Karens Flower Shoppe Gifts Beauty for Every Occasion

Karen Gallo obtained an Associate’s Degree in Floriculture from SUNY Cobleskill. Upon graduation in 1982, she worked at Nancy’s Country Cottage Florist in until December 1983 when  the untimely death of owner William Heinemann forced the shop to close. So, Karen struck out on her own and in February of 1984 Karen’s Flower Shoppe opened its doors on Main Street  in Cairo. She has been in that location for the past forty years. 

Karen and her staff create the freshest floral arrangements in Greene County.  We also  provide a wonderful gift shop featuring unique jewelry, delicious gourmet items, local products, silk arrangements and many  gift items for all occasions and all price ranges.

Karen is a member of Greene County Chamber of Commerce. Karen’s Flower Shoppe  has been voted Best Florist in Greene County since 2018 and Best Gift Shoppe since 2020. 

She recommends that whenever you need flowers delivered anywhere, contact a local florist directly rather than ordering through “Order Gatherers” on the internet. These companies offer arrangements at prices that are impossible to fill, they take their cut and give the remaining balance to a local florist. By ordering from a local reputable florist you know what types of flowers and arrangements are available.  You’ll get exactly what you ordered and save money in the long run. 

We have floral arrangements that express every season, but weddings and other important occasions are Karen’s specialty. We carry premium, fresh flowers and beautiful silk flowers. Here are comments from some of our  satisfied customers: 

“Karen is absolutely amazing! The bouquet and centerpieces she put together for my wedding were stunning. She really made my vision come to life.” − Ami H. 

 “Karen was attentive and came with us to the venue multiple times to understand the flow of events…She was flexible…enthusiastic…She has a fantastic eye…All of the guests remarked on how perfect the arrangements were…Her flowers lasted. We used them for the cocktail hour, ceremony, reception AND a BBQ the next day, outside! Many guests took the flowers home and they lasted well into the next week.” − Jodi R.
