Flowers. Local makers. Community. Thatโ€™s what youโ€™ll find blooming on Pico Boulevard at Synchronistic Flowers & Marketplace. ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Founded by Santa Monica native, Stephen Castro, Synchronistic Flowers is more than a neighborhood flower shop. Itโ€™s also a marketplace dedicated to giving local artisans, makers, and independent entrepreneurs a place to share their work and connect with the community.

And then thereโ€™s the Pico Pop Up! ๐ŸŽ‰ Through its weekly pop-up, Synchronistic creates opportunities for small businesses to get their products in front of new customers and build connections right here in Santa Monica.

You can also find them at the Santa Monica Farmers Market at Virginia Avenue Park, bringing flowers and local makers together at one of our favorite community gathering spots.

Of course, you can still stop by their shop for something beautiful to brighten someoneโ€™s day. ๐ŸŒบ And if you can't make it to the shop, you can order flowers online for next-day delivery throughout Santa Monica and beyond. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿš—
