A fantastic shop with friendly staff. After initially getting my flowers from there, I was so impressed with the service that now I will only get my flowers and arrangements from there.
I ordered a birthday bunch of flowers over the phone, very friendly and helpful lady on the other end. I was given a clear idea of what the flowers would look like and options as to how the bouquet would be presented. Marvellous service.The only reason I have not given five stars is because they were not in a position to be able to send pictures.

- Arranging your flowers in cold water should be avoided as this can reduce the their life in the vase.

- Strip off all excess foliage and leaves below the water level to reduce any harmful bacteria within the water.
- Bacteria can block the stem and stop the flowers taking up the water.unwrap. Flowers like their stems trimmed. So, trim them, at an angle with a knife (rather than scissors) by an inch or so. When trimming stems, always cut at an angle of roughly 45degrees; this increases the surface area allowing your flowers to absorb more water.
- If a Rose starts to droop at the head, re-cut the stem, wrap the head in paper to support it upright and plunge 5cms of the stem into boiling water for about 30seconds. Cut the stem again and place in deep cold water for two hours.trim
Most orders are accompanied by a sachet of cut flower food which will encourage buds to open and help to prolong the life and beauty of your flowers.
