bōtan

Little shop of flora located in Buffalo, New York. We at bōtan are seasoned florists dedicated to high quality work at an affordable cost. Our formula is simple.

We minimize expense by juxtaposing imported rarities with foraged and locally grown flora. We maximize the beauty of each arrangement through our careful compositions, inspired by combinations of Western and ikebana techniques. Our look can be characterized as "old world," but we remain contemporary through our many influences and continuous experimentation.

Whether it’s a vintage find or something from the back of your cupboard, we’ll help you turn it into something beautiful. Must be watertight 💦

Thanks to all the sculptors who came out last weekend for SCULPTURE CLASS ⚒️ It was a blast trying out a new form of class focused on not only vase but sans vase arranging— and all foam-free! 🌎🌱

And thank you for bearing with me as I tried to teach more complex mechanics. I'll never forget the collective gasp when I dropped the burrito. IYKYK. Hopefully, I redeemed myself in the end 😅

Join us for SCULPTURE CLASS on Saturday, May 30th at 3 o'clock in afternoon to learn professional, foam-free mechanics for floral sculptures.

If you've ever wondered how florists create arrangements that seem to emanate from the ground or defy physics, this is the class for you! If you're a DIY bride or groom looking to build arch pieces without blocks of microplastics, this is the class for you! Or if you're just looking to up the ante with your designs, this is perhaps the class for you. Only one way to find out.
