This is the official website for Country Designs by Mary Schlichting Florist and Decorator Country Designs is a floral shop that opened in August of 2000. The shop is located on our farm south west of Thornton, Iowa, or 3 1/2 miles west of I-35 and 1/2 mile north. South one mile and east 3 miles of Meservey. There is no sign but customers are always welcomed! Fresh flowers are delivered 5 days a week from Waterloo, Iowa. Green plants and blooming plants are delivered on Wednesdays from Eagle Grove Greenhouse. I do not hire full-time help, but I do have family that helps when needed. My supplies come from the Bill Doran Company in Waterloo Iowa. Such items as, baskets, paints, ribbon, vases, silk flowers, and other flower products.
