I can’t say enough about the Gift Garden! I just used them for my wedding on July 17, and I knew I had to write a review as soon as I could. Beth and Dwain are some of the nicest and most talented people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. There was a little confusion on my end with the number of centerpieces I had (we had discussed 10, but I accidentally gave them 11 the day before my wedding), and they were able to make 11 centerpieces without saying anything! Beth was able to incorporate a piece of my grandmothers wedding dress in my bouquet, once again on short notice. I got so many compliments on the floral arrangements throughout the night. I highly recommend using The Gift Garden for any of your needs!
The Gift Garden provided all the flowers for my wedding. Beth was very kind and professional, and has an excellent eye for design and flower arrangements. I had a wonderful experience and cannot recommend them enough!
I called The Gift Garden out of the blue this past Saturday after looking for a bouquet to send to my sister for her birthday and finding their website online. I called them and they were as nice as they could be, talked about what flowers were in stock, pricing and delivery. I placed my order for a Monday delivery and was absolutely thrilled by the beauty of the arrangement (my sister sent me a photograph)! They did a lovely arrangement-colorful and full of cheerful flowers to brighten up the day in a New England winter. My sister is thrilled and so am I! Thank you for making her special day terrific!
Beth and Dwain are amazing. Best flower arrangements around and always delivered promptly and courteous! The best part is the smell of the shop. My goodness its fabulous, you can smell it from the sidewalk. They have any type of gift for any occasion! Forever customer... Sabrina!
The staff were so very helpful, getting a beautiful bouquet to my father for his 80th birthday!! Thank you so much.
Excellent florist and always a shop full of so many neat things. Beth is great always a friendly atmosphere.
The bouquet I got from The Gift Garden is hands-down the most beautiful I have ever received. It lasted forever and the quality of the flowers was spectacular. The service is even better than the flowers- the couple who own the shop are unbelievably friendly and helpful. No matter what you are looking for they have it or will do their very best to get it for you. The shop has plenty of wonderful ready-to-buy gifts as well. I’ve been to other florists in town and this place blows the competition out of the water.
Having a wedding has not been easy this year, it seemed our plans changed every week prior. With only a week before my wedding day I contacted The Gift Garden to see if they would be able to put together some flowers. All I gave them was a picture and a description over the phone, the rest I left to them. I did not get to see the flowers until my maid of honor and I arrived at the event. When I was handed the bouquet my breath was taken away. It was absolutely beautiful. Everyone who was at my event and who has seen my pictures thought they were beautiful. Thank you to the Gift Garden for helping to make my wedding day special. I would not think twice about ordering from them again.
Beth and Dwayne were very accommodating we needed flowers for a family member she loved them so much her husband came back later and sight more flowers . They have the little boy with them freee balloons which made the little boys day awesome arranging talent and above and beyond customer sevice
Always a delight working with The Gift Garden. They go above and beyond every time!
I absolutely LOVE The Gift Garden! I could spend hours in this beautiful shop, and actually have on occasion! I’ve shopped for seasonal items and found unique gifts for all types of celebrations, even a few little items just for myself. Their flower selection is amazing, and their arrangements are magnificent! If you want to experience superior customer service whether shopping local or long distance, you will not be disappointed!
The only florist I’d ever turn to in Vermont, they’re always helpful, friendly, I consider them friends - even though I’m almost 3,400 miles away
I called Beth to make the flowers for my wedding in two weeks. As always she is accommodating and can do exactly what I asked. She is able to deliver the flowers the morning of the wedding so we don’t have to worry about getting them ourselves. I am sure they are going to look beautiful just like the flowers I have received from her in the past. I love Beth and Dwain and their involvement in the community! They are always trying to put smiles on everyone’s faces. I can’t thank Beth enough for doing flowers so last minute for me!Update: Beth made my dream wedding bouquet. I cant thank her enough!
Amazing people to work with. The most beautiful flowers and arrangements. I would recommend anyone for ant occasion to purchase from The Gift Garden.
