Visit one of Greenfield Hill’s hidden treasures at 75 Hillside Road, where my friend, Coreen Pace, has opened her own floral shop. Coreen’s Bridge Floral Shop is an adorable sunny spot among friendly shop owners in Greenfield Hill Center, which includes a nail salon, antique shop, bank, deli & small-family owned grocery market. The Greenfield Hill community has nothing but kind words to say about Coreen and her business; her faithful client base extends to Southport and Westport as well. Her infectious enthusiasm coupled with her local philanthropy is as genuine as her deeply beautiful floral arrangements.

Greenfield Hill is probably best known for its annual Dogwood (Tree) Festival held in the ‘heart of the hill’ each May. The beautiful floral trees bloom and the community comes alive with vendors, farmers markets, children’s face painting & games.
