After more than 50 years, The Little Red Barn is moving out of downtown Bluffton. While the florist no longer has a storefront, it continues to take phone orders and now offers free local delivery.
The full service florist shop offers fresh flowers, silk arrangements, plants, wind chimes, garden stones and angels, throws, wire-out service, and more.
The business is Bluffton's oldest flower shop and remains locally owned and operated. It was started in 1960 in Bluffton by Geneva Rammel and consisted of silk and fresh flower arrangements in an actual little red barn.
