A flower room on Tanner Street

Flowers, cut for the week you’re having.

Hand-tied bouquets, vase arrangements and long wedding tables, made on one bench in Brackenmere from whatever came into the buckets that morning.

I — The room

A small shop, one long bench, and buckets to the ceiling.

Come in and pick stems yourself, or tell us who the flowers are for and let us choose. Every bouquet is tied by hand, wrapped in brown paper and tissue, and comes with a care card and a sachet of flower food.

We take a handful of weddings and dinners each month so each one gets the bench to itself. You see a sketch and a written price before anything is ordered.

  1. A walk round the buckets. Half an hour at the shop to talk colours, the room and the budget.
  2. A sketch and a price. Drawn up within the week, in writing, line by line.
  3. Set on the day. We dress the tables, then come back for the vases afterwards.

VI — How to order

Three steps, then flowers.

    Write the card

    Tell us the message and we’ll write it out by hand. Leave your number in case we need to check a doorbell.

  3. 3

    Collect, or we deliver

    Pick it up from Tanner Street, or we deliver it on the afternoon round, Tuesday to Saturday.

Delivery

One van, one afternoon round.

Orders in by noon go out on that afternoon’s round. Anything after noon goes out the next round. We call or text if nobody answers the door, and leave flowers only somewhere shaded.
