Directions Website

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.

Bring Your Own Vase (and maybe a friend) for an afternoon of flower arranging! We’ll cover different techniques and show you how to choose the best mechanics for the vessel you bring. 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 💦

For more information check out the link in bio.

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 😅
