Now the only florist in Staple Hill since Cherri Burrelle moved over to ToHo, I thought I would give her a go since I needed a bouquet but didn’t have the time to get into town or over to Cherri’s. There were no ready-made bouquets so I had to have one made up, which only took about 10 minutes, and she listened to what I wanted in terms of flowers and style. The choice of flowers in her shop was weighted over to the gerbera side of things for my taste, and nothing staggeringly interesting or seasonal but as I was after just a traditional feminine bouquet for an older female relation then that didn’t really matter. She made me up a pretty bouquet but the wrapping is a little dated. Instead of a free-standing bouquet in clear water I got a green cardboard box which, although highly practical, was a bit ugly. It cost £30 which is average price. I would go back again for traditional arrangements but not for younger friends or those who really know their plants. There is free parking behind the shop for customers which is really handy as the street gets pretty packed. You will find her shop at the far end of the high street — beside the pet shop just before you get to the supermarkets.
