Let us give thanks. Let the flowers be cool....



We think of flowers the way sculptors do.
We can create floral artwork for your feast.

Let us know what we can make for you: a centerpiece for your holiday table, an entry piece to greet your guests or one of designed-to-order organic hand-tied bouquets to thank your hosts for their hospitality.

Special pieces deserve a little time, so please call us in advance to reserve your floral work for next week.

If you have holiday shopping to do, we encourage you to consider shopping local, and shopping Fair Trade. We have a lot of new Fair Trade certified gifts, jewelry and sports balls in stock at our Cedar Lane store.

Encke Flowers and Tiger Lily by Encke are both a part of the growing Fair Trade movement, featuring Fair Trade certified gifts and varieties of cut flowers. Fair Trade certification means that the flowers or crafts were produced in an environmentally and economically sustainable fashion – that is, it is good for the earth and for the people who do the work. Encke and Tiger Lily are currently the only retail florists in the NY/NJ metropolitan area who sell Fair Trade flowers. For more information about Fair Trade and Fair Trade certification, visit http://www.transfairusa.org/.
 
Happy Holidays!

Tiger Lily does theater, too...


You might not have guessed it, but we've got a bit of a background in theater. We just completed a set design for new production by the Garage Theatre Group, based at the Becton Theater on the Teaneck Metropolitan Campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University. We invite you to see "Billy Bishop Goes to War" opening this Thursday, October 29 at 8:00 p.m. This journey follows an otherwise ordinary guy from a small town Canadian town - kind of a screw-up, actually - who became the British Empire's most illustrious flying ace during World War I. His journey takes him from the back woods, down in the trenches, up to the skies, through the halls of Buckingham Palace, and inside the human spirit as he attempts to reconcile his love of flying with the horrors of war. This one-man drama with live musical accompaniment is one of the most successful plays in Canadian history.

Our set includes a replica WWI biplane suspended from the ceiling. (No, it is not made out of carnations.) Pictures to follow!
October 29 - November 15 (Thursday - Saturday, 8:00 p.m.; Sunday matinee at 3:00 p.m.)
