Our "Furst" Blog!

   On a busy morning in 1905, Joe Furst, founder of Furst Florist, could be found in front of the market house with his flower wagon. A mural in the present store recaptures this scene.    In 1925 Joe passed on the business to his son, Bill Sr. after 45 years under his direction, the business passed into 3rd generation hands as Bill Jr. assumed ownership. Bill's Family brings us into our 4th and 5th generations as they take an active part in the flower business.
    Over the years we've met so many people and made so many friends. We've helped celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and sent hospital cheer, We've felt sorrow in the loss of a loved one, shared the joy of weddings and new babies. Through 4 generations we've grown with you.
