Flowers for Jamestown, RI

Jamestown is the island in the middle of the picture — Conanicut, the long green ridge you cross between the Newport waterfront and the mainland, tied to both by the Pell Bridge on one side and the Jamestown Bridge on the other. There is no third way on and off, which makes delivery here a matter of timing the crossing more than covering the miles. The town itself is small and walkable: the village runs down Narragansett Avenue to the East Ferry and the working harbor full of moored boats, the North End thins out toward the marshes and the Jamestown Bridge, and the southern shore rolls past Mackerel Cove and Fort Wetherill to Beavertail Lighthouse at the very tip, where the bay meets the open sound. The flower orders are village-scaled — anniversaries and birthdays to captains' houses off the harbor, get-wells crossing the Pell to Newport Hospital, and a summer wedding season that fills the bay-view estates and the fort overlooks.
