Our story

HEY Y’ALL!! My name is Darcie Garcia, AIFD. I'm just a city girl who grew up through the wild and wonderful streets of the Big Apple, NYC. One day, amidst the concrete jungle, I had this incredible encounter with a single flower, and it hit me like a ton of bricks - flowers possess some truly magical powers! Life's journey, with all its ups and downs, taught me that flowers could mend a broken heart, even if only for a brief moment. I realized there's a kind of healing in every bloom, a divine gift from God.

Through twists and turns and a move to Pennsylvania in my teens, life got real hard, but I had FLOWERS. Tragedy struck my life… I had FLOWERS. I found myself leaving Pennsylvania and arriving here in Raleigh, NC. It was like destiny calling!! I embraced and fell in love with the Southern charm that I truly believe was meant to be my home. You see, down here, being NICE is not just a word; it's a way of life, and it's incredibly important to us.

Designed with Love

Our flowers are meticulously designed with love and care. We believe that the act of sending flowers is a gesture that should convey emotion, and we take this responsibility to heart. Whether it's a bouquet for a "just because" moment, to let someone know you're "thinking of them," a gesture to wish them a "get well" soon, or an elegant touch for a corporate event aimed at boosting productivity, we're here for it all. And let's not forget the most special of occasions, tying the knot – we're the florist you want!

Every petal, every stem, and every arrangement tells a unique story of love and appreciation. Join us at The Florapist, where we believe that flowers are not just objects but carriers of emotion and connection.

Let us be the bridge that helps you communicate your feelings and bring joy through the timeless language of flowers. Whether it's a simple gesture or a grand celebration, we're here to make your moments blossom beautifully.
