About Flowers in Flight

We are a family owned business that began in the spring of 1984 as the original
flower cart on Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon. For the first 20 years of
operation, the 3 founding sisters worked to elate and educate clients and recipients
alike with the beauty of fresh flowers. The popularity of the cart on the Square led to
another in the Portland Building and then a small shop at the Skidmore Fountain
Building . In 1988 we consolidated all operations to the historic George Lawrence
Building at SW First and Oak in downtown Portland which remained our home until
moving across the river to NE Alberta St. in 2015. The defining
elements of “flowers in flight” floral art remain simplicity, elegance and the unique
qualities of locally grown flora.
We are now in our 36th year and have for the past 15 years been owned and
operated by 2 of the original 3 sisters: Mary Anne Huseby, floral artist extraordinaire
and Pat Hutchins, plant expert and watercolor artist. Cheri Huseby-Jones moved with
her husband to Washington State where she pursues her other passion–public
education. Eight years ago Lily came in as the 2nd generation, spark of energy, needed
to round out the team. Lily Hutchins brings event planning expertise with a flair for
marketing and customer service.
We are a well established Portland area retailer who specializes in Exquisite Floral
Art. Our clients run the gamut both professionally and personally; from well known
national and local companies to Portlanders old and new . Our clients order weekly
arrangements for their waiting rooms, bright bouquets and blooming plants for their new
hires, small soft toned treasures for new babies, high style architectural lobby pieces for
office openings, centerpieces for holidays and parties as well as emotion inspiring pieces
from one loved one to another. Each piece that leaves our door is sent with a hand
written message on a print of an original watercolor.