I called the last minute to have flowers delivered to the Varsity Dance Team for their first competition by zoom and the Gift Garden was extremely pleasant and had the flowers ready and delivered within 45 minutes!!! Amazing customer service!! Thank you so much!
My wife and I are always amazed when we travel to Bennington and experience the Magic of the Gift Garden. It is truly like going from Kansas into Oz when entering the doors on Main St.If you cant find that unique and beautiful gift you are seeking at The Gift Garden... it simply cant be found.Perfect Floral Arrangements for Any Occasion especially Weddings, Aniversaries, Birthdays, Memorials... and of course Valentines Day.This Family owned business is operated by very dedicated, talented & super friendly proprietors (Beth and Dwain) and .... is clearly a Labor of Love 💘.5 Stars are not enough..
Beth and Dwain at the Gift Garden are my go-to people for flowers and bouquets, as birthday, holiday, and anniversary gifts for family and friends everywhere, for example, in NY, NJ, CT, and Scandinavia. Beth and Dwain always do a wonderful job with a personal touch, through their work and through their network of excellent florists both here and there. Im attaching a photo of the flowers the Gift Garden delivered for my wife on our anniversary last month. I rate The GIft Garden tops on my list.
Beth and Dwain at the Gift Garden are wonderful people to work with. Their passion and attention to detail is obvious. They have a beautiful store conveniently located with lots and lots of great gifts in all price ranges. The flowers are super fresh and they are exquisitely designed! They always keep up on the latest trends and styles. I highly recommend them to anyone!
Beth at the Gift Garden was fabulous! She designed the floral arrangement for my sisters wedding bouquet and table runner and they were absolutely stunning. The design was simple and exactly what my sister had hoped for. They delivered on time and everything stayed fresh through the summer heat! Thank you Beth! 💚
I HIGHLY recommend The Gift Garden for any floral arrangement needs you may have. I recently held a small wedding in VT and am so grateful to have found TGG. I am not very knowledgeable about flowers and arrangements, but Beth was so helpful and kind and patient with me as I tried to describe the ideas I had in mind. I wasn’t local, so I couldn’t meet ahead of time in person, but Beth was able to work magic over the phone and email. Beth knew the right questions to ask to help understand what I meant when the only description I originally gave her was “some kind of bouquet and table runner with greens and whites.” I did call a few different places in the area to feel out who would work best, and Beth was above and beyond the most gentle and helpful florist to work with. When the flowers arrived the day of my wedding, she had everyone in legitimate tears at how beautiful they came out (and originally I wasn’t even sure if flowers would be necessary for a small wedding!!) It was so much more than I could have imagined, they were so perfect and gorgeous and tied everything together. Beth was just such a delight to work with, I’m so happy we used The Gift Garden!!
The quality of the flowers are amazing! The communication and prompt service are stellar. They have helped me so much with friend’s Birthdays during this Pandemic! I have bought several for myself to keep smiling. I feel this is a wonderful service that is being offered and people should take advantage of it.-reasonable prices too!
Sent my sister a Fruit Basket..... my sister couldn’t say enough GOOD things about it. My understanding is that it was just beautiful and the fruit selection was outstanding.I just knew by the customer service I received while I was ordering it that I would be satisfied beyond my expectation!THANK YOU “The Gift Garden” for a outstanding gift for my sister
The Gift Garden is THE BEST place shop for all occasions in Bennington, Vt. You will find seasonal decor, celebration commemoratives, elegant keepsakes and dont forget the fresh cut flowers and FTD oders that you will find at the Gift Garden. My girls and I love to browse the Garden for no reason at all. Its our go to place each season or maybe just to find that special gift for a friend or relative. Beth and Dwain Wilwol have a beautiful business in Bennington so dont drive by The Gift Garden when you shop on Main Street. I guarantee you will leave with a special something to take along with you. Tell them Patty Dailey said to stop by.
