Hilary Horvath Flowers in Bloom

In a place where things grow in abundance, flower shops can be found prolifically. However, some places of bloom stand out well from others. That seems to be my thing, finding the gems in a sea of more regular stones. Hilary Horvath Flowers on NE 19th (just off NE Broadway) is just such a place…beauty and simplicity abound.

I visited this wonderful, small flower shop on a whim the other day to secure some, well, flowers for a dear friend. Having been tipped off that this was a great spot, I knew where I wanted to go for my purchase. I was not disappointed. Immediately upon entry I saw copious, Gorgeous bouquet’s, all seeming to reflect a true artistry of arrangement. And what struck me so firmly as well was the staff, four ladies so firmly engaged in the craft of building beautiful bouquets I knew I’d come to the right spot.

Along with flowers for sale, a nice assortment of vases and locally-crafted pottery can be found at Hilary Horvath’s quaint, pretty shop. Image: Dan Meyers

At Hilary Horvath Flowers you are getting true quality with flowers sourced from local growers throughout the region. Owner Hilary Horvath had the following to say about where she gets these beautiful pickings:

We source our flowers locally, during the growing season. When winter is here we bring flowers in from other locales, but we source locally as long as we can. - Hilary Horvath, Owner at Hilary Horvath Flowers

Getting her start at a downtown Portland location, which ran for four years, Hilary Horvath Flowers has found its new home over the last three seasons in Northeast Portland. This location is highly accessible with easy street parking. No sooner was I in the door than I was warmly greeted and asked what I might be looking for. We discussed a rough budget and I also added a hand blown vase to go along. When asked what I wanted for flowers, I made the wise decision to leave it in the hands of Hilary herself. She built a beautiful bouquet as seen below, reflecting fall colors and berries that are currently in season. Needless to say, upon receiving the flowers, my friend was more than pleased :-). She said, “It’s like an English garden, not perfect, but wild. Wabi-sabi, the beauty of imperfection.” I clearly couldn’t have put it better myself.

Here is the beautiful bouquet crafted by Hilary Horvath herself, for me. Lucky me! Image: Dan Meyers
