Flowers for Lewiston, ME

Lewiston is a red-brick monument to the textile era — the Bates Mill complex and the canal system still shaping downtown, Lisbon Street running through the old commercial core, and the Androscoggin River separating it from its twin, Auburn, by only a couple of bridges. Maine's second-largest city carries a deep Franco-American history and, more recently, a large Somali and immigrant community that has reshaped its neighborhoods and storefronts. For a florist, Lewiston-Auburn functions as one delivery zone: the canal district and Kennedy Park downtown, College Street up to Bates, the dense Tree Streets, the Sabattus Street corridor, and Auburn's side all fall inside a tight radius. Central Maine Medical Center on Main Street and St. Mary's Regional keep a steady flow of get-well and new-baby orders moving, and Bates drives its own calendar of graduation, reunion, and move-in bouquets.
