Gulleys Garden Center is now home to The Flower Bar, where you can shop grab-and-go arrangements or preorder bouquets. “It’s something new for us, but still something we’ve been involved with for over 50 years, so we know the demand is there,” says co-owner Megan Hunt. Florist Jennie Acklin approached Gulley’s with the idea and Megan felt “it was meant to be.”

“I can’t imagine anyone in the community that knows more about flowers and gardening than the Gulleys,” says Jennie. You can shop The Flower Bar during regular Gulley’s store hours. Want something different? Ask for a houseplant basket or, to match the name, arrangements in a wine glass. Online ordering is in the works, but for now you can stop in or call (910) 692-3223.
