But we've now learned that Andover Flower Farm is back and relocating to

This comes as welcome news for the many dedicated customers who have come to know and love Andover Flower Farm and even more so for owner, Joanne Fiore, who looks forward to continuing to serve the community.

Fiore is thrilled about the move and is excited to bring the same level of high quality plants, attention to detail and personalized service that she and her long time assistants have been committed to in the past. Her own appreciation for all that Smolak Farms has to offer only adds to her excitement.

“I have always loved Smolak Farms,” she said. “It has such a great atmosphere. I am there every season with my kids and I have always thought how wonderful it would be to grow flowers there.”

Fiore is shooting for an April 1 opening - just in time for Easter. Her selection and tailored attention will be reminiscent of that for which she has come to be known. Knowing her customers, down to their preferred plant types and colors, is paramount to Fiore and part of what makes her craft so special.

When you visit Andover Flower Farm at Smolak Farms you can expect to find herb and vegetable plants with a Dr. Oz inspired reference as to their specific health benefits. And flowers of all kinds will be available with a focus on specimens that look amazing.

“Even if it is something that you may not be looking for,” said Fiore, “You will see something when you are in that makes you say, ‘Oh my gosh, I don’t know what that is, but I must have it.’”

In addition to what you’ll find when you are at the farm, Andover Flower Farm will continue to create custom planters. If you have a pot or window box that you would like filled; simply bring it to Fiore and she will transform it into a beautiful arrangement for your front steps, deck, window or porch. A mixture of herbs and flowers make these planters both beautiful and functional.

Plans for a cutting garden are in the works to include stemmed flowers and parsley and basil where customers can cut their own selection. More details on this will be made available in the coming weeks.

You may also look forward to the progression of Fiore’s signature mum crop which will be planted now in preparation for sale in the fall. What starts out as a tiny planting the size of your fingertip, will grow into an amazing full size plant, the size of a basketball.
