Periwinkle Flowers is proudly owned and operated by best friends Jessica McEwen and Erin Paterson. Both are fully trained floral designers, having completed their education in retail floristry at Humber College and Seneca College respectively. When you walk into their warm, bright, flower-filled store you'll be greeted by the friendly faces of a professional floral team. A fresh menu of featured designs can be found in store and online, changed regularly to reflect the season. From the hands-on proprietors to skilled floral designers and trusted suppliers, everyone is working together to ensure you receive fresh, creative and beautiful flower arrangements. Periwinkle's designs have been featured in Wedding Bells magazine, Canadian Living, The Jewish Tribune, Homemaker magazine and the Globe and Mail. Erin is a regular contributor to Snap North Toronto magazine. Both Erin and Jessica are guest blogger/floral experts on the wedding planner site www.momentsthatshine.com. Erin and Jessica were recognized as "pillars of the community" by the North Toronto Post for their charitable works and Periwinkle has been continuously voted "Best of North Toronto" by the Post. They were awarded second place in the nationwide Small Business Excellence Awards organized by Dell in 2006. Notable clients include Today's Parent magazine, University of Toronto and Sunnybrook hospital as well as many local event planners, designers, and brides. As a member of the community, Periwinkle feels it is important to support local charities and fundraising events in the area by donating both time and product. Each winter Periwinkle Flowers organizes a unique food drive with proceeds benefiting the North York Harvest food bank. In exchange for non perishable food items, donors receive a beautifully wrapped flower courtesy of Periwinkle Flowers. The next time you need flowers, pop by the store or pick up the phone. The Periwinkle staff is always happy to hear from you. |
