
While the arrangement was beautiful, they didn’t put the card with it that stated who it was from.
Matthew K.
Very easy to order on the website. I also needed an arrangement for a grave site and had to call the store, and they were very helpful and accommodating with my request. Both orders were lovely.
Patricia R.
Flowers were sent to my 95 year old aunt for her birthday. She said that they were beautiful. She loved them. Will use your florist whenever I have to send flowers in your area. Thank you
dmitry o.
Thank you for the on-time delivery and the overall look of the bouquet!! Mom's loved it!!!
Arnie S.
I ordered flowers for my sister who lives 3 hours from me. They were sent on time and beautiful.
Great to know Metuchen has a wonderful florast.
Joanne K.
Not only are the flowers fresh and arranged beautifully: The service is excellent
We can always count on you!!
Joanne
Elizabeth A.
I loved that there was a same day delivery option. The Smiley mug that served as the base was so well loved by the recipient. Beautiful flowers!

My friend who received this for her birthday was absolutely delighted! I always trust Gardenias to deliver on time and to bring joy to the recipients
Todd P.
Gorgeous bouquet. Thanks for the good work! She really loved them and they’re lasting a nice long while, still being enjoyed.
Paul E.
As always, very happy with the arrangement. First time we've ordered on line and we really appreciate the ability to do so. Good luck during this very challenging period for everyone, including small businesses.
Kathleen J.
Gardenias did a wonderful job!! I sent numerous arrangements for Easter to my friends and family, all of whom sent me a photo - they were all lovely and cheered everyone up so much during quarantine. The flowers were fresh and beautifully arranged. Thanks so much to everyone at Gardenias!!

Thank you so much for making such a beautiful arrangement. My sister and I wanted to surprise and brighten our mom’s day as she has been keeping us smiling with her texts everyday during this stressful time.
We’ve used your florist many times and you NEVER disappoint!
Thank you again!
Christine B.
Flowers arrived arrived on time, as requested. The arrangement was more beautiful then pictured on the sight.
Will highly recommend Gardenias.
Christina K.
My mom said the bouquet was absolutely gorgeous! Gardenias did my wedding bouquets; they are always so helpful and do such beautiful work. Thank you!
Gina T.
The order looked exactly like the picture! The flowers were gorgeous and fresh!! Really brightened up my mother’s birthday! Thank you!!
Judy W.
Thank you so very much for helping me figure out the best arrangement to send, and for delivering it so quickly. My friend's Mom and family were overwhelmed by how beautiful and large the arrangement. You really brightened her day during a difficult time. We can not thank you enough.
Joel M.
Very pleased with both the bouquet and the service. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.
NICHOLAS S.
The flowers my wife received looked nothing like the picture that you have advertised. It was a beautiful arrangement but not as full as you the picture perceived to be. The price was costly. The arrangement that she had recieved only had about 6 Roses and other types of flowers. The arrangement that was sent to her was absolutely nothing like this picture. I was disappointed, she loved but if she saw the picture on your website and what she recieved she would think otherwise. I had ordered many flowers in the past and have had high expectations but this time this was disappointing.
John K.
Placed a gift order for an edible arrangement for local delivery at 1:10 on a Saturday and it was delivered by 3:15. Thats outstanding. I wasn't there for the delivery but I believe the recipiants were very happy with it.
Edith K.
Arrangement was very beautiful (a little smaller than I expected) but, it was gorgeous. Many compliments. The arrangement arrived on time which I was thrilled about. I'll be back!
Thank you again.
Hannah L.
Beautiful, modern floral arrangement. And when I called from out of state with a question, Gardenia's staff helped me clearly and efficiently.
John E.
We have lived in Metuchen for over 65 years and support local businesses. Diane loved your arrangement, even though the pumpkins were missing. Thankyou and expect our continued business. Bill ( John Errickson )
Monika A.
The product i ordered is totally different from what i got. I have picture of the product I received. Flowers were different, vase was terrible. I will never order from this place ever again
Conrad W.
Gardenias do beautiful work and make always make the delivery despite any obstacles. Never disappointed when I order from them.
Cristina L.
The flowers were beautiful and my aunt loved them. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 was that there were no hydrangeas in the arrangement like it shows in the picture. They were my Pop-pops favorite and he grew them so they have a special meaning for us.
