UK Florists Brightening Homes | Floristry Industry Insight

UK florists and flower growers delivering flowers both in their local area and sending nationwide is, I’m sure, welcomed by so many people during these uncertain times.

In this week’s blog post you’ll find details of just a few businesses who are brightening up peoples’ homes with flowers. However, it’s not an exhaustive list by any means! You’ll also find links to my recent interviews with some of the businesses featured.

AMANDA AUSTIN FLOWERS

Good Morning! Well I’ve had a few enquires about opening the shop – we can’t open yet – anyone who knows me knows I’m a stickler for rules, however there are now suppliers who can deliver stock to me contactless, so if you want some plants or flowers send me a Dm and I will start – I plan to do my first deliveries this Friday and the again Monday or Tuesday next week to those who ask, please bear with me if I’m a slow starter but I want to be absolutely sure it’s safe – spread the word – initially I’ll only be doing SW LONDON – and please remember I’ll only be delivering to your door – my shop has been repainted, deep cleaned and bleached everywhere and I will be in gloves and a mask!!! And don’t want to upset anyone but I won’t be staying for a chat – strictly drop and go! #wedeliver #houseplants #flowerbunches #orchids and fingers crossed some #peonies!!! #flowerdiary #flowerfairies
