Jean Bredin wrote this text in 2016 when we learned that the OG Flower Shop would not reopen:
“A favorite Rite of Passage in Ocean Grove has always been the profusion of colorful plants lined up welcoming Spring.
“You would forget about the cold, the snow, the grayness, the bleakness. The corner resembled the Paris flower markets. It was a destination. A place where you could be inspired.
Sadly, we will just have to imagine what it once was, and wonder if we will ever see it again.
