Peggy Sirisky, Owner and Designer
I am a Charlestonian and I take great pride in the service and reputation of my business. I am a mother of 3 and grandmother of 4. I attended Bishop England High School, Trident Tech (associates in Business)after a few years in the restaurant industry, I decided to attend a floral/art design school in Atlanta. When I returned to Charleston, My Mother, Margie and I opened The Flower Cottage near the College of Charleston campus, on the corner of Wentworth and St. Philip Streets in a small 800 square ft. building owned by Dr. Joe Sam Palmer and his daughter Dr. Olivia Palmer. Working across from a famous and popular Charleston artist, John Doyle. Such a thrill to have the flowers he purchased from my shop in his paintings. His favorite was the blue hydrangea. The college students became my steady cash flow, selling roses to them for $1 a stem. Then after graduation they would come to The Flower Cottage for me to do their weddings flowers. From there, needing more space, I decided to moved to 281 Meeting Street. This location was very commercial looking, large and didn't have the "flower cottage" street appeal that I desired. My father, Charles "Buddy" Sirisky and I set out to find a "corner store" that would have the eye appeal of a true cottage. He contacted family friend, Mike Bennett, owner of many properties, "The Hotel Bennett" being one of them. Mike knew the owner of 31 Elizabeth St. and knew the owner wanted to sell....but to someone of his choosing. I met with Augustine Chrysostom and made an offer. The building was once a corner butcher store, "Costas", that my father used to purchased meat and groceries from as a child. It was now completely dilapidated, filled with pigeons, the windows covered with metal bars. There was a Bell South Payphone attached to the John Street side that was kept busy being used by unwanted and unsavory characters. I purchased the property. Blood, sweat and tears went into the 2 year renovation of my building. It was a family project, met with more issues than most people would tolerate. All the while still running and operating The Flower Cottage...I did not give up. This was recognized in the year 2000 by winning the famed Carolopolis Award. I was finally able to relocated The Flower Cottage to its home, 31 Elizabeth Street, corner of John and Elizabeth Streets in the Mazyck-Wraggborough neighborhood of Charleston. My neighbors, Bob, Vangie and countless others are always there to support my business. My house accounts include countless locals, hotels, restaurants, colleges, high schools, funeral homes, hospitals and professional individuals. With the help of a dedicated staff, I have continued to thrive through all the ups and downs of the economy, and now a world wide pandemic. My employees and I take pride in sending out the highest in quality, beautiful and always handcrafted flower arrangements. We take great pride in our weddings and events from downtown to the Islands. God willing The Flower Cottage will proudly serve Charleston and the surrounding areas for many more years to come. This is my passion. With tremendous gratitude, Peggy
