2010: NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED

A new year and a new decade begin!

The 10th anniversary of our website marks a new beginning in our ecommerce with the launching of ReynoldsFlowersOnline.com.

Most obvious is the new look, but most importantly is the added shopping cart feature, previously unavailable.

If you ever found yourself a customer of ours, but occasionally ordered online at a national site (teleflora.com, ftd.com, proflowers.com, 800flowers.com) for ease of operation or after-hours purchasing convenience we now have an alternative for you.

Another major improvement is the "My Account" feature. You can now shop online and later return to your own unique account and retrieve previous shopping information such as addresses of people you have sent flowers to in the past as well as the dates of birthdays, anniversaries and the like.

The next time you need to send flowers in Middleboro, the surrounding area or anywhere else in the USA or Canada, please visit us at www.ReynoldsFlowers.com

The Dahlia Farm, Middleboro

Middleboro Gazette columnist and blogger Michael Maddigan, visits Middleboro's floral history this week in his "Recollecting Nemasket." Specifically featured: DAHLIAS!

One of the flower farms featured in his article is that of present-day Reynolds Flowers.

Continually cultivated since the first building of record in 1839, this site has produced sweet corn, potatoes, gladioli, seeds, herbs, blueberries, holiday crops such as Easter lilies & poinsettias, hardy mums, dent corn, and perrenial cutflowers. But it was EASTVALE FARMS (1920's-1950's) which made this site historic, when at their zenith they became the largest dahlia farm in New England.

Flower farming continues here today including even, yes, dahlias!

Be sure to read Mr. Maddigan's column (which can be linked to from this blog). His series has been one that is not only historically fascinating, but painstakingly researched and archivally unique in its focus.
