Flowers are fantastic, aren’t they? They look great, smell beautiful bouquet makes the perfect gift for any and all occasions. There is a long history of floristry in the UK; we began the practice in the 19th century, after all. So it comes as no surprise that many of us still have a romantic notion of fresh flowers sold by farmers in markets up and down the country.
However, the reality of floristry and flower delivery in the UK does not bear comparison to the cottage industry of our imaginations. The rise of machine-cut flowers and machine-tied bouquets sold cheaply in supermarkets and petrol station forecourts the length and breadth of the country, has taken the artistry out of floristry. It is time to return to our roots and champion local florists and local flowers again.
Today, we will discuss the benefits of having fresh flowers delivered by artisanal florists in the UK.
