You know, I have never brought from here before because I haven't needed to BUT I walk through here a lot as sure many people do. People who work there are always friendly and say hi. From what I see they sell, they have a lovely arrange of flowers and all reasonably priced. I may not need flowers but if you do, go take a look and support your local businesses.

I was looking for something different for a wreath for my mum from my son, daughter & 3 grandchildren . I went to see Chris and Lucie & explained my thoughts. We discussed chocolates so I left it to them. When I collected it I was gobsmacked. Waiting for me was a bar of chocolate made of flowers . Everyone at the funeral were surprised & alot of positive feedback, even the lady in front of the hearse took a photo and said how brilliant it was. Thank you Chris and Lucie with all our hearts

The sympathy flowers I ordered for the funeral of a family friend were beautiful. I was delighted when I saw them. Just what I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend this florist.
