Hello, I’m Annmary Boruchowski!

Florist and business owner of Western MA's Dandelion Florist stands next to a decorated arch piece.

I have been in the florist business since 1981. I graduated from UMass Amherst Stockbridge School of Agriculture with a degree in Floriculture. After years of appearing in Design Panels and managing a busy Flower Shop, I established "Dandelions" in 1995.

As a personal florist, I focus on catering to the unique needs of my customers, providing a personal touch that is often forgotten these days. I import only the finest florals from around the world (though I try to source locally whenever possible) to ensure the best quality for my clients.

When I’m not making floral arrangements…

I spend my time cooking, learning about other cultures through travel, and spending time with my family and two dogs. Some of the places I’ve traveled to are South Africa, South East Asia, many countries in Europe, and the Caribbean.
