Recommended Posts

I am looking to buy nice 50 roses ,but don't want to spent fortune,as if it's from a regular shop that would be over ?100.Where can I buy from wholesale and is 50 considered,I assume not every florist buys big amount as flowers are perishable.Also if you suggest a place-do you know what time I need to be there and what would be the prices in comparison to the normal shops.Many thanks

[www.newcoventgardenmarket.com] seconded. They have no prices on display so you'll need to negotiate to get the best deals, suggest taking a whizz around the stalls at NCG FM, selecting the whole saller you want to deal with and don't be afraid to negotiate hard.

I really like the florist on L Lane up by Barcelona Tapas, at Dulwich Common. It always strikes me as a really good local business to support and the plants I buy there, while not the cheapest, tend to be really good quality (and the guy there is really nice & helpful) Who knows, they might be happy to do a deal. 02086933332.

New covent Garden for sure. Worth getting up early for (go before 7am, the earlier the better). Maybe do couple of research trips to local florists to find out what varieties you'd like as just asking for 'pink' or 'white' will make you look like you dont know what you're doing. Ask around and don't forget to add the VAT!


I don't rate columbia road. Old tatty flowers at bad prices, but yes, cheaper than a florist although I've never met a proper florist who would buy from there. One for the hipsters only. Great for plants though.


I am a florist, by the way.

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
