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..

    • Any links?  I used mesh around my feeders to get rid of my starlings who were unwelcome visitors to the garden devouring food for the small garden birds.  Interestingly their numbers have plummeted across the country, nothing to do with festivals.  Not sure how important starlings are in local ecosystems.  Only see them in numbers in large car parks.  Labour will be ditching habitat protections on their build for growth programme so Gala will pale into insignificance. (Just found this draft so thought I'd post it even though discussion has moved on)
    • Yes, at least in London there is good public transport! I once lived in the middle of nowhere. There was one bus a week which took people into the nearest largeish town to shop in the morning, then brought them  back in the afternoon. Another world!  I never actually used the bus, because I had a (different) car!
    • Makes me wish I had gone.
