REED'S FLORIST

Reed's Florists Limited Originally founded in 1912 as a greenhouse grower, Reed's is a family-owned business that is very much a part of the local community. Throughout our over 110-year history, Reed's has always been a family business, and has had only 5 owners throughout that time... In 1912, R.B. Reed built greenhouses on Bloor Street in Oshawa. Together, he and his wife Nina grew flowers and plants for the churches and residents of Oshawa. Originally, deliveries were done with horse and wagon, but Reed's first delivery truck was purchased in the 1920's. In 1921, Nina opened a flower shop in Downtown Oshawa to help complement the greenhouses on Bloor Street. This store was located at 10 ½ King Street West. After the war, all three of Dick and Nina's Reed's sons came to join the business - Morry worked in the greenhouses, Henry in the Retail Side and Ted as Vice President. This led to the incorporation of R.B. Reed and Sons Florists. R.B (Dick) retired and passed away in 1953.....
