Readers’ Choice Best Florist: Dixon Florist and Gift Shop

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and according to the readers of Dixon Patch, is the best place in Dixon to pick up a bouquet of flowers for mom.

The readers of Dixon Patch have selected the family-owned florist as Readers’ Choice Best Florist, through their comments and poll votes.

“I feel very honored to be chosen best florist,” said Courtney Kett, who helps run the business along with her sisters Melissa Taylor and Dana Martin. “We try very hard to take care of all our customers and make it a fun experience for everybody.”

This year, Dixon Florist celebrates its 50th year in Dixon, Kett said. Her parents purchased the business in 1962, she said. This time of year is one of the busiest for the sisters, Kett said, with Mother’s Day and Promise Weekend at Dixon High School.

Around this time of year, the staff at Dixon Florist is also busy preparing wedding arrangements, Kett said.

“We are really known for having exceptional seasonal flowers,” she said.

Located in the heart of Downtown Dixon, Dixon Florist is hard to miss, with their colorful signs and light displays which are displayed throughout the year.

Take a look at what some of the readers of Dixon Patch said about the business:

"There is only one place to get flowers and beautiful gifts and that place is Dixon Florist."

"Dixon Florist, no contest."

"Yes, Safeway and Walmart sell flowers but they do not provide the friendly customer service, attention to detail, creative design, the willingness to go above and beyond, etc. that Dixon Florist has had since before Safeway and Walmart were even in town. I don't know anyone who has been disappointed with Dixon Florist."

Asked about what makes Dixon special, Kett said: “The people in Dixon are tremendous. I couldn’t imagine having a business and raising a family anywhere else. The people of Dixon are so generous and supportive, they care about one another and they are always there.”

Dixon Patch congratulates Dixon Florist and Gift Shop for being chose as Best Florist in Dixon. Take a look at all of the winners of this year’s Readers’ Choice categories.