Dawn M.
I haven’t personally seen arrangement, but heard the arrangement is beautiful, buds in proper condition to open and excellent communication. No issues whatsoever. Would not hesitate to use again. Thank you!!
Regina G.
My Mom received her Mother’s Day flowers yesterday and she loves them! You always do a great job. Thank you!
Constance C.
Ordered online and was very pleased. A friend recommended Gardenias and although I couldn't personally go to the shop I was not disappointed. I will defintely order again. The beauty of the arrangement and the customer follow up was great!!!
Charlie L.
Gardenia’s is amazingly fast and reliable: they had a bouquet I ordered beautifully arranged and delivered within 2 hours!
Justin F.
Always first class arrangements! They did not have a basket to accommodate my requested arrangement size so they called me right away with an alternate suggestion instead of just making the change on their own. The staff is always pleasant and professional. Highly recommend Gardenias!
Barbara C.
I send flowers to my daughters at school — both are teachers. Gardenia is always so helpful and delivers gorgeous arrangements. I love working with them!
Jacquelyn M.
I was extremely disappointed. The arrangement was missing a good portion of what is pictured, different flowers were added that my recipient does not like and it was not as full as I imagined based on the picture for the price-not worth even $50 but I spent over $80. Very little color and a few of the flowers were wilted upon delivery. The ordering and delivery were great but you can find that anywhere. Shop Rite provides better bouquets on any day for a quarter of the price.
Jack M.
The arrangement was more beautiful than the photograph. The shop was well kept and attended to by the staff even on the day before valentine’s. My wife loves the flowers!
Jose P.
The delivery does not reflect the arrangement in the image. They delivered red roses. If I wanted to gift red roses I would have used an online retailer and saved 33 percent. This is disappointing given the number of orders I have placed with them. I think it is time to find another florist in town.
Christopher P.
The arrangement that was delivered differed from the image of the arrangement I selected. I understand that’s due to which flowers are avaialable at this time of year, but the selected substitute flowers made the arrangement look cheap, like a grocery story bouquet. I opted for the deluxe upgrade, but it didn’t look like $50 worth of flowers at all. Definitely not thrilled. All that said, the flowers were fresh.
Perhaps next time I’ll work with Gardenia’s directly versus choosing from the website.
Brenda D.
This is the 3rd year in a row I have used Gardenias Floral to send flowers to my mom for her birthday and as in the past 2 years the flowers are beautiful and my mother thrilled. There are several florists in the town where my mom lives but I had been less than thrilled with the flower quality and their delivery service. So happy to have found Gardenias!
Barbara M.
Satisfied with what was sent but it didn't look nearly as pretty as what was shown in the photo on the website.
RICHARD W.
Wonderful and beautiful. No better place to send an arrangement or flowers to someone. Simply my favorite!
Lorysha W.
Love, love, loved the bouquet I ordered for my best friends birthday!! I ordered pink wax flower, pink roses, million star baby’s breath wrapped in cellophane and tied with a bow. I ordered a $70 bouquet, sizing was perfect and delivery was quick. Also customer service was quite refreshing!

Alexandria F.
I was so impressed with the flowers. I was also impressed at how quick it was delivered the next day. Not even 24 hours after purchasing the flowers.
Janet G.
Was a bit disappointed in the quality of the flowers. Viewing began at 1 pm, delivery was well in advance.. but many of the flowers were wilted already... not what I expected at this price point.
Suzanne D.
Was delivered on time and just as beautiful as the picture. And most importantly, the family also thought the arrangement was beautiful.
Barbara C.
That was a gorgeous arrangement we sent my daughter to celebrate a promotion. Thank you so much for your creativity!
Shirleen R.
Beautiful bouquet, just like the picture, although I had to pay extra for "deluxe" in order for it to look like that. So it was a little overpriced, but it showed very well.
Jessica K.
Lovely and beautiful arrangement, as always. Thank you, You made my mom's birthday very special.
Robert C.
Flowers were as beautiful as pictured above. They were also delivered in the morning as requested. Thank you.
New Comment 6/10 @ 11 am - now I’m disappointed as more than 1/2 the flowers are bent over & on their way to the trash. Didn’t even last 48 hours.
