About Us





Flower shop A Special Place was created by third and fourth generation Parker County natives Donna Couch and her daughter, Kristi Towles, to be a place where clients receive the highest quality of service in a comfortable and cozy setting.

We created A Special Place by combining our two existing businesses, The Park Bench, a gift shop Kristi opened in 1996 and Sara's Plants, a Weatherford plant business that Donna purchased in 2001. In 2002, they combined the two businesses together and changed the name to better reflect their desire to be the ultimate shopping experience, specializing in beautiful fresh and floral creations, fabulous gift baskets, and unique home decor items. You can also find yummy gourmet foods, unique candles, books and soothing bath items on hand.

In 2004, Kristi left to start another business, but still assists in special events, such as Holiday Decorating and Interior consulations. The following year, Donna's husband, Walter, retired after 30 years of firefighting and joined the business, taking on management duties and lots of "honey-dos".

The Couch Family welcome you to shop with them, and enjoy the personal shopping experience that has been lost with the big box stores. Enjoy A Special Place, where we have SPECIAL THINGS FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE..
