Sherwood’s roots go almost as deep as the city of Claremont itself. Our iconic stone structure with its red tile roof was built in 1923 for the Sterling Oil Spray Company, which served Claremont’s endless citrus orchards. Though we’re located along Route 66, our building is actually older than America’s most famous highway by three years! Fun fact: The river stones that comprise the exterior are affectionately called “Claremont potatoes.” Sherwood’s unique facade is a reminder of the rocky soil farmers had to overcome in the late 1800s and early 1900s to develop southern California’s legendary citrus groves. When the area’s citrus industry declined, the building became Spiers Garage. In 1985, local entrepreneur Juan DeLira purchased the location and founded Claremont’s finest floral shop, Sherwood Florist, and a beloved cornerstone of the community was born. Local resident Sean Tao began training with Juan in September 2021, and acquired the business in August 2022 and maintains close ties with the DeLira family while carrying their long tradition of floral artistry forward. WHAT’S NEXT FOR SHERWOOD? Preserving the community that has blossomed around Sherwood through the decades is the most important thing for Sean and the DeLira family. There might be some changes on the periphery, but at its heart, Sherwood will be the same as it always was. Some of the new additions will include a gift boutique and small photography studio, so we can share even more of that beloved Sherwood taste and class. And speaking of “class,” we hope to soon offer floral design classes for folks of all ages! Do you have memories or photos of Sherwood Florist you want to share? We’d love to hear from you! We want to keep collecting stories from current and former Claremontians about their experiences with this amazing business through the decades.
In some instances, the florists’ photo may represent an overall theme or look and include a one-of-a-kind vase which cannot be exactly replicated. Although the actual bouquet may not precisely match the photo, its temperament will. Occasionally, substitutions of flowers or containers happen due to weather, seasonality and market conditions which may affect availability. If this is the case with the gift you've selected, the local florist will ensure that the style, theme and color scheme of your arrangement is preserved and will only substitute items of equal or higher value.
