Thanks for your Gratitude

Best of Des Moines 20 Years in a Row!

by tomboesen on March 12, 2012

Boesen the Florist wants to extend a great big THANK YOU for voting us “BEST LOCAL FLOWER SHOP” by Cityview readers once again!  Tom and Frank Boesen and the team at Boesen the Florist are very proud and humbled to have won this honor for 20 years running!  It means the most because it’s voted on by YOU, the people of Des Moines.

When words can’t say it, flowers often can, and our readers realize that.  When searching for the words, they continue to choose Boesen year after year.  This is a local shop with national accolades, as well as a wall full of Best Of awards.

Boesen the Florist has been a family-owned and -operated flower shop in Beaverdale since 1923, with love of the business being passed down through FOUR Generations of Boesens.  The shops, expanded to include locations on Ingersoll and in the Downtown skywalk, are run by employees who are trusted as family and who care as much about the business and customer satisfaction as any one of the Boesens.

Throughout its operation, Boesen The Florist has always, and continues to invest in the most advanced technology available to the floral industry. Currently, a state-of-the-art floral online order entry and customer service system is in place to insure order accuracy. Boesen’s houses a 22-line call center, so customers can call and speak directly with a Boesen employee actually in the flower shop, rather than a faceless order-taker who isn’t even in our city.  Boesen’s stands behind its satisfaction guarantee – if you ever have a question, don’t hesitate to call the shop and speak directly with Tom Boesen himself and he will make it right for you.

In addition, Boesen’s is one of a handful of florists utilizing the most recent revelation in CO2 technology, the FloralKeeper™, to enhance respiration, refrigeration, bacteria control and ethylene displacement in all their floral coolers, increasing flower longevity and performance. As a result, Boesen the Florist is as well equipped as any florist in the nation to give customers the best possible product.

So thank you, Des Moines, for bestowing your trust in Boesen the Florist once again!  We hope to serve your flower and garden needs for generations to come!

Coaches vs. Cancer Hoops For Hope

by tomboesen on November 11, 2011

From time-to-time, we like to post letters and images from those that we’ve helped. Whether it’s a beautiful bridal bouquet or a holiday floral centerpiece, we’re happy that Boesen the Florist can help you “Make the Moment Mean More.”

Tom Boesen

Dear Tom,

Thank you so very much for your generous support of the American Cancer Society’s Fifth Annual Coaches vs. Cancer Hoops for Hope Gala on October 6, 2011.

Tom, Boesen the Florist’s generous in-kind sponsorship was essential to making our Hoops for Hope Gala a great success and is invaluable to our continual fight against cancer.  Without supporters like you, we would not be able to host the Hoops for Hope Gala.  We had approximately 275 guests in attendance.  More importantly, approximately $75,000 was raised to fund the mission of American Cancer Society. Thank you for helping with the centerpieces at the event.  They really made the room complete!

Thank you again for your generosity and support of the American Cancer Society’s continual fight against cancer.  We hope you will continue your generous support to the American Cancer Society, in particular, our Coaches vs. Cancer Hoops for Hope Gala.

With deepest appreciation,
Krista Walsh
American Cancer Society
Coaches vs. Cancer Events
