Please Welcome Our Newest Member, Florette / In Full Bloom!


Owner Rebecca Goldenthal has long dreamed of combining her garden design skills, her passion for plants and love of vintage finds into a shop and meeting spot in Rockport. With much success in southern Maine with In Full Bloom Container Gardens, she brings her style and service to the midcoast.


At Florette, she will be offering small garden design plans and garden consults. On the retail side, she will showcase plants, containers and other garden accoutrement and there will a vintage corner showcasing home goods, clothing and other related merchandise. This will be a beautiful, thoughtfully appointed retail location where gardeners, both avid and novice can gather inspiration, find community and purchase goods for their garden and home.


Soft opening this Friday & Saturday from 10am - 4pm at 16 Mt. Pleasant Street in Rockport and by appointment.
