We love using local flowers, dried and fresh, and local greenery. Our bestselling arrangements by far are the "Designer's Choice" series - both in vases and hand-tied bouquets. We are bespoke designers, so every design we make is custom made with you and your recipients in mind. Have a specific request?

Let us know! We now donate at least one Sunshine Bouquet a week; sometimes more! All Sunshine Bouquets are funded by donations. Do you know someone who could use an extra dose of sunshine? Call or email us with your nomination! Give a gift that keeps giving with a subscription to our beautiful flowers, delivered on a schedule of your choice.
Services
The Flower Basket has been delivering beautiful flowers and plants to Hardwick and surrounding towns for over 45 years. We source locally as much as possible, from purchasing colorful fresh flowers during the summer and drying them to use in winter arrangements to working with local growers and makers for gorgeous houseplants and gifts.
This is NOT a method of direct communication with THE FLOWER BASKET for purposes of ordering or rectifying problems. If you wish to get in touch with us please use our Contact Us page. We are taking orders and making deliveries, and are happy to arrange curb-side pick up for any order. Please note we can not currently guarantee same-day delivery, though we will do our best to meet your request!
Please feel free to call us at 802-472-3397 to talk about your design preferences, and how we can create beautiful arrangements to memorialize the departed.

Dear Nora,
We heard from our daughter Cathy Thomas and she was delighted with our gift of your Christmas flower arrangement that arrived today. It sure helps to send a bit of ourselves to Vermont, especially when we cannot be there in person. Thanks again for your creativity and service!

My grandmother was on vacation in Vermont and fell down the stairs and broke her hip. I tried several florists to get a bouquet sent to her in the hospital, but not knowing the area, wasn’t sure of where to start. Another florist recommended the Flower Basket to me because they didn’t deliver to the hospital she was in. The customer service was exceptional, she sound like an old friend. She was sympathetic to my needs and explained exactly what she could do to help. Not only were the flowers delivered the same day, but she sent an email with a image attached immediately after they were delivered
