Hi East Dulwich ,as everyone knows now there is a large Commercial Tree Selling operation on Goose Green .This company is from Sheffield and have been given permission by Southwark Council Events Department.Our flower shop is based opposite the East Dulwich Tavern and the trees outside the pub are part of our Xmas Tree business every year.This part of our business helps us and other local traders sustain our ability to trade the rest of the year in the quiet times. There are local traders who trade all year round in East Dulwich , the bad weeks and the good weeks,and some who pay street traders licenses every week and some like ourselves who have shops who pay business rates. Competition is good for local business but as in this case small businesses cannot compete with big business.Please support your local Xmas Tree sellers, whether it be us, or any of the numerous ones that you all usually go to. This company Tree Amigos , who are Greenfields Xmas Trees Ltd, are probably going to have a an impact on some who rely on the Tree selling for their living .
