The Flower Mama of Elkins Park named Best Mobile Flower Outfit by Philly Mag
The Flower Mama, a boutique floral arrangement service in Elkins Park, has been named Philadelphia Magazine’s Best Mobile Flower Outfit for 2024. As soon as Elkins Park florist Maeve Gavin’s pearlescent green 1959 Volkswagen flower truck, Rosebud, rolled into town, it became the centerpiece of festivals, markets and private parties. (You may have seen it at the 2024 Flower Show.) Like all the best things in Philly, Rosebud blends quirk and quality. Gavin stocks her mobile flower bar with luscious — often homegrown — blooms ready to be combined into custom bouquets that thrive for weeks. Follow @the.flower.mama on Instagram to see where she’ll be next.
