Specialties

Nunan Florist & Greenhouses strives to continue an 86-​year-​old tradition of providing exceptional quality and value to customers. We know that our customers are our most valuable asset, and we dedicate ourselves to their total satisfaction. We work hard to ensure that all customers’ experiences with Nunan’s are exceptional. At Nunan’s, we also strive to maintain and strengthen our position as a leading flower grower in the region and country. Most of our plants are grown on-​site in our own greenhouses. This makes our plants hardier than the competition’s because they are perfectly acclimated to our local environment and are not exposed to damage during transportation, like many plants at the big box stores. We have never forgotten our core values: exceptional quality, value, and customer service. These key tenets are the secret to our success.

History

Established in 1917.

Albert D. Nunan founded Nunans as a florist shop in Saugus Massachusetts in 1917. Later he relocated to Georgetown, MA. After a long and successful career, Albert passed the business down to his son, Ken, who worked the business for several years before deciding to pursue something different.

Bill Guerrini and Steve Flynn were friends of Ken’s and long-​time employees at a nearby wholesale greenhouse. When Ken mentioned he was considering selling the business Steve and Bill expressed an interest. Steve and Bill had worked together for 12 years and believed Nunans had great potential. A deal was made, a partnership formed, and an old business took on new life.

Since they bought the Nunans in 1985, sales have increased 40 times than what they were. They have also added more greenhouses (bringing the total to 20), a garden center, a large retail store and nursery.
