Asrai Garden

Florist

I opened asrai garden in 1999. I was 23, had always enjoyed summers in the garden with mom and recently managed a retail flower shop. The first few years were spent in the trial and error of being young and having no idea how to run a business. I made all the mistakes you could possibly make and kept going because I absolutely loved everything about working with flowers.

Over time asrai became part of a community of makers and lovers, families, and friends. A little piece of magic was created by each customer that walked through the door, gasped, took a deep breath and smiled… by everyone whose beautiful product became part of our story and each employee that brought pure love and passion to their days here. The talent of the staff I have been continually graced with year after year inspires and amazes me.

Asrai is the space that brings together the people and beauty that make my life full of joy. I am told it brings something similar to others as they walk through the door. I suppose it is simply my gratitude and wonder on display.

    Kinda wish I lived here tbh. So eclectic - has everything from flowers to bondage gear to natural skincare products. Don't expect to buy anything without spending a pretty penny, but honestly just step in to enjoy the vibes.

    Have been wanting to visit and pick up some flowers for quite some time. Bought some flowers as a gift and they were beautiful. Highly recommend, especially if you want to pick up something unique!

    Elizabeth did a fantastic job creating our exact look in flowers for our wedding while staying within our budget. From bouquets to boutonnieres to table centerpieces, Asrai provided a cohesive look that matched our venue at Goose Island and The Dress. Could have not been happier. Message me if you have a question.
