“We’ve had a bride’s wedding and now we are doing the daughter’s,” Nancy Hook said. “That’s kind of cool.”The recollections are blooming now with the Hooks set to shut down the store and accompanying greenhouse on Oct. 31.The Hooks have seen many gardenias, tulips and roses in their time, establishing friendships with many customers along the way.
10 years later, George Hook bought the store and by 1975, David Hook was working full time at the store and the entire family lived in an accompanying second floor apartment. In 1993, David married Nancy, who had worked at a Wilmette flower store and since then the two of them have run the operation.For these nearly 30 years, the couple who live in Northbrook have created many arrangements for parties, wedding and funerals.
That sucks. We used to go there all the time when I was a kid. Mom always bought her flowers there.
