Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, congratulations, or “welcome home”, flowers are the perfect way to celebrate any occasion. Fortunately for those on the North Shore, there’s a new place to get them that goes well beyond the average bouquet.
Now open in Northwoods Village, STEMS by Stong’s is a new florist concept owned and operated by the team behind Stong’s Market. The new STEMS focuses on three core elements: fresh florals, stylish succulents, and thoughtfully curated giftware, offering new ways to brighten up your home and celebrate the special moments in your life.
An elevated floral experience
“Our new STEMS by Stong’s invites customers to a place where they can gather and be inspired,” says Stacy Smith, Department Manager of STEMS by Stong’s. “With our new space, we can offer a personalized and elevated customer experience; our walk-in floral cooler showcases a stunning selection of fresh, local, and imported flowers, allowing customers to choose from a wide variety of blooms or pick up a ready-made arrangement.”
STEMS also offers its shoppers much more than well… stems. In addition to fresh flowers, STEMS by Stong’s includes a wide-ranging selection of housewares, premium chocolates, greeting cards, and giftware, making it the perfect stop (and shop) for any occasion.
Workshops and special events
Speaking of special occasions, one of the most exciting features of the new STEMS location is its interactive space for workshops and community events. “Our horseshoe floral design seating area is a place where we can connect with our customers,” says Smith. “We’re planning workshops, weekly floral demonstrations, and consultations for weddings and events, giving people an opportunity to learn and get hands-on with their floral designs.”
STEMS by Stong’s will also offer floral deliveries, subscriptions, seasonal arrangements, single stems, ready made bouquets, and much more as part of its services. You can learn more about STEMS by Stong’s and their offerings HERE.

This includes bringing in fresh flowers daily from local flower auctions and growers, with some particularly stunning options for fall, including “rich burgundy, deep oranges, and muted greens” according to Smith.
