Not even New York’s coolest residents can resist a classic bouquet or potted plant. Of course, in trendy Brooklyn, not-so-standard plant and flower shops carry more custom-made terrariums and sustainable arrangements than basic bunches. Give the gift of cool cred with a beautiful buy from the best plant shops and florists in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Billing itself as “modern organic,” Rosehip Social corners the market on hipster horticulture. Thanks to daring designs like “MOAB Mother of All Bouquets” and “Botanical Curiosity,” the floral design studio and retail shop has been featured by the likes of Brides Magazine and Style Me Pretty. With an emphasis on plants that thrive in tough lighting conditions, Rosehip keeps one foot firmly planted on its urban grounds.

Despite counting Chanel, VOGUE, and Macy’s amongst its clients, Lucy’s Flowers is, in fact, one woman’s passion project. After pursuing a global education in floral design, Lucy has come to rest in Williamsburg, where she creates custom weekly arrangements for hotels and restaurants, teaches classes in floral design, and maintains a perfect five-star Yelp rating thanks to her work with individuals and weddings.

Too much beauty, it hurts. Sticking to my principles of #buyinglocal as a #farmerflorist when shopping on 28th Street is a little like choosing a Paleo diet when you live in Eden. I have amazing respect for the talent for the flower growing abroad, in Holland, Ecuador and so many places… I hope that by sticking to my guns, it demonstrates demand. As we vocalize our interest in what the local growers have and what can they grow for us, we begin to see more colors, textures and varieties. Though I have to avert my eyes a lot or act like a weird stalker towards many of these foreign-grown beauties, I love that now my wholesaler friends tell me what I can't have because it's not locally grown. #handsoff #progress #kidinacandystore #localflowers #solidarity
