November Newsletter 2022
Hello again,
BIG apologies if you received your newsletter with the incorrect name, we still have not quite got to the bottom of what happened, technology!!! Its good when it works eyy, sorry again!
We are still buzzing about our Macmillan coffee morning we raised £655.56, money is still coming in on our QR code (scan below) We couldn’t have done it without our friends and relatives who baked all the beautiful cakes and cupcakes because myself and Dawn are not good a baking (Haha!)
This month we have been in regular contact with our suppliers and they have informed us of the rising costs in producing your wonderful florals. Global supply as really stretched at the minute so our wholesalers are working tirelessly to ensure we get the best value for the best quality to give you the best buying experience possible.
Kind regards
Barbara

Flower of the month
Q: Do you know what the birthday flower is for
November?
A: Chrysanthemums! With their bright pops of colour they are the PERFECT flower to illuminate an otherwise dark, winter month Chrysanthemums have had a real renaissance recently, shedding their fuddy image with some interesting varieties being introduced that we just love.
So, if you want to send a birthday gift with some meaning then drop by or give us a call. And, if you're the lucky recipient of a bunch, then check out our Flower Care guide and flower food to keep them in tip top condition and long lasting through the winter.
Behind the scenes! Delivering funeral tributes
We are often asked about our funeral logistics, we can deliver straight to the funeral home to make an emotional day as easy as possible, leave it to us! We will get in contact with the funeral director to organise the correct times for delivery so you don't have to.
We also understand ordering funeral flowers isn't the easiest so we are now offering home consultations so you can be in the comfort of your own home.