Tyler K.
Not only were the flower HAND-DELIVERED (meaning not in a box upon delivery) but they were also the most clean/fresh flowers I have received. Very pleased overall with the experience. Recommended to anyone in the local area!
Barbara M.
I ordered this arrangement for Mother’s Day. It arrived looking exactly like the website photo and my mom loved it. Thanks again Gardenias.
Joan R.
The bouquet was beautiful, just as shown in the image on their website. I appreciated their communication via email and by phone. And the arrangement was ready at the time promised. I will gladly use them again. Thanks!
Rosalind M.
The florist did make some substitutions but what was delivered was absolutely beautiful.
Gareth H.
I live in CA and a close friend of the family passed away in NJ, I did not know any florist in the state. I chose Gardenias Floral because of the reviews and the easy to navigate website.
I got an email conformation of delivery and I was told by family members that the flower arrangement was very nice... I would highly recommend them.
Patrick R.
Excellent service. The flowers were delivered on time and were good quality with beautiful colors. would definitely use you again.
Deborah M.
I can always count on them to deliver fresh, imaginative, and on time arrangements! Love this florist!
Paul K.
High quality roses for sure. I purchased the premium upgrade but I don't feel that it was necessarily worth the extra $$. Better pictures to see what we are getting would be nice.
Jose C.
As described (in fact exceeded expectations) and quick on-the-day delivery for an overseas purchase. Many thanks!
Loretta M.
She loved the flowers balloon and teddy bear. It brightened her day after a bad fall! Teddy bear to hug ❤
Rosemarie S.
Mary Jo was very pleased with my choice, and your execution of the order. Thank you so much.
Patricia M.
I ordered the super size. It did have many flowers but the carnations were not red. The diminished contrast in the colors subtracted from its appearance. Also the pine cones were way too large. Overall it was a pretty arrangement and delivered right on time.
ARJAY V.
My wife loved the arrangement. I go to Gardenias regularly and they always go above and beyond my expectations. I've seen how they prepare the arrangements and they are very meticulous and thoughtful during the whole process. My favorite place to get flowers.
Nancy C.
Once again you did a fabulous job!! My friend was “over the moon”!! I’m so happy you are in Metuchen.
Kelvin C.
I spend 130+ dollars on getting the biggest bouquet, not only did it not look like the picture the amount of flowers looked like I spend 50 dollars. To top it all off the flowers don’t even display like they do they don’t stand on their own as advertised. I’m extremely disappointed in this.
Pamela M.
My selections of flowers and vase were out of stock so the owner called to have me OK her choice of substitutes. My sister- in-law was delighted with the arrangement!
james t.
You never fail at the best quality of flowers. Arrangement was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for another amazing job well done.
Lauren C.
Beyond pleased with this gorgeous arrangement! Such accommodating and friendly service too! Will definitely be using Gardenias again. Thank you!!
benito p.
always beautiful never had a bad experience these guys r true artists they use flowers instead of paint to create a masterpiece txs
Barbara g.
Thank you so much for such a beautiful arrangement She said
It was wonderful. It is
Always hard when ordering long distance but u outdid yourself. Thank u again.
Barbara C.
I send flowers to my wonderful daughter about once a month at work. Always from Gardenia. Always in the name of one of her favorite famous people — last month it was Desmond Tutu. Yesterday it was Stephen King. She always sends me a photo with the card prominently displayed. Geeks!
But the flowers are always beautiful.
Thomas S.
Absolutely beautiful, would recommend. It was too big or to small and the flowers were fresh.
Michilene H.
I was very pleased with this arrangement and with the timely delivery. Will definitely use Gardenias Floral again.
Saubhik C.
Overall item was really beautiful, and delivered on time. A small suggestion would be to improve the Greeting cards quality. My wife could not differentiate between the Ad and the message/information which I had sent along with the Bouquet. But its OK, we loved the flowers!!! :D
James T.
Once again you made a beautiful arrangement. I only use your shop due to the fact I am never disappointed. Thank you for such great customer service.
Gheorghe L.
I was waiting for a reply, that's why I waited with my review. I wanted to be as fair as possible. I guess it is fair now after no answer..
