Things we will say no to

  • Shipping. Flowers do not survive a courier and we will not pretend otherwise.
  • Same-day orders placed after 2pm on a Thursday.
  • Funeral tributes shaped like objects — footballs, gates, the word NAN.
  • Anything with floral foam in it, including things you have seen us refuse before.
  • Venues more than ninety minutes away, however good the photographs look.

Getting here

Green door, between the laundry and the tyre place

There is no sign worth looking for. We are the narrow green door on the north side of Cross Street, two along from the tyre place, with buckets outside from about nine in the morning.

Street parking is free after 10am and nearly impossible on a Saturday. The alley behind takes two cars and one of them is usually the van.
