Interflora or <insert as appropriate> ?


Recommended Posts

Here's what I have done instead of paying the extra money for Interflora. I can't afford flowers much but on special occasion I thought I would do this.

Google to find the nearest flower shop to the person you want to receive them.

(Google Earth to see if they look like a nice shop if necessary!)

Phone the shop and ask for a delivery and pay them straight into their bank account.

It's worked for me!

Definitely this!

Seasonal flowers, either as a bouquet or a box of cut flowers (not as pretty when they , but a small box has lots of flowers). Long lasting and fresh.


Grown in England, so fewer flower miles. And excellent customer services (when I messed up the order first time round).

I go with the PR plan - find someone local to the receiver. Essentially your local Interflora florist just sends the order to them anyway and takes what? 15-20%? Remove them from the equation and it can go into the actual flowers. I've done this for orders both UK and internationally.


Given how easy that is to do these days I'd say Interflora's day's are numbered..

    • LL has always reminded me of Crouch End. Went to Crouch End a while ago and three huge supermarkets now dominate it. Soulless. 
    • I completely agree.   Pride used to be in Brixton and Brockwell Park before it outgrew it and moved to Finsbury Park.  Quite reasonable to accept limitations and respond properly  
    • Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found.
