A third-generation family business, Maplehurst Florist began in 1943 as a small grower of spring bedding plants operated by Phyllis and Charles Houghton. As demand grew for cut flowers and arrangements, the business evolved, with Carl Houghton joining in the 1960s and now Jon Houghton managing the shop alongside his father. The florists create each arrangement by hand, emphasizing uniqueness and personal meaning. They offer flower subscriptions, gift baskets, and live plants, and provide care tips to help customers preserve their blooms. Their deep roots in the community are reflected in daily deliveries to institutions like Fletcher Allen Hospital, UVM, St. Michael’s College, Champlain College, and numerous funeral homes.
