General Info

Hannah Royer grew beautiful African violets on the windowsill of her home. In 1937, she began to sell these plants at a local garment factory and area farmer's markets in order to augment the family's income. As interest grew in Hannah's plants, so did the business... This fledgling enterprise grew through increased sales at area farmers markets and through wholesale of the flowers and plants to other retail florists in Lebanon and Lancaster County. As the retail flower business continued to grow, Lester retired from his teaching job to develop their retail flower venture by managing the greenhouses. Around 1945, following numerous requests for cut flowers, the decision was made to convert the two-car garage into a flower shop. The first flower shop was in operation! In these early days, Hannah did it all except deliveries which Kenneth Royer, one of her sons, did after school. The business grew for Hannah because she always worked to say yes to her customers. On several occasions, customers asked for special funeral arrangements to be made in shapes of horses or deer, and Hannah would always say yes, sometimes staying up all night to make the arrangement "just right". That legacy lives on today at Royer's flowers & gifts. We are always looking for ways to say yes to our customers' special requests and needs.

A Wonderful Experience

I live in SC and my grandmother who lives in PA passed. I was transferred to Royer's in Lancaster and with the help of the florist, I ordered a basket of flowers to be delivered to the funeral home from both my family and my sister's family. My mother, who is a harsh critic of florists, told me the flowers were too beautiful to describe. Royer's went beyond my expectations in making this arrangement so very special. Thank you Royer's.

Can count on them to deliver a beautiful product on extremely short notice.

Have used Royer's for over 30 years. Have received flowers from other shops and they don't compare. If you want the best quality and service, use Royer's.
