Streetlevel: Flowers for Myrtle
Biking to work this week we noticed that a new flower shop has just opened at 471 Myrtle Avenue. Turns out it is the new Clinton Hill outpost of the Park Slope-based Root Stock and Quade. The storefront has a cool Deco-y tile thing going on, and the interior renovation of the store looks pitch-perfect…

I just walked down Myrtle last weekend and saw absolutely no shop, store or restaurant I had a desire to go into.
Not the case on Smith or 5th for me…
Actually Myrtle is becoming the next 5th Ave or Smith Street in Clinton Hill. Thank God, finally. I just wish it would move along a little faster.
i was in there last weekend and they are charging $20 for a small bunch of tulips and you can get better tulips at the farmer’s market on saturday for half the price. when will new businesses in the neighborhood (a la green grape provisions) realize that their pricing structure is way out of step with the rest of the neighborhood. just because they are offering a “new and different” service does not mean they have to price their product in the stratosphere. come on business owners – do you research!
“but wonder if Myrtle will be kind of the next 5TH Ave or Smith Street.”
uhh…not till they tear down the projects…
Does anyone know of a place in Park Slope that delivers bags of mulch??
I was *just thinking* we needed a classy flower joint in our neck of the woods. No offense to Jose, but sometimes carnations and dyed daisies don’t cut the mustard. He had some nice all-white irises today, though (minus the goldenrod or whatever that was).
Jose will still have his market. Not everyone can afford or is willing to pay for the products of a florist.
I think Stabucks has fifteen thousand stores and this florist has two stores. How is that even remotely equivalent?
I was in over the weekend and they were still setting up. No basic planting stuff out yet just flowers, plants and some accessories.
The outdoor back area wasn’t open either.
I think Myrtle is shaping up better than Dekalb as a goods & services area so far.
