The Country Garden Florist provided the flowers for our special day. Donna was brilliant throughout the planning of the flowers for our big day. Creating our bridal bouquets, button holes, corsages, flower crown, church and alter entrance arrangements. Donna brought our vision to life, shes truly talented. We loved our combination of dried and fresh flowers, were now able to treasure our dried flowers for the years to come. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend The Country Garden Florist.

Donna is a wonderful, kind and insanely talented creative. We knew immediately that she had the vision (and did I mention talent?!) to create our perfect hazy autumnal display. She was up for the challenge of a traditional autumn palette, but muted, but dried flowers...many florists would have called us crazy I am sure! But Donna took lots of time to talk to us, really understand the brief and created an inspiration board that fit us like a glove. We knew to expect amazing things from her, but when we showed up on the day and saw the beautiful displays - which transformed and elevated an already

After having some difficulty paying for an order on the web site {probably my fault....an age thing!!!} I then decided to use the phone & the lovely lady couldn't have been more helpful. Anyway the bouquet arrived this morning and my wife was absolutely overwhelmed by the stunning arrangement.
Cannot thank you enough for the wonderful service you gave and I will be definitely recommending you all my friends and family.

Donna was great to work with to arrange flowers for my gran during pandemic time. I was unable to initially complete my order via the website (due to being overseas), and Donna was able to accommodate my request and payment easily over email. The delivery was on time and the bouquet that was put together, as I saw photos, was beautiful. I will order from them again and know family members in Peterborough will do the same. Thank you!

Donna was absolutely fantastic through the whole process of creating a wonderful arrangement to remember our beloved Uncle Jimmy. Never before have we felt genuine kindness, care and love put into flowers. She got entirely what we were looking for, something organic, natural and beautiful. Her work was set apart from the rest. I will never look elsewhere for a florist other than Donna.
