Five years ago, Fleurish opened in Downtown Champaign

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since Downtown Champaign florist Fleurish has opened its doors in it’s current location. Earlier this year, I walked in for the first time to discover a world of flowers (and other trinkets) that I had previously never experienced, and that have apparently been in existence for half of a decade, making Fleurish one of Champaign’s best hidden gems.

Fleuish’s current spot was not their first, as they started initially in Urbana but decided to make the trek westward, taking over the space formerly occupied by florist Rick Orr (pictured above).

Some of you may also know the building as the current home of Bull & Dog Studio.
