NYC's Flower District

Stretching between 6th and 7th Avenues on 28th Street, just slightly over a mile from StuyTown, the Flower District offers one of the busiest and densest concentrations of flower and plant shops in New York City's five boroughs. Inventory is pulled out onto sidewalks during the week, with everything from fresh flowers to towering ferns. Each shop is brimming with colorful displays, unique houseplants, and any type of garden accessory you could possibly need. Arrive early as some of these shops close after the AM rush.