I was having such a bad day and so was my mom (@ Bennington Health and rehab) and my grandmother (@ the Veterans Home)...Holidays are tough this year!!! Anyway...I called and they graciously helped me (them) out...This is why we shop local!!! I just know the flowers will brighten their day as their service brightened mine!!! Kindness matters!!! Thanks GIFT GARDEN :-) Beth
The care and workmanship shows in each piece that is created for their clients. The flowers are beautiful in color and in freshness. They take care in the delivery of each piece by arranging before hand the delivery time so someone is there to receive it, not just leaving it on a step for someone to find. The unique gifts of soaps and other country decor that are in their shop lures you to go looking deeper in the store. Treasures to be found abound at each level of the store. It is a very refreshening and friendly place to shop. I would highly recommend The Gift Garden to everyone in the area and also to those just passing through. You wont regret the stop!!!!
I had my wedding this past weekend at The Henry House and Beth did the most amazing floral arrangements! My centerpieces were beautiful and my bouquet was so stunning everyone loved it! I would definitely recommend The Gift Garden to anyone looking for a florist!
Absolutely a delight to work with. When you call to place an order you are greeted as a customer not an order. Beth & Dwayne the owners are helpful and friendly. I love to order roses for my wife. The roses are always fresh and vibrant. I could not imagine doing business with another florist in and around Bennington, VT
Absolutely love this place!!:) So accommodating with great customer service! They offer beautiful flower arrangements, home decor, plants, and more! You wont be disappointed! Check them out online or at their main st location! A definite must stop on your list while visiting the Bennington,VT area ❤😁
Beth and Dwain make an outstanding business team! Their store keeps expanding and changing with the seasons to add to their wonderful floral business. The flowers at the Gift Garden are always fresh, the bouquets and arrangements are beautiful and bountiful; Also, the commutation and deliveries are on point!
Thank you for the great job you did with the Christmas week floral delivery Dec 23rd/24th. The recipient loved the bouquet, including its many colors, and for the classy way you left notice of attempted delivery when she wasnt home (with a single flower and note to call for follow-up delivery).Ive had mixed experiences in the past trying to arrange for delivered bouquet with a cold call to a florist in a different state. From my initial phone conversation to place the order to the recipients happy response, this was a very positive experience. Thank you!
The Gift Garden is one of my favorite shops in Bennington. Not only for quality, beautiful arrangements each time I need them but for all manner of gifts - for others OR myself! I love everything about it - from the way it smells when you walk in to the delightful displays and wide selection - but most of all I appreciate getting taken care of by Beth and Dwayne! If you havent been - go! If you have - no time like the present to go again!
A wonderful spot in downtown Bennington. Lots of options and great customer service!
They were wonderful to work with, with very little time to spare, they came up with wonderful/gorgeous flower arrangements for our wedding. Also, made the process very easy and Stress free 😊. Will definitely buy flowers from them again and would recommend them 100%.
Looking for flowers for my wife, I called the Gift Garden and received the most courteous and personalized service from the owners Gayle and Dwain.Not really knowing what I was doing.... the suggestions made turned out to be perfect.Later the same day my wife received the most Beautiful flower arrangement ever.Needless to say... Happy Wife... Happy Life. Thank You Gift Garden beautiful
I had a chance recently to visit Bennington randomly while staying at an AirBnB w/ my girlfriend. I had called The Gift Garden (after a Google search) as I was hoping to be able to have flowers in the room as a nice little surprise upon checking in. When I called I spoke with Beth, the owner, who was extremely helpful when helping me to select the ideal display for what I was looking for. That process was very friendly and informative. Further, she agreed to actually bring the flowers and vase to the AirBnB itself and work with the staff there to make sure theyd be front and center once we got to the room!! I was very surprised with how easy she made the entire process. Finally, when exploring the Main St. of this little town, we found the Gift Garden itself. When I stopped to thank her personally I was able to meet Beth herself and had a great conversation and a laugh. We also met her husband and partner in the business. They both were extremely welcoming. Great, great choice!!!
The Gift Gardens flowers are absolutely gorgeous! They did the flowers for my wedding and for many family funerals. They are always very nice and willing to help when I go into their store.
