When Robert Winston and his teenage son, Maynard, first wheeled their pushcart of flowers onto Boston's fashionable Newbury Street in 1944, they could not have foreseen that this humble enterprise would flourish and grow into a widely respected New England business that would one day be named ñFlorist of the Yearî and a frequent ñBest of Bostonî award-winner. It was Maynard Winston who helped the business evolve from its pushcart beginnings to becoming one of the countryÍs premier florists. Under his guidance, Winston Flowers made its name in Boston as a forward-looking Newbury Street boutique with the best floral designers and a discerning clientele. He emphasized innovation, hard work and friendly service, and as the owner, would not hesitate to use public transportation or walk through Back Bay or Beacon Hill to personally deliver flowers to a client. Today, the third-generation, family-owned company run by David and Ted Winston is one of the nation's most highly regarded florists, with a worldwide online presence and seven shops throughout New England, including the one right where it all began, on Newbury Street. With more than 65 years of experience and a reputation for award-winning florals, memorable special events, breathtaking plantscapes and warm, friendly service, Winston Flowers is not only one of Boston's oldest florists, they are one of the countryÍs leading and creative designers touching clients in Boston, Greenwich, CT, New York and beyond.
