"A thing of beauty is a joy forever!" - John Keats

French Ravine Nursery & Floral is a wholesale nursery and floral service business situated in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Grass Valley, Calif.

Owned by mother and daughter team of Gale and Katie Pylman, this business offers a charming blend of artistry.

On the floral side, Katie and Gale enjoy growing the cut flowers and greenery used to design bouquets for your business.

Offering a subscription service, they deliver a fresh arrangement weekly, comprised of foliage and flowers in unique vases. Their European country style design presents a warm and welcoming look for your business.

The nursery portion of the business incorporates both landscape and plants.

With a degree in Horticulture from CSU, Chico, Gale translates her knowledge into a special landscape for clients either at home or business.
Working with an existing yard and enhancing its layout and updating the look is her specialty.
