Special Somethings at the Union Square Florist Shop

For four evenings in September, the Union Square Florist Shop materializes in the lobby of the Union Theatre (currently the headquarters of the Velaslavasay Panorama). The storefront tableaux invites visitors to observe the day to day workings of a robust floral syndicate.

Master Florist Gladys Chantrelle Peckinpah specializes in celebratory bouquets,  memorial arrangements, funeral sprays and floral headdresses for debutante balls and society dances. The Union Square Florist Shop creates custom pieces filled with charm for special occasions year round or for simply the daily pleasure of gracious living.

The Union Square Florist Shop storefront can be visited from:

    7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

On the evenings of:

        Thursday, September 17th
        Friday, September 18th
