Potted Delivery | Tiny Park Flowers

Leave it to one of the city’s chicest entrepreneurs to turn her weekend hobby into a cool new business.  Ria Browne, best known as the founder of Mella, the flip flop and beach accessories brand, and more recently as a partner at Mayle, took a well deserved break from the world of fashion to pursue some personal passions including opera singing and shopping the flower market.

After sending her friends some of her adorable potted creations, the requests starting pouring in and Tiny Park Flowers was born.  For holiday Browne offered small potted amaryllis, cyclamen, paperwhites and mini evergreens housed in white or natural ceramic pots or vintage silver cups.

The winter season will feature mini orchids potted in silver julep cups, begonias and Browne’s current favorite, starburst hydrangeas, which have tiny buds and flowers that look like white stars.

Named after her original consulting company where she worked with clients, including hotelier Andre Balazs and designer Kate Spade, Tiny Park Flowers is a stylish (and affordable) option to sending cut flowers for a variety of occasions including birthdays, engagements and baby showers.

“I thought it was the perfect name because I only do potted plants and you can think of each one like a little park. They represent nature and I really do believe that surrounding yourself with greenery is very therapeutic.”

Prices start at $35 for a basic potted plant, $45 for a mini orchid and up to $125 for a large multi-stem orchid.
