A brief history of how DeBonis & Davin came to be....
In May 1906, when Joseph DeBonis was only 15 years old, he arrived at Ellis Island in New York from Italy. He soon acquired work for the railroad in Danbury, CT, receiving wages of only $1.00 per day for a 10 hour day and when Joe was 16 he went to work as a fireman and gardener at an orphanage in Verbank, New York. In 1910, after three years, Joe moved to Fitchburg, MA where he found employment at Fish's Dairy Farm in Lunenburg. By the time Joe was 20 he met his sweetheart Ottilia and soon-to-be wife. Upon return from their honeymoon (all the way to Clinton MA), they both worked for the Fitchburg Yarn Mill where Joe became the boss grinder. Joe worked there until 1924, at the age of 33, he bought and operated a grocery store for several years during the depression. In 1938 when Joe was 48 he started a landscape business consisting of 3 greenhouses to grow cut flowers and potted plants. In 1945, after the war, Joe opened a flower shop on Valentines Day with his son Silvio DeBonis at 715 Main St Fitchburg and then later moved to it's present location at 900 Main St Fitchburg. After a lot of years and a few marriages, the seeds Joe planted are still growing strong. The DeBonis family still owns and operates DeBonis & Davin Flower Shop it is now run by Joe's granddaughter Carol and her husband Ray.
