Grafe Studio provides the Chattanooga area with fresh cut flowers, phalaenopsis orchids, and other plants as well as offering classes in floral design and plant care. Our flowers and plants can be found at Pruett's Market on Signal Mountain, The Village Market in Collegedale, Erlanger Gift Shop, Moore and King Pharmacy, Hutcheson Hospital in Fort Oglethorpe, Mountain Valley Market Produce as well as at our studio in St. Elmo. While some of our flowers are are from local growers, the majority of them are purchased directly from farms in Ecuador and Columbia. Others come from as far away as Holland, Africa, Italy and Australia as we search out unique and unusual product for your enjoyment. Dennis and Betsy have personally traveled to floral farms to insure that we are not only purchasing the highest quality product but also that the flowers are produced in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible way. Dennis and Betsy started Grafe Studio in 2004 as a way to supply a local organic grocery store with fresh cut flowers. Since that time, their business has expanded to two local markets, three hospital gift shops, and a busy studio. The Grafes employ two full-time designers and three part-time employees and have an outstanding reputation for quality and service in the Chattanooga area.
