Bloom where you’re planted.
- and making their homes bloom beautifully is one way they’ve been accomplishing that. “Of course, with everybody spending more time at home, plants, and the feeling of bringing the outdoors in [has been huge],” she says. “Spending more time at home meant loving your home more and loving what you put inside of it.” Aside from memorable florals, Bloom House Flowers also offers a wide selection of home decor, including a selection of pillows, textiles, pots and an all-vegan and natural skin care line. Shoppers can also find an incredible selection of candles, made right here on beautiful PEI and Canada only. Its signature scent, Back Home Again, was
a “beautiful collaboration” with a small, family-owned company, says McIntyre. “We are supporting local to lift each other up.” For fabulous fresh flowers and arrangements at affordable prices—and a furry friend that will leave your heart smiling—visit Bloom House Flowers. “It really is just a magical little shop filled with charm, good vibes... and of course, John Denver,” says McIntyre.
A wise old saying, and one that Sharon McIntyre has taken to heart.
The owner of PEI’s Bloom House Flowers, McIntyre has been in the floral business for more than 30 years; a passion that swept her up and never let her go. “It just envelops you and it feels amazing being surrounded by the good plant and flower energy,” she says, the shop’s golden retriever mascot, John Denver, faithfully by her side. With the onset of the pandemic, says McIntyre, more people have been wanting to improve their living spaces
