Flower Shop Adventures With Joy Knight

By Joy Knight 28th March 2024

To finalise this month's florist shop visits, I popped into Central City Flowers Christchurch, a member of Direct2florist, meeting up with owner Allan Jarden (above). It was lovely reminiscing about past florist events we've shared. Allan is a super Master Florist – always a delight to share flower ideas with.

Sunday 10th March – Bunts Florist Clyde

We visited Tania's florist shop, Bunts Florist Clyde. Tania welcomed us warmly in her atmospheric flower shop filled with dried flowers, treasures, and a walk-in cooler. She quickly made a stunning hand-tied bouquet, and even helped us find a vineyard accommodation for the night.

Saturday 9th March – The Greenhouse Mosgiel

Saturday morning at The Greenhouse Mosgiel, I met with owner Renae Watt. Her shop has marvellous coolers and great high benches, making for a perfect workspace. It was inspiring to see the changes and enhancements she has made over the years.

Friday 8th March – Simply Flowers Dunedin

I visited Donna of Simply Flowers Dunedin and The Orchid Florist Dunedin. It was wonderful to catch up and see how her business has flourished over the years. Donna now runs a wedding venue as well, adding to her already thriving floristry business.

Thursday 7th March – Bloomers Florist Timaru

Visiting Bloomers Florist Timaru was a heartwarming experience. Their bouquet arrangements were stunning, and I gifted one to a friend, Ron Logan, who was speechless at the gesture. It was a special moment.

In Ashburton, I visited Samantha Rose Florist. Samantha's shop is beautifully arranged, and her involvement with the local florist community is inspiring. Her mother and staff provide strong support, making it a truly family-run business.
