“I have been overjoyed with the support of the community of Fort Macleod and surrounding area,” Jacqueline said. “I hope to be a vital part of the shopping that is available in fabulous Fort Macleod for many years.”
Jacqueline, who has long had a love of flowers, creating and decorating, saw the business, which has served Fort Macleod and district for more than 30 year, as a perfect fit for her.

The staff of Jacqueline, Joyce Widmer, Betty Hamilton, Alex Garrett and Chelsey Van Sluys use their combined experience of more than 30 years to create fresh and silk flower arrangements. They specialize in arrangements for weddings and funerals.