The gift garden is the best! Beth and her staff are amazing people to work with! They always are available for any of your event needs or gift ideas! The quality of flowers are second to none!! Thank you Beth!!
I have rarely been to a place that was as friendly and peaceful as this. Dwain and Beth clearly care about the people who come there as much as they do the quality of the items sold. It just felt....peaceful there!
Ive been a long time customer of The Gift Garden. Ive always received the best quality and the quickest delivery. Thanks for getting be all the extra brownie points Beth!
Beautiful floral arrangements, and gift selection. Great scented candles! Owners are always helpful and friendly. A pleasure to do business with.
Awesome little shop in the heart of downtown Bennington. Amazing floral arrangements and great gifts. Beth is so kind and helpful!
They are always so nice and the floral selection is great and the gifts have charm...its the perfect place to pick up that special something for someones birthday along with a beautiful bouquet by Beth. Ive seen their wedding flowers and theyre gorgeous. Love going there and I always find a little special something.
Excellent selection of gifts and service is always kind! Such an asset to our downtown!!
Whenever I need flowers I always go the the Gift Garden. The arrangements are always beautiful, and I have never been disappointed, They also have a vast selection of gift items that are so unique that you cant help but browse every time you go in.
The gift garden is the best place to shop! Youll never find a good place to shop! Everything you need is there and they have the best customer service ever! :) :) :)
Always there when you need them, large or small orders and always beautiful flowers. I appreciate you ❤
Amazing store - great staff! Got my daughters graduation flowers ready same day - stunning arrangement - fair price!
The Gift Garden has a wide range of gorgeous flowers and gift items and provides excellent customer service. The floral arrangements are stunning -- perfect for special occasions as well as everyday enjoyment.
Best florist in town! Beth and Dwain do it all. So easy to work with, they are incredibly hard workers. Travel to find all the best variety in seasonal decor. They have great assortments of flowers year round with a great price and they are incredibly friendly! Choose Gift Garden ! You will not be disappointed!
Beth at the Gift Garden did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding. The Gift Garden had amazing prices and great quality! Beth worked with me to pick out all of the flowers and even let me make some changes as we got closer to the wedding. She was very responsive to my emails when I had questions and was always so helpful when I stopped into the store! Beth had the flowers we wanted to decorate the church with ready the night before so we could decorate that night rather than on the day of the wedding. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages were all absolutely beautiful. The flowers were so fresh and they smelled amazing!!! We are so glad we went with the Gift Garden for our wedding flowers and would recommend anyone to them!
Excellent customer service and beautiful floral selections. I use them regularly and have never had a single bad experience!
Fantastic flowers we always get the best here. -From Wanda and Wayne
The Gift Garden provides very personalized service. Their floral arrangements are beautiful, and they go above and beyond to help customers and provide what they need. I highly recommend them!
I have been a customer of The Gift Garden for many years now. We have been happy with the quality, freshness and designs of the flower arrangements we have sent to people. The personal touch Beth and Dwayne (the oweners) have is priceless. We will continue to order flowers from them because we can be assured we will be Satisfied.Judy Williams
I so enjoy popping in the shop often Ive become a familiar face Elizabeth will order something that will catch my eye and she also orders or will try to to get what I ask for.
Exceptional customer service, beautiful floral arrangements, great gifts, all served up with a smile. All great reasons for doing business locally. Its always easy finding that unique good item at the Gift Garden.
Beth did a great job putting together a beautiful arrangement for our daughter. We live across the country and cold not be there for her special occasion but she did an amazing job at expressing our thoughts and wishes with gorgeous flowers. Thank you very much!!
I refuse to work with any other floral vendor in the area. This family operated business has always done such amazing arrangements for me I wish I could attach photos of my most recent! Thank you for always making it a great experience!
Best flowers around! Great selection of products!
Friendly staff. Cozy and plenty of unique gifts to be found. Stumbled upon this little store but Ill be sure to return for Christmas gifts!
Great people friendly and customer oriented. A pleasure to do business with.
