Readers' Choice: Favorite Florist

Where do you go to get your floral decorations?

Whether it is for Mother's Day on May 13, National Secretary's Day on Wednesday or just to make someone smile, there is no limit to the reasons people buy flowers.  As part of our next Readers' Choice Poll we want to know where you go to get the flowers. Sure you can buy flowers online or over the phone, but sometimes you just need to go in and see what the shop has to offer.  Here in Howell we have plenty of places to get that colorful creation from the long established shops to the newcomers looking to make a name for themselves. Some of the florists in Howell also stray off the Route 9 corridor providing their crafts for residents in all parts of town and the surrounding area.  Voting for your favorite places is easy. All you have to do…
