Our Story
Rooted in Iowa City, Growing with You
Down to Earth has been a quiet staple along Highway 1 West for years — the kind of shop where you're greeted by name and someone always remembers how your mother likes her roses. We are a family-run florist and gift boutique serving Iowa City and the surrounding community.
Our passion is simple: helping you express what matters most. Whether it's a last-minute birthday bouquet, a wedding centerpiece, or a sympathy arrangement meant to speak when words fall short, we pour the same care into every stem.
We source seasonal blooms whenever possible, arrange each bouquet by hand, and take the time to understand what you're looking for — because the right flowers can say so much more than you might expect.
What We Offer
Thoughtfully Arranged, Just for You
Every arrangement is made fresh to order — no presets, no shortcuts. Tell us the occasion, and we'll craft something that fits.
Event & Wedding Flowers
From intimate gatherings to full wedding celebrations, we design boutonnieres, bouquets, table centers, and ceremony installations that tie the whole day together.
Houseplants & Greenery
Low-maintenance succulents, statement monstera, trailing pothos — indoor plants selected for health and style, potted and ready for your shelf or windowsill.
Gift Baskets & Curated Gifts
Pre-assembled and custom gift baskets featuring local treats, candles, gourmet goodies, and of course — a fresh floral touch to make it extra special.
Sympathy & Memorial Arrangements
Compassionate, elegant arrangements for services and remembrance. We'll help you choose something that honors their memory with grace and dignity.
Corporate & Office Accounts
Weekly or monthly flower service for offices, restaurants, and event venues. Consistent quality, reliable delivery, and a point of contact who knows your space.
