Evangeline’s Flower Hut where flowers bloom from the heart
N o gift can share emotion like flowers. They can express romantic love, thankfulness for those in our lives and show care in difficult times. Couple that with a shop and staff who are dedicated to personalizing those gifts for any occasion and you have something truly magical. “Flowers are always welcome,” Evangeline Loewen, owner of Evan- geline’s Flower Hut said. “They bring cheer, they show love and they model care for other individuals in their lives.” Since 2006, Evangeline’s has been an important part of sharing that love, and it’s a role they take seriously. Loewen said they create a variety of unique, modern and specialized designs ranging from traditional classics to contemporary, whimsi- cal and woodsy. Whether it’s for funerals, sympathy, weddings, anniversaries or any other special occasion in life, flowers are an important way to show love. Evangeline’s prides themselves on offering customers the very best. They work with the highest grade of roses, carrying Ecuadorian roses and the highest grade of other flowers as well. Quality is not something that will be compromised, and Loewen recalls when she first started out a local competitor sold roses for the same price that she had to pay just to bring them to her shop. Years later, that competitor is gone, and she said repeat customers notice the difference. What sets Evangeline’s apart is not just the quality of their product. It’s also the way they interact with the public, offering a personal
experience. “We want to really connect to our customers in a way that they feel cared for in this world where everything seems to be online,” Loewen said. Customers soon learn that Evangeline’s is a place where customized work is performed to the highest standards with creative arrange- ments carefully handcrafted and not prepared from a template. “The arrangements I want to create are intentionally designed and created… literally,” she said. A visit to the shop is also an opportunity to get something unique. One of the products they’ve added along the way are European hand tied bouquets, a technique adopted after an employee brought the knowledge with them from Europe. After nearly 20 years in Steinbach, they also continue with a strong commitment to community, featuring local artwork and hand-made products. They also offer honey and fresh strawberries in season from Frie- densfeld Honey and Berry Farm. Staff are all hand picked to offer innovative workmanship and design and also love to engage with customers. “Nowadays it’s such a cold world and to find loving human beings that serve you is special,” she said. Because customers come with a wide range of desires, Evangeline’s Flower Hut can help fulfill them all. Some may come in knowing exactly what they want, but often, Loe- wen said, they come in with photos, a budget or a simple idea.