Samantha, did this order deserved a 0 star review? Probably not, but in the end it was your decision to have this review. For handling customer service the way it was handled, I cannot believe that you are the owner of this place with such an attitude. Instead of working with people, you are just trying to find excuses. I am not saying that you were wrong, but you gave me only false information over and over. Good luck with your business in the future. Hopefully you will know how to handle business, people and customer service in the future.
Just an FYI, dry flowers after 3 days and with this price, even cheapest place can offer flowers that last more than 3 days!
james t.
I love Gardenias. Always great arrangements. I highly recommend Gardenias floral. the Best. Thank you.
Todd K.
Listen, I recently ordered the "Pink Mist" arrangement, and I truly couldn't be more pleased. It was unbelievably beautiful and looked even more stunning in person than in the picture. Every time I have ordered flowers from Gardenia's the arrangements have been as unique as they are aesthetically pleasing. Seriously, if you want to look far more creative, considerate, thoughtful, and artistically-inclined than you actually are, let Gardenia's do the work. They're amazing!
Muhammad M.
Too small for the price. Will not purchase again. Plus they spell the recepient name incorrectly
LISA H.
Your flowers are always beautiful.My mother-inl-law is always pleased. Delivery is always on time.Thank you for always being amazing. As always a great experience.

Barbara C.
Sent a beautiful vase of spring to my daughter at work. She was thrilled and do was I. And -- I do like to spend my money in Metuchen!
Laura H.
Our mom had people stopping by her desk all day complimenting how beautiful her birthday flowers are.
Mom brought them home so she can enjoy watching them blossom and keeps finding a new flower she hasn't seen.
Thank you for always doing an amazing job even with an online order. We know you bring smiles to so many. Thank you!!
james t.
I am always grateful for gardenias floral shop. You always do a fantastic job. Delivery man was great and flowers are great guality. I look forward to future purchases.
Alexis C.
Was very easy to order. Great site to use. They were very prompt and did a beautiful job. I ordered same day delivery and there were no problems and they were really nice. Love their designs. Will definitely use them in the future!!
Julie D.
Beautiful flowers delivered in the time frame I requested. Great shop and lucky to have them in Metuchen!
Francisco P.

Service was wonderful and the delivery was right on time and the flowers were perfect! Thank you!
ARJAY V.
I love this place. Flowers were delivered on time and the arrangement was beautiful. I go here anytime I need flowers!
Fred B.
On line ordering worked great. Very happy with the arrangement and the delivery. Could not be better.
David P.
Very efficient and reliable online ordering process. I had to make changes via email and everything was followed and done correctly. Will definitely use again.
Bina B.
Love your service. I appreciate the fact that the picture was exactly how the bouquet was and I was very pleasantly surprised how prompt the delivery itself was. Will definitely return to you guys for all my floral needs.
CHARLOTTE J.
We sent the medium dish garden Planter as a sympathy gift due to the death of a co-worker's father. She really loved it! She said it was such a nice full size! Delivery was at a perfect time. Thank you so much for your quality service!
Samir B.
I got the notification that they were delivered, but there was no BloomSnap showing what they looked like beforehand.
ron s.
Great delivery, wonderful flowers and excellent CSR. I left complicated instructions and the store called me back to verify them. I like when the merchant goes the extra mile! I will use them again and is nice to support your local florist!
Karen s.
My friend whom I sent this to absolutely loved your arrangement! Her spirits were lifted by the bold, huge sunflowers. Gardenias never disappoints :-)
Jose P.
The images shared with me by the recipient of the basket were just beautiful. The arrangement was professionally prepared. I will happily use this florist again.
james t.
I will spread the word on how much beautiful work you do. I was beyond pleased. thank you so very much. james tracy
Tara K.
I have placed orders for delivery through Gardenias Floral at least five times. Always an excellent customer experience!
Karen G.
Easy to order online. Great confirmation process. And recipient loved the flowering plant. Thanks!
Jessica C.
The flowers were beautiful and the request to have no pink was granted. Any flowers that would possibly look like pink were replaced with other flowers that complimented the arrangement.
Tara Q.
Great customer service. They had a problem with delivery and called me right away and when they couldn't deliver it that day they delivered it the next day. The recipient said the flowers were beautiful. Overall very pleased!
Elvira M.
