The Shinoda Family has been servicing the Floral Industry for over 100 years and across 5 generations. The Patriarch of the family Kumaichiro Shinoda was among the first rose growers in the state of California. The original family business was called the San Lorenzo Nursery and Flower Company. It grew to be the largest floral operations in the United States during the 1950’s. In 1986, the original Shinoda Design Center warehouse was opened in Santa Ana, CA starting with 16000 square feet. In 1994, the second warehouse in San Diego was opened. After many moves, the warehouses currently occupy 135000 square feet in Santa Ana and 42000 square feet in San Diego. Within the industry, our warehouses are considered to house one of the largest and most diverse inventories in the country.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a catalog?
We have a basic floral supply catalog with the basics in floral items such as everyday glassware, satin ribbon, and essential floral basics. It is difficult for us to catalog and service our customers adequately because of the continuing process of adding and cutting of items that takes place. We are working to develop our online catalog with purchasing capability and hope to have it completed in the near future. If you've taken the cyber tour of our stores, you can better appreciate how sizable our inventory really is.
Do you have minimums?
For purchases at our warehouses, we have no dollar amount minimum.
Is there a membership fee?
