Stems Floral Shop is a locally-owned business that for generations has been helping Central Albertans celebrate everything from birthdays to anniversaries and everything in between. Make it your go-to stop for really fresh, high-quality flowers.  They also have a terrific assortment of unique, one-of-a-kind gifts.  (See our photo gallery).

Did you know Stems also has a Café? Swing by for coffee, homemade soups, sandwiches, salads, and exceptional baked goods, all made in the store each day. The team takes pride in thinking outside of the box and will absolutely dazzle you with their friendly and helpful service and quality goods.

Stems has been serving the area for a decade now and their current location is a delight to both shop and have lunch.  It’s worth noting however that the business itself dates back to 1930 when Walter Good started Central Alberta Florists.
