About The Virginia Florist

Family owned and operated since 1957, the Virginia Florist has served Alexandria and the greater Washington, D.C., area for nearly 50 years. Owners Kevin and Kathy Green were profiled earlier this year in My Generation magazine and recently featured on the cover of Floral Management (above), the national trade journal of the Society of American Florists.

Senior floral designer Shakeela Doskas (above) was named Washington's best last year in a citywide design competition. Born in Trinidad, she buys our flowers and ensures that we always have an exotic selection. Jacqueline is Shakeela's aide-de-camp, supported by Chieko, trained in Japan and a master of contemporary ikebana, and Brooke, a Virginian with a classic sense of style.

Skilled interior designer Anne Allen, helped by designing women Heidi, Craig, and Machele, directs our retail business, which ranges from fresh-cut flowers to highly imaginative gourmet/fruit baskets, unusual gifts, rare fragrances, fine art, selected American antiques, and (exclusively ours) one-of-a-kind teddy bears clad in varsity letter-sweaters from the local schools.

The Virginia Florist is absolutely committed to offering only the finest floral arrangements and the most interesting gifts, backed by service that is friendly and prompt. Try us and see!