This arrangement far exceeded my expectations. It was so beautiful and full of flowers. Thank you Samantha! Everyone loved it and I am sure my sister in law in heaven was happy too.!!!!
Phyllis L.
The flowers were fresh and beautiful and the service was prompt. I will definitely return. Thanks for helping to make my sister-in-law's birthday a special one!
Matthew B.
The arrangement looked amazing. My wife was very pleased to receive these on her first mother's day.
Judy P.
Even with substitution policy, the floral arrangement looked very different from what was pictured in the website, from the flowers, to the arrangement, to the vase.
Bart C.
My mother loved the beautiful flowers you arranged and delivered for Mother's Day! Thanks for the prompt delivery, reasonable prices and smooth website experience.
Ana L.
Purchased these flowers last year for my mother and this year (2016) for my Godmother. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL flowers, and always great service and prices! I would definitely recommend Gardenias Floral to anyone! and this arrangement is beautiful in person!
Samantha L.
Though my friend loved her flowers, the arrangement she was sent looked nothing like the picture :( I loved the soft colors of the orange/pink but the arrangement she received had fewer orange roses and pink flowers than shown (though I ordered the medium size) and it was filled in with small purple flowers that totally changed the look of the display :/ the lace was also much different and looked like a ribbon was just tied around the jar. She was surprised and happy so I am as well, but was disappointed she wasn't sent the beautiful arrangement I had expected and loved for her.
Lynda R.
Beautiful flowers but next time call before you attempt delivery--as I requested. Someone went without calling and no one as home. Had to come back.
Veronika W.
I am very pleased. I honestly did not expect it to look exactly like the picture. Its gorgeous and the family loves it. Thank you for making it on such short notice. I will be recommending you to everyone. As my husband is a Boro Councilman, that's a lot of people :)
Veronika Wallace
Laura H.
My mother loved the flowers she received. She and others in her office could not get over how beautiful they are. This all made me happy as it was a same day order which i apologize for. Thank you for such wonderful service and amazing talent!
joanne m.
It would have been wonderful if the flowers I purchased, pictured here, bore any resemblance to the flowers received---big disappointment and totally over-priced for the substandard arrangement. The only positive was next day delivery.
melissa t.
Had been using them for years, but was just cursed out by the owner. They delivered an order a week early (owner rudely claimed it was all my fault--and it may have been--but to be so rude off the jump?), but while trying to have a conversation (I said are you effing kidding me--then apologized immediately for cursing) she let loose a string of profanities that would make a sailor blush-- then just hung up on me. I called back, only to be told more times to eff off , was called an a-hole, etc. I cursed at the situation, not at her--like she did at me. So charming in a person who supposedly delivers love and joy.
Must be really hard to be such a miserable person while surrounded with beautiful flowers. Must take work to be that big a pair of douchepants. Poor thing.
Take your business elsewhere. I like to support local, but this witch with a b will take your money and treat you like crap. Plenty of local flower shops to choose from. The one star you have to give is waaaaay to kind.
Edited to add, that she just emailed me with my order, just to be snippy, I guess. Got it you saint, you pillar of the community, you goddess, you misunderstood dearie-- everything is everyone's fault but yours. This world must be so painful for you to live in, what with people trying to have their flowers they just paid for delivered on the right day. Seriously...I'll drop off a box of tissues and a book of affirmations. Some day the world will treat you right, you poor widdle waif.
And by the way, the confirmation you sent after taking my money doesn't have the delivery date on it, or I would have called immediately, and you would still have the several customers you just lost because you had yourself a tantrum. Hope it was worth it.
Oh, she did offer to redeliver them for a $10 charge! Way to nickel and dime your customers!
I went into the store after work, and the male owner called me a cheapskate for the flowers 3 of us ordered for a co-worker's birthday. Better spend more than 60$, or do something even nicer for your friends, because that just wasn't enough for him. Why offer that price point if you don't want to sell flowers at that price?!
And then when I asked to be removed from their database (he refused), a yelling match between the male owner and I ensued, and HE THREATENED SEVERAL TIMES TO BEAT ME UP. YUP, good OLD VIOLENCE. Misogyny. Solves everything. A MAN WHO WANTS TO BEAT A WOMAN...over a flower delivery. He also told me he HOPES I DIE several times. That's what you're supporting with Gardenia's.
