About Us

Two Stores, One Commitment to Community

Eckhardts Floral Design has been a pillar business in Durham for decades – our flowers have celebrated your milestones, big and small.

With new owner and a fresh new space, we’re honouring that long-standing tradition while adding a touch of modern magic to the mix. Whether you’ve been coming here for years or you’re new to the shop, we’re all about keeping it friendly, approachable, and beautiful.

And now, we’re thrilled to be serving our friends in Mount Forest with the addition of Country Creations Floral and Home!

With two locations, we’re still the same team—offering fresh floral designs, custom arrangements, and a curated collection of home goods and beautiful gifts that are as warm and welcoming as the communities we serve.

So, whether you’re looking for that perfect arrangement to make someone’s day or want to find a unique piece for your home, we’ve got you covered — in Durham, Mount Forest, and beyond.

Our Story

Since February 2022, Eckhardts Floral Design has been blooming under the care of owner Breanna Graham, a small-town gal with a passion for flowers, a talent for interior style, and a heart for community.

With locations in both Durham and Mount Forest, Breanna’s vision is simple: create welcoming spaces filled with beautiful florals, curated home goods, and unique lifestyle finds—all with a warm, down-to-earth touch

We believe...

In heartfelt connections, always.

From celebrating love to comforting in loss, we’re here for all of life’s moments, big and small.

In staying true to our roots.

Local, Canadian-made, and sustainably sourced whenever possible, we’re here to support our community while keeping things beautiful.

In creating joy in the everyday.

Thoughtful flowers, cozy home goods, and a chat with a friend—because the little things matter most.

What You’ll Find in Our Shops

Both Eckhardts and Country Creations offer an experience that’s a little different from your typical flower or gift shop.

Each location is filled with carefully chosen items, from Canadian-made decor and sustainable home goods to small-batch teas, artisanal candles, cozy textiles, and indulgent treats.

Breanna has a knack for finding just the right mix of high-quality, beautiful, and practical pieces that make you feel at home – and make it easy to find a perfect gift for anyone.

What truly sets us apart is the heart behind the business.

Whether it’s a custom bouquet, a handpicked gift, or a heartfelt conversation, we love being part of our customers’ special moments and helping them create joy in the everyday.

And we keep things local and approachable, with a focus on natural, sustainable products that keep your budget (and the planet) in mind.

MEET THE OWNER

Breanna Graham

Breanna’s journey to floral design wasn’t exactly a straight path. Though she trained and worked as a dental assistant, she found herself looking for a calm and more creative change.

Breanna saw an opening at another local flower shop, and thought, “Why not?” And, as it turns out, was the perfect fit.

Passion Meets Purpose

After a few months of working with flowers, Breanna felt so at home in the role that when she learned that the original owner of Eckhardts, Dave, was thinking of retiring, she decided to go for it.

In November 2023, Breanna and her team moved to Durham’s other floral shop when it closed, giving Eckhardts a fresh location and a new space to grow.

Meet Breanna

A Sister Store

Just a few months later in March 2024, an opportunity came knocking: Breanna learned that the owners of Country Creations in Mount Forest were looking to sell.

One meeting was all it took, and in September 2024, Breanna was the owner of sister stores, expanding her mission of fresh florals, curated home goods, and heartfelt service to a second location.
