It’s So Ranunculus
~ Blooming with Creativity
Get ready to be dazzled! When you walk into
It’s So Ranunculus, Marlborough’s
treasured florist, you are greeted by a
selection of unique decorating and gift items,
and beautifully displayed flowers of all shapes,
colors and textures. Next, you are welcomed by
Leah Miner and Craig Robinson, the energetic
daughter and father team who launched It’s So
Ranunculus in April 2006 and began a journey
that has already touched their valued clients
and their community in such positive ways.
When asked about the name
It’s So Ranunculus, Leah mentioned the
“independent nature” of the ranunculus flower
and the “inspirational curves of its stem.”
Both aspects of this flower truly help define
the unique floral arrangements created by this
talented and sought-after design team. “Many
times clients come to us because they want
something different, although they may not know
exactly what they want,” offers Leah. And
that’s where the fun begins: “Leah has a natural
talent to connect with the client, decipher
their needs and spin her creative and design
flair to consistently wow them,” beams her
father and business partner, Craig. The
combination of Craig’s business management and
administration background and Leah’s floral
design experience has created a powerful team
that shines with creativity and extraordinary
client service. Craig also credits his wife
Marla and their family, whose support and
encouragement make this journey possible and so
enjoyable.
The client connection is
key to the success of It’s So Ranunculus.
Customers seek out floral services for many
reasons: weddings, business events, church
services, funerals, or even a quick bouquet.
“What I am continually amazed by is the way
Leah engages the client to the point of
laughter no matter what the reason may be for
reaching out for our services,” offers Craig.
“Even in situations such as a funeral, Leah is
able to work with the client to create a
celebration that is personalized and helps the
client connect in a very unique and lasting
way.” He offers these comments as he observes
his daughter working with clients in the shop’s
consultation room, which is set aside for just
such personalized opportunities.
Not only is the client
connection important to Craig and Leah, but also
the opportunity to make a difference in the
community. As members of the Marlborough
Business Association, they believe in investing
in the town and making it better with each
connection they make. Their services are an
integral part of many businesses, churches and
the school in town, and they promote and seek
out local artists and small businesses for
displays in their store. In addition, the news
of their unique designs and focus on the
customer is pulling in business from many
surrounding towns and neighboring states as
well. A Newport, Rhode Island mansion was a
recent recipient of Leah’s creations as wedding
bells rang out along the Cliff Walk for one of
their valued clients.
If you have not already
done so, a visit to It’s So Ranunculus is
a must. Engaging in the creative atmosphere,
experiencing the personalized attention and
embracing the floral design talent will create a
positive and lasting impression. Leah and Craig
await your visit at 3-5 East Hampton Road in
Marlborough, the same shopping plaza that houses
the Marlborough Bakery, Pat’s Market, Body Works
and Taylor’d Touch. They can also be reached by
phone at 860-295-1562. You are in for a floral
experience that blooms with creativity,
personalized service and the celebration of
nature and design that only It’s So
Ranunculus can provide.
