A decent florist in my view and this is a florist people in the Birmingham and Great Barr area…read moreshould visit. There are one or two flowers on the expensive side but the rest are affordable. Occasions hence the name can make bouquets for birthdays, weddings and even proms. And I did see the odd prom dress in the display area. I also saw some very cute woollen sweaters for young babies. They reminded me of my younger cousins who live in London. There are so many flowers to choose from and there are also a broad range of colours to choose from. Not a bad place to buy flowers from in my view and the staff come across as very friendly. As I am not from the Great Barr area, this is not a place I buy my flowers from. However if you are from this area, give Occasions a go and see what they are offering.

I'm not one to receive a lot of flowers but I do like buying them for myself or a loved one for…read morespecial occasions. This florist is on my way to Birmingham, so I've driven or gone past the place via bus a lot of times. I'd always wanted to go in and just a few weeks back I finally did. From the outside is eye catching. The large white background shop sign is something you'll see straight away. It's also nice in size; as some florists are a little on the small side for my liking. With Occasions florists, their flowers are not cheap, actually some are a little expensive. You pay for the quality you get. There range of flowers are selected for big occasions like; weddings, birthday's etc. Therefore, they offer an exceptional service because they have a few customers who are planning their weddings or huge birthday celebrations. I'd say only go there if you really want to buy someone some expensive flowers and don't mind spending that extra little!

Mirrored, wooden-panelled walls give a quaint, spacious feel to the store and staff are always welcoming and helpful. Some flowers on display outside cost just £1.99 and the store offers a great gift-wrapping service for all forget-me-nots. The staff here are pleasant, the atmosphere is very relaxed and handy off-road parking is available for customers.

But then again other florists offer the same thing. It is a small shop and again there isn't much room to move in. There isn't exactly a big variety of flowers to choose from although they are at decent prices. Apart from this is there isn't really much else I can say. Staff are friendly but I am not going to be coming back here for flowers. Its too far and even if I did come back, there would not be much to choose from. Those are just my views and do feel free to disagree with me.

To be a garden centre or a nursery or not to be a garden centre or a nursery? That is the question…read more It seems these days that many nurseries eventually diversify along the garden centre route - installing cafes, aquatics centres and farm shops. Fortunately, Hirons continues to buck the trend. This has always been and continues to be an actual functioning nursery providing high class garden and house plants to Birmingham families for years. Hirons retains its old fashioned feel, and hasn't changed since I used to visit here with my dad - who loves the place to bits incidentally. There's no smoke or mirrors here. You can see the staff getting there hands dirty, potting up the wonderful plants on old newspaper that they've actually grown on site. Garden centres have their place, but if you're a plant lover first and foremost this is the place for you. The staff at this family run firm really know their stuff, and you'll leave with unusual plants and specialist potting soil rather than a goldfish and a pot of homemade marmalade.

The blooms and bouquets from here are radiant and fragrant and always bring a smile to my face on even the gloomiest of Brummie days. This is an ideas stall. This place invents lovely combinations of flowers to give as gifts, and seems to change the bouquets designs daily - just to keep things as fresh as its flowers. However, it also does the classics perfectly. How many Brummies have heard the words 'I love you' accompanied by a Sutton Flower's single red rose? At certain times of the year things become a little different. Easter sees blooms that reflect the festivities, and at Christmas it's also possible to get gifts, cards and wrapping paper. I like to visit just after work, when Birmingham is winding down after a long day. This is when there are bargains to be had, as Sutton Flowers sells off the day's stock ready to start afresh the next day. Put simply, Sutton Flowers is a little ray of sunshine in a busy corner of Brum.
