The florists at Doherty's Flowers bundle stunning bouquets, cultivate potted plants in the nursery and greenhouse, and supplement greenery with décor and gifts. Harness autumnal energy with a Sugar Maples bouquet, a kaleidoscope of fall colors writ in chrysanthemums, fiery orange roses, and seeded eucalyptus ($29.99). Doherty's also provides flowers for different occasions with its new baby, get well, U of I and ISU athletics, and UFO-sighting collections. Potted plants range from fuchsia violets to a pachira money tree, said to bring good fortune and prove that cold, hard cash does grow on office plants ($32.95). The green-thumb gift shop touts fusion candles ($20), reed diffusers ($26.99), and chlorophyll-themed totes ($9.99−$38).
Two-hour floral arranging classes train fingers to organize blooms, just as librarians do books, by size, color, and fragrance. Classes are complemented by wine and appetizers. After instruction and experimentation in pairing hues and textures, budding florists take home original arrangements and centerpieces to enliven interior spaces.
