Aztec Florist, Ewing Township

The employees at Aztec Florist shudder at the idea of casually stuffing flowers into a box—their arrangements are devotedly crafted and delivered by hand to Ewing customers or painstakingly shipped to houses nationwide. The family-owned-and-operated shop's emphasis on pleasant service matches its investment in variety, which is reflected by an expansive stock of bouquets, gift baskets, and plants. Blooms fit into the traditional categories of birthday gifts and romantic gestures, as well as simple themes such as Make Someone Smile. The Flowers in a Gift collection groups stems into unique containers, including a fire engine that rolls and repels hungry bees with a siren frequency that only they can hear.
