Flower World

Flower World Inc. is a long-established horticultural retailer and wholesale grower founded in 1968 and headquartered in Maltby, Washington. Originally established on a four-acre parcel, the company began as a wholesale producer specializing in bedding plants, fuchsias, and foliage plants distributed to regional and national wholesale markets throu... ghout the 1970s and 1980s. As local demand grew in the early 1980s, Flower World expanded into retail operations, eventually relocating its retail nursery business to a newly constructed facility on 196th Street SE in 1994, where it operates today. The company maintains a comprehensive retail greenhouse and display operation offering a wide selection of flowers, plants, shrubs, and trees to serve both residential and commercial customers. Flower World distinguishes itself through a customer-centric retail approach emphasizing self-service exploration and education rather than aggressive sales tactics. The facility is designed with clear layout organization, informational mailboxes with area maps, and extensive plant brochures to help customers navigate the expansive greenhouse space and make informed purchasing decisions. Signage throughout the property provides both educational and care information, helping customers select appropriate plants for specific locations and understand proper maintenance requirements. Visual displays showcase plants at various growth stages and mature sizes, enabling customers to envision how selections will appear in their own landscapes. The company demonstrates environmental responsibility through a plastic pot and container recycling program with convenient drop-off bins, and also accepts yard waste and horse manure. Operating seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Flower World serves the greater Pacific Northwest region with a reputation for quality plant inventory, knowledgeable resources, and a welcoming retail environment designed to accommodate both experienced gardeners and first-time plant buyers.Read More