I love the gift garden. Beths flowers are fresh and long lasting and she does magnificent arrangements. I love the fact that we have nice conversation every time I go in. Her shop is lovely as well.
Nice place. Friendly owner. She helped me find a flowering plant for my kitchen table. Told me how to take care of it. I loved the little fabric birds scattered around the shop. Took home a white dove. I think Ill pick a different bird each time I visit.
Beth and her husband were great to work with! The flowers for my wedding were gorgeous. Communication was great, and delivery was on time. I would highly recommend
We chose the gift garden to do the flowers for my wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. I met with Beth and described what I thought I might like, and she was able to use my very vague descriptions-as I know very little about flowers- and she was able to create beautiful bouquets, corsages and buotonnières. They complimented the colors of the wedding perfectly! Beth was very easy to work with and good with communication, gave us an estimate during the first meeting and stayed true to it, and delivered the flowers on time with no issues. I would highly recommend using the gift garden for any well weddings in the Bennington area!
I wanna thank you for doing my flowers for my wedding October 20 2018 they were beautiful!! You did a wonderful job ❤️
Beautiful bouquet at a fair price. Flowers came out amazing and still look good a week later!
What a great place to stumble onto during our trek through New England. Not only do they have wonderful items but the display of them are wonderful. Obviously they are the masters of repurposing items. Loved! Loved! Loved! the shop. If you are happening through Bennington VT its a not to be missed shop.
I live many miles away from my mom. She loves flowers and for many years I struggled with other florists. After a little looking and research, I came upon The Gift Garden. I must say, their customer service, their product and their delivery makes dealing with them a genuine pleasure. Beth feels like a member of the family. My mom loves their arrangements, and they bring happiness for many days after she gets them. As far as I am concerned, I will do business with no one but them. They are exemplary.
Beautiful selection of flowers, plants, gifts and home decor. Can always find the petfect gift at Gift Garden! Custom flower arrangements for every taste.
A gem right in the heart of Historic Downtown Bennington. A beautiful shop that that has wonderful fresh flowers and many other gift items. The owners are amazing people that stride for perfection.
An amazing store at the heart of Bennington. Beth and Dwain are extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable.Whether its flowers, gifts or home decor this is the place to go locally. A wide variety for all styles and personalities.If youve never been to The Gift Garden, make it a priority. I wouldnt purchase flowers anywhere else in the greater Bennington area!
Recently received Flowers while at SVMC. I have to say, these Flowers were SPECTACULAR to look at and SO FRAGRANT! They are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!Great job!! Keep up the great work!
WOW!! Best kept secret in Bennington! Very unassuming on the outside, sauntered in and BAM! Beautiful selection of knick knacks, flowers and home decor in a very organized fashion. MUCH bigger than it looks. Pleasant owners went above and beyond for my purchase. Worth a stop!!
Have known both Mr. and Mrs. Wilwol for a number of years. Both of them work hard and are passionate about what they do. They are always putting there customers first and are willing to accommodate you in every way they can. Ordered a arrangement for my grandmothers funeral and Beth went above and beyond in making the arrangement, they were beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend the Gift Garden for all floweral occasions and for all other seasonal gifts.
I stopped in here to check out the gifts and was not let down! Such a great selection!
Thank you for the beautiful bouquet you sent to a family member. She was thrilled. Your flowers were beautiful!!
The Gift Garden was able to Express our Love ; through the Artistic Creativity of Flowers and Plants, to Our Family, when we were not able to be present. Thank You.
We used them for our wedding and couldnt be happier with the results! The flowers were even better then I imagined! They knew exactly what I was looking for even with my vague descriptions.
We used The Gift Garden for our wedding bouquets and boutonnieres and they did a great job!
Great atmosphere and gift choices also an. Excellent reasonable floral shop
Called from the road. Bouquet was ready to go when I arrived. Good price, friendly owner, beautiful flowers
I was extremely disappointed in my dads funeral flowers. I didnt get what I asked for and the other arrangements were skimpy. Never again!
