Barb's Flowers

Nothing says "summer" like sunflowers and at the Marché Moncton Market, Barb’s Flowers’ outdoor display of freshly-cut flowers straight from Barb’s own garden truly exhibits all that is magical about summer flowers. An important part of summer at the market, Barb brings tubs of cut flowers to her delightful booth that consists of a display/worktable on which she weaves her own special fantastical web of magic - creating charming country bouquets and arrangements in such novel containers as the proverbial "little brown paper bag." Great for fresh floral accents for your home or cottage, they also make terrific gifts for family and friends at a fraction of the cost of more commercial flower shops. Indeed, Barb’s unique renderings come directly from the artistic eye and unusual talent of a nature lover who finds great joy in sharing her floral tributes with market-goers eager to enjoy some of summer’s simple pleasures. Barb’s talent is truly a gift from the heart, and the feeling of fun she exudes translates itself beautifully in the whimsical displays she creates from such varied blossoms as daisies, purple cone flowers, bee balm, flax, gay feathers, Spanish cross, bright orange Mexican sunflowers, speedwell, yarrow, and, of course, her trademark sunflowers all lovingly cultivated in her very own garden. Barb can work to custom orders as per customer demand, and she also creates lovely seasonal pieces. Watch for her fall displays with corn stalks, sunflowers, and pumpkins, and for Christmas displays in December.

Barb’s special garden is located at her home at 2683 Route 115 on the Irishtown Road. Drop by and experience the many wonders of her garden and choose from the wide variety of flowering plants there. Call her at 383-9435 or at 382-4291 for an appointment or visit her extraordinary booth Saturdays at the market and enhance your summer experience with flowers from Barb’s garden - enjoy!
