About us
Established in 1972, we have been serving Nottingham for over thirty-five years with flowers, plants and other gifts ideas and are now arguably one of the leading florists in the United Kingdom. The company was originally founded in Beeston, a suburb of Nottingham. Having grown from those early days we now have our main shop set in the heart of the city centre.

Our image reflects our trend in modern and contemporary floristry, for which we are renown. Our logo has been designed to resemble the beautiful Strelizia (Bird of Paradise), and further emphasises our global service as members of Interflora and our establishment since 1972.

Modern and Contemporary Floristry
Brian Skelhorn | International Floral Designer.
Trained in the precision engineering industry for nine years after leaving school, Brian Skelhorn changed his fields of interest completely and founded the company by opening his first shop in Beeston in 1972. Renown for his contemporary style, he has acheived worldwide recognition as one of the UK's leading floral designers.

He began entering competitions soon after opening the first shop and won the majority of those he entered. He reached the final of the Interflora Florist of the Year competition four times, and was twice the runner up. He has designed the Interflora stand at The Chelsea Flower Show, England's most prestigious flower event, on no less than FIVE occasions. On one occasion the stand was remounted at the World competition in Hamburg in 1982.

In addition to his competition work, Brian has devoted a considerable amount of time to Interflora. He started working at a local level as District Chairman, and progressed to work throughout the UK as a National Judge, inspiring and encouraging younger florists in their work. He went on to represent the UK in international competitions such as the European Cup. His knowledge and experience proved invaluable when his was invited to be a World Judge, at the Interflora World Cup competition in Australia.

In recognition of his hard work and dedication to Interflora, in November 2000 Brian was presented with the coveted "John Hunt" medal - an award given by Interflora for long and meritorious service to the Association. His dedication to this honour has also led to his appointment as Chairman of the John Hunt Medallists.
