Real ones know that Trader Joe's is arguably one of the most affordable and convenient places to grab a bouquet of flowers. But given the pandemic's devastating impact on small businesses over the past two years, it feels more important than ever to support local florists this Valentine's Day.
Here is an L.A. TACO-approved list, curated by our newsroom as well as our loyal readers, of florists to support. From MacArthur Park to East Los to Southbay and Long Beach, we’ve identified spots in all corners of L.A.
Highland Park Florist
If you’re in NELA, get your special someone a bouquet at the Highland Park Florist. This Mexican-owned shop has been around for a little over 30 years. The arrangements are beautiful and if you really want to impress, they do deliveries. Quick tip: Grab a jugo or a licuado from the shop next door, owned by the florist’s brother, you won’t regret it.
