Petals and Plants

This summer, a new gift and flower shop will be making Sea Isle City its home! Petals and Plants, located on the corner of 50th Street and Landis Avenue, offers beautiful floral arrangements, house plants, and small gifts.
Although the shop just opened in May, it has already begun to offer beautiful arrangements. Owner Caitlin Gallagher, who has her own personal greenhouse, says a love of flora led to the formation of Petals and Plants.
“The inspiration behind opening Petals and Plants came from a lifelong love of gardening and growing flowers,” Gallagher says. “This passion extended into creating floral arrangements for people's parties, combining creativity with horticultural skills.”
In addition to the benefits of working two blocks from the beach, Gallagher also enjoys the creativity that comes with each floral design. “I love designing unique floral arrangements,” she says, “and exploring new ways to combine different plants and flowers to bring beauty and joy to our customers.”
Looking for the perfect graduation or birthday gift? Stop by Petals and Plants for a beautiful arrangement or find them at the Sea Isle City Farmers Market on Tuesdays from 8am-noon at Excursion Park.

Shorebreak’s marketing director, Kathleen Matthews, loves being a part of many families’ Jersey Shore traditions. “Everything really is baked with love, the staff is super close, and the customers become friends,” she says. “Whether your visit is for thrill, a special occasion, or just a daily pick-me-up, we welcome all locals and visitors to create memories while at the Jersey Shore.”
