Brooklyn Proud | Irys Florist

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Broadway Stages. In celebration of our 40th trip around the sun, we are shining the spotlight on the heart of our community – the local businesses that provide the essential or simply enjoyable goods and services that allow us to thrive and delight in this great city we call home. We begin the series in our beloved Brooklyn, with a look at the local shops that line our streets, providing a livelihood for our neighbors, family, and friends. Join us on our journey and get to know the people and businesses that make our community home. Today, we feature a popular local florist that offers an amazing assortment of beautiful blooms, Irys Florist!

Thirty-two years ago, Monika Malinowska came to the United States from her native Poland. “I’ve known Greenpoint for many, many years because my grandmother used to have a shop here as well – a lot of old businesses still thrive here, which is something I really like about this area,” says Malinowska. So, 14 years ago, she followed in her grandmother’s footsteps and opened Irys Florist in Greenpoint.

Irys Florist is the type of small business that brings our neighborhood to life. They play a vital role in the economic development of our community, providing expert service, and contributing to the growth and prosperity of the area.

When you need a gift that is appropriate for any occasion or individual, you can count on Irys Florist to deliver. This local family owned and operated shop offers beautiful floral arrangements, succulents, and gift worthy outdoor and house plants, for any occasion. From special gala events, and birthday celebrations to holiday baskets and more, every creation, no matter how big or small, is met with a strong creative vision, attention to detail, and years of experience. “We create pieces that add a stunning floral touch to every occasion, from bouquets for Valentine’s Day to centerpieces for the day you say “I do” and everything in between,” said Malinowska.
