Shame on Cambridge City Council for giving this trader short notice so he cannot sell his produce valued at 5000 worth of plants. Suddenly his stall is non essential. - Really This trader has an excellent reputation for selling quality plants and is now deemed non essential and l used to visit regularly. Gardening is a safe leisure pursue within the safety of your own premises. It provides relaxation and pleasure during this tense time of Covid lockdown. Why are we trying to kill off small traders when all others, Scotsdales, B&Q, Homebase and Tesco are cornering the market. This is another reason

Since I moved to Girton 11 years ago I have bought flowers for my wife from Peter Graves, mostly collected but sometimes delivered (and sometimes I have had to have been reminded to collect them), about 3/4 times a year. I have to say that I have never been less than delighted with what they have produced, and more importantly, my wife has always been thrilled with them. Beautiful fresh flowers, perfectly presented and served and delivered with a smile. Excellent!

I found out my friends 50TH Anniversary was on Saturday and it was Friday evening. I went through many local florists but none seemed to guarantee delivery. I found Peter Graves. I loved the arrangements and chose one not being 100% sure of delivery, as the store was closed. My friends sent a picture the next day. The arrangement was exactly as portrayed in the picture and delivered on time. Thank you Peter Graves Florist
