With all of the conveniences of modern technology, do people still buy flowers? According to Dale Jones, owner of All In Bloom Studios in Clarkesville, the answer is yes.
“Every day, people are born. Every day, people have anniversaries. Every day, people die. Every day, there is some sort of celebration—a new home, a milestone. So therefore, flowers are essential for everyday deliveries,” says Dale.
Business is ‘blooming’
And her business is blooming. According to Dale, 2025 was All In Bloom’s best year yet, with 87 weddings and a host of Christmas decorations and arrangements.
“We are busy from November first all the way to Christmas. We are booked almost every day, Monday through Friday, decorating Christmas trees, homes, churches, event centers, and hotels,” she explains.
All In Bloom Studios began in 2020, with 2012 being Dale’s first attempt at entrepreneurship. That’s right—at 22, Dale pivoted from majoring in accounting at Lanier Tech to graduating from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College with a degree in landscape design.
After years of moving and reinventing herself and her creations, All In Bloom Studios finally has a home of its very own at 1325 Washington Street in Clarkesville. Shop employee Amber Gibson says, “We are so excited about the new location. We open on Monday [February 2] at 9 a.m.”
Not your average flower shop
With Ingles around the corner and online florists at our fingertips, what makes All In Bloom Studios unique? Take one look at their arrangements on TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram and the answer becomes clear. Thinking outside the box is Dale’s superpower. “I don’t want to be like the rest. I don’t want to be another cookie-cutter flower shop,” she says.
And just in time for Valentine’s Day, Dale has another surprise up her sleeve.
“We will have the first flower vending machine in North Georgia,” she shares. “We want to put them in local hospitals, and we’re working with the city to place one on the sidewalk outside my store doors.”
Within the next few weeks, those vending machines will be in Habersham and Stephens counties, and possibly beyond. Dale often receives frantic phone calls on prom day from people who forgot to order bouquets or last-minute Valentine’s requests. With these vending machines in place, the community will have 24/7 access to All In Bloom’s classic and creative floral clusters.
So yes, whether it’s for a partner, a parent, a friend, or yourself, a beautiful bouquet will now always be just around the corner, even at the last minute.
