For over 121 years, our floral business has been growing and thriving! In 1900, a greenhouse in the center of a rough and rowdy mecca for lumberjacks didn't seem to stand much of a chance for survival, much less success. Our great-grandparents, Peter and Lena Philipp persevered - immigrating from Luxembourg full of dreams and determination, the young couple put down roots on North Brown Street in Rhinelander and built Philipps Greenhouse. Though the early years were tough, including a destructive fire that damaged the original greenhouse, Peter and Lena's business grew and began to thrive.

Forth Floral provide all the floral needs for my wedding and I can't recommend them highly enough! Every bouquet, boutineer, you name it, was BEAUTIFUL. We told them we wanted a seasonal, "wild", cottage gardeny style, and they totally delivered. As someone who really knows flowers, I was blown away by my bridal bouquet, and every matching piece! Stunning colors and textural combinations. They are true artists who know their flowers, and helped bring the beauty of fall flowers to our wedding. Thank you so much!

Such a cute flower shop! Walking through their greenhouse was absolutely magical, especially this time of year. They have an excellent variety of plants and everything you could need to care for them. They answered all of my questions about soil and succulent propagation, and I got everything I needed for my new terrarium. I'll definitely be back!

I was trying to order an arrangement for my aunt who was in a local rehab facility. I was having a few issues placing the order online so I called the shop. Amy was very patient and walked me through placing the order. Someone from the shop also texted me after the arrangement was delivered. If needed I will not hesitate to use Forth Floral again.

While inside the building is gorgeous and the flowers are lovely, you can't trust Forth Floral. We paid for and sent a gorgeous arrangement for an occasion through FTD since we live in a different state. I guess they didn't realize that we would actually be attending the event and seeing the arrangement. What they delivered was a much smaller version of the arrangement than we ordered.
We called FTD. They said that it was Forth Floral's fault and that some florists pull this sneaky little trick. I went into Forth Floral to complain. The person at the checkout desk turned and quietly said to the person in charge, "We have another customer complaining about the size of the arrangement she ordered through FTD." I demanded half my money back and received it. I'll never trust or use Forth Floral again.

I'm not very familiar with flowers and how much they cost but I think I might have paid more than necessary. We had a small wedding. Flowers included a small bouquet, a groom boutonniere, a flower crown, and lose flowers for me to make my own flower arrangements/table centerpieces. It all cost $520. It was a mixture of garden roses and regular roses as well as fillers which included a couple wild flowers, and 4 peonies.
It yielded for about 14 small pieces which included about 2 flowers each (See pictures below). I might be wrong about the price. But I was expecting more. I also should have clarified that I wanted mostly garden roses and no regular roses at all. My bouquet only had 4 regular roses which you can buy at a grocery store. I'm mostly giving them a high rating because Ruth was great to work with, my flower crown was beautiful, and the flowers were delivered as scheduled.
