From Roofs to Roses – The Story of The Flower Nook

Frank Capuano has always had two constants in his life: family and community. With over 27 years of running his own successful family business, Frank first made his mark in roofing and renovation, then branched into real estate…and eventually, something a little more fragrant.

Now calling North Haven, CT home with his wife and three children, Frank opened The Flower Nook—A Floral Boutique— on September 1, 2023, at 117 Washington Avenue. Word spread fast (flowers do have a way of getting people talking), and soon the space felt a little too cozy. Never one to think small, Frank purchased the building at 193 State Street – now known as CAPS Commons– partnered with local creatives, assembled a dream design team, and transformed it into a 4,000 square-foot inspiration destination offering far more than fresh-cut flowers. Inside, you’ll find lush exotic plants, one-of-a-kind gifts, hand-crafted treasures, and the kind of customer service you don’t forget.

Frank’s life blooms far beyond business. A devoted husband and father of three, you’ll find him cheering from the sidelines at his kids’ games, lending a hand at St. Rita’s Church, scouting his next real estate venture, supporting local sports teams, or enjoying a meal at Haven Hot Chicken (where, yes, he’s also a proud partial owner).

At The Flower Nook, our team is as carefully chosen as our blooms—designers who listen, dream, and bring your vision to life with over 25 years of experience. We’re here for all of life’s moments: the “firsts” and “lasts,” the milestones, the just-becauses, and everything in between. From birth to weddings, celebrations to farewells, our mission is to make your memories beautiful.

Because here, it’s not just about flowers—it’s about people, stories, and connection. One conversation, one arrangement, one moment at a time. Today, tomorrow, and forever.
