Owner and Founder, Betty Flagle, was born and raised in Wanamaker. Today, she is a certified floral designer, receiving her degree from Design Art Floral Academy. She's been in this business for 27 years… and counting!

What truly sets Betty apart from other florists is her genuine passion for the craft. There isn’t a day that goes by without her excitement for the next event she has the opportunity to design. At Wanamaker Flower Shoppe, it is this dedication—along with strong customer relationships, deep product knowledge, and Christian family values—that distinguishes us from our competitors.

Betty's mother was also a floral designer. Even though she had her hands full with 7 children, her mother always made sure there were fresh flowers on the table.  She grew up by her mother's side, working in the flower garden. Many of Betty's childhood memories involve asters, snapdragons, lilies, and roses.  Clearly, she was raised to appreciate the art of floral design.  As a child, she dreamed of owning her own flower shop filled with beautiful arrangements and glittery treasures.  Betty was in 4-H as a child. Thanks to her mother and her rather magical green thumb, Betty won grand champion almost every year. Her mother taught her many valuable tips and filled her with rich knowledge that she still uses today, and has passed down to her own daughter, Missy. 

The new location at 8809 Southeastern Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46239 represents an exciting new chapter, while honoring a long-standing family connection to the Wanamaker community. Betty's 4 brothers and 2 sisters have always been an active part of the Wanamaker community. They all attended Franklin Township schools, as well as Betty's two children, Missy and James.

In this next phase, we are thoughtfully recreating ourselves—refreshing our vision, expanding our offerings, and embracing new ideas while staying true to the values that have always guided us. Our updated space allows us to introduce carefully curated new lines of giftware, featuring distinctive, high-quality pieces that reflect both timeless tradition and modern style. These additions are designed to better serve our customers, celebrate meaningful moments, and create a welcoming place where the community can continue to gather, shop, and be inspired.

We invite you to stop by and experience Wanamaker Flower Shoppe for yourself. Come see our new location, explore our fresh selection of florals and giftware, and meet the friendly faces behind the designs. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply brightening someone’s day, we’d love to welcome you in and help make it memorable.
