About Us

Brought together by their love of fresh flowers and their wish to further enrich the Northside neighborhood, owners Angela Barnett and Amber Neville have created Willow & Stock, an independent floral shop serving Iowa City and the surrounding area, in 2017. Willow & Stock intends to serve the growing consumer desire for products created ethically and responsibly, while maintaining high standards of beauty, quality and customer care.

By sourcing our flowers as close to home as possible, Willow & Stock aims to show that flowers can be unique, beautiful and local. We source from area farmers using what they have available as the seasons change. Whenever possible supplemental stock is brought in from greenhouse growers operating in the continental United States with preference for the Midwest. Additionally, we are committed to eliminating waste whenever possible — we use biodegradable butcher paper as wrap, prefer chicken wire over floral foam, felt rather than synthetic sponges, and deliver by foot whenever possible.

Since opening our door in 2017 we have come to love our niche in Iowa City. We’ve thrived thanks to our wonderfully supportive community and look forward to many more years operating in the Northside.

Amber Neville

A proud Iowa City native with deep ties to the community, Amber left her career as a corporate librarian, a position she held for 11 years, to pursue a more creative field. Luckily, she has turned out to be a natural for floral design with a knack for creating arrangements using foraged and native flowers and plants. Amber lives in the Northside with her children and cantankerous kitty, Tuli. She loves reading, particularly historical fiction, and is a very amateur bird-watcher.
