This quiet store on High Street Rd is where I went to a loved one some flowers. Of course, having no knowledge about flowers or the nitty gritties of buying them, I was expecting a personalised service which is exactly what I received.
The service
The lady who served welcomed me, and promptly figured out I had no idea about flowers. I told I was buying flowers as a show of affection to a loved one, and that’s all that was required. She went through a few options with me, and explained what sort of flowers are appropriate. I was keen on red roses, so she went through all the possible options with them: gold or silver coating, vase colour, and whether to put funky strings on them. She provided a written instruction booklet on how to take care of them. Who would have thought flowers come with special instructions. I just thought they needed water, but apparently they need a lot more. She went through a few strategies to “get the most time” out of the roses.
The lady made the bunch of roses in about 15 minutes, and it was fresh and ready to go.
The ambience
The shop is very well maintained, and has an essence about it. The flowers, and gift options are neatly displayed. There are plenty of card varieties to choose from.
The price
Here’s another thing I never knew. Flowers are very expensive. I spent around $100 to buy some roses and a personalised card. They ain’t cheap, but worth it if you want something special for your loved one.
Summary – Rating (8.5/10)
I would definitely recommend this small shop for your flower needs. Personalised service.
