Be Romantic, Be Creative

By LYNNETTE FORTH | For The Prairie Advocate News

With Valentines Day just around the corner, remember to stop by Country Floral’s two locations in Milledgeville and Polo for all a large selection of items. Being a family owned and operated business for the last four years, Norma Trotter and her daughter offer only the finest floral arrangements and gifts, backed by friendly and prompt service. Norma has been in the flower business for many years, having previously had the “Old Mill Store”, which offered silk flowers and arrangements.

Trotter said “I have always had a creative mind. I worked as a hairdresser for 29 years also. I just sort of picked up on the flower business. I took one class through Sauk Valley College, but just learned as I went along.”

Country Floral offers fresh flowers, plants, and gifts for birthday’s, Valentine’s Day, anniversary’s, get well, romance, thank you’s, new baby, sympathy, seasonal centerpieces, and weddings. On line orders can also be placed, but keep in mind that in order to ensure on-time delivery during the busy holiday season–like Valentine’s Day– placing your order at least one day prior to the major holidays is strongly encouraged.

Delivery is offered in the Milledgeville, Polo and surrounding areas, and also offer flower delivery nationwide through a network of trusted florists. Same day flower delivery is offered at no additional cost.

The staff at Country Floral takes great pride in creating beautiful arrangements, using only the freshest flowers in Polo. A large selection of plants and gifts baskets for any occasion can be found at both store locations. When you order from Country Floral, you can trust that your flowers will never arrive unarranged in a cardboard box. As one of the best florists in the Polo area, the staff at Country Floral gives each design the time and attention it deserves to create a gorgeous bouquet that is hand delivered straight to your recipient’s door, never in a box.
