I visited The Artworks yesterday. What a wonderful, artistic store! I bought an item made right in Edmonton. So hard to find local products, but this is the place for it. The staff were lovely and very helpful, when I first spoke on the phone with them, and when I went into the store. It's shops like these that make me love downtown Edmonton. I highly recommend this business.

I was asked to get flowers for a coworkers family, this place i couldn't believe it! I gave my price limit and just askedfor a nice arrangement for the family as their loved one passed away. This place what a rip off! Gave 3 flowers for a $100 and their customer service was terrible! I strongly recommend you go else where....

On April 8th or 9th I ordered a bouquet of flowers from you for Easter. I asked only that they be long lasting and have lilies as I love the fragrance. You folks delivered a perfect bouquet that gave and gave. I cut the stems every three days and completely changed the water. The Gerbera daisies have carried on after the other flowers finally were finished. Thank you for such a wonderful bouquet. They continue to lift my spirits daily.
