There is a new-ish business in Downtown Watkinsville that you may not realize has changed hands.

Petal & Pine is proud to continue the tradition of quality, creativity, and customer service that our community has come to know and trust from 70 years of Elizabeth Ann Florist. While the business now operates under a new name and ownership, it remains in Wendy's capable hands. A longtime Elizabeth Ann Florist employee, Wendy is dedicated to carrying that legacy forward while bringing exciting new ideas and offerings to the experience.

In addition to the beautiful floral designs and gifts you've always loved, Petal & Pine now offers custom sandblasting, custom woodworking, local art, small-batch soaps and body scrubs, specialty gifts for Father's Day, and much more. Guests are invited to relax and enjoy the new coffee station, comfortable seating, and complimentary Wi-Fi while they browse.

Petal & Pine is also proud to serve as the Official Florist of the Athens Rock Lobsters, creating arrangements and gifts that help celebrate life's special moments throughout our community.

Whether you're a longtime customer or visiting for the first time, now is the perfect time for you to stop by and see what's new at Petal & Pine, where tradition continues to bloom.
