Flowers by Hoboken in Rockland
Flowers by Hoboken has been a bright spot in Rockland for the past seven years, carrying on a family legacy that first took root with Hoboken Gardens in Rockport. Owner Lisa Farley and her small but mighty team of six keep this year-round floral and gift shop humming, whether they’re crafting last-minute bouquets for an elopement, delivering armfuls of blooms to yachts in the harbor, or designing wedding florals that feel distinctively personal.
“I went to school for business and marketing, but I’ve always loved the creative side of floral design,” Lisa says. That love shows up in the ever-changing shop, filled with fresh-cut flowers, candles, plants, and thoughtful gifts. From grab-and-go bouquets to customized arrangements, the team prides itself on being flexible and welcoming. “People don’t always know you can just pop in for a quick pick-me-up,” she adds. “You don’t have to order ahead.”
Customer service here goes beyond the counter. Lisa shares stories of carrying oversized arrangements down Rockland’s docks to deliver to visiting yachts, or re-routing wedding day florals at the last minute to calm a frazzled bride. It’s that can-do attitude that keeps loyal customers coming back, along with the quality blooms. “We’re very selective about what we bring in and how we process and care for each flower,” Lisa explains. “It really makes a difference in how long our arrangements last.”
From weddings and anniversaries to sympathy flowers and everyday surprises, Flowers by Hoboken stays busy year-round, handling around 7,000 bunches of flowers annually and creating designs that range from timeless roses to quirky, French-inspired Mother’s Day collections. Whether you walk in for a single stem or an elaborate event, you’re bound to leave with something that lifts your mood and lasts longer than you’d expect.
