Flowers for Grants Pass, OR

The Rogue River runs right through the middle of Grants Pass, and just about everything about the town organizes around it — the caveman-era boosters who painted "It's the Climate" over G Street decades ago, the jet boats that launch upriver toward Hellgate Canyon, the anglers and rafters, and Riverside Park where the summer concerts and the arts festival crowd the banks. The town has drawn a steady wave of retirees for the mild weather and the water, which shapes the flower calendar as much as anything: get-well bouquets and anniversary roses run heavy year-round, and the summer stacks weddings at the upriver lodges and Applegate vineyards on top of the everyday sending. Deliveries fan out from the historic G Street core across the south-side neighborhoods, north to Merlin and the canyon road, and south toward Murphy and the Williams valley.
