What they do
Richards Florist and Gifts is a locally owned floral design and gift shop at 149 Main Street in downtown Farmington. Owner and lead designer Shannon Monahan took over the business in 2024 after years of working in local flower shops. Her love of flowers began while gardening with her grandmother, and grew through greenhouse work and specialized floral-design training. Shannon builds each arrangement around color, form, texture and a conversation with the customer, creating thoughtful flowers for weddings, memorials, birthdays, thank-yous and everyday celebrations. The shop offers fresh floral arrangements, plants, local delivery and a growing selection of Maine-made gifts. Careful flower preparation and hydration are part of its commitment to quality and long-lasting blooms. Regular published shop hours are Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM, and Saturday, 9:00 AM–1:00 PM; contact the shop for current availability and holiday hours.
