My son had ordered an expensive bouquet for Mother's Day and not only were they late in delivery…read more So I went on over to collect it myself and they had more wild flowers than what was in the picture ordered from their site. The flowers barely lasted 3 days and I had to dispose the whole bouquet. They did not even have a glass jar to hold the flowers just a plastic bag with water in a fancy paper bag! Will never order here again

I literally LOVE this florist. The store and Louise. And it was stumbled upon accidentally in St…read moreAlbans. We got our wedding flowers from here in March and they exceeded my expectations (I have very high standards people). We met with Louise, who became our florist, and she got exactly what I wanted, straight up. She has a abundance of floral knowledge, she's JANE PACKER TRAINED and was willing to take my ideas on board, mixed with hers and hey presto...best wedding flowers ever. I wanted a vintagey, gardeny, quaint feel. I provided some birdcages, jugs and cake stands and mentioned colours and she did the rest. Hung the cages in trees etc Provided the EXACT shade of nude pink roses I was lusting after. I think I hugged her on wedding morning...may of scared her but was so impressed. And I hadn't even seen the gardens/reception barn/ceremony room yet! Sigh. Happy memories. The store itself is lovely. Sells lots of cool, vintage looking, shabby chic home-wares alongside her beautiful selection of flowers. Lots of unusual looking ones as well. This is a cut above the rest. Birthday/wedding/etc cards provide interest too. Everything is well priced. No complaints at all. Expecting hubbie to provide enormous Kendalls bouquet for Valentines.

I am all for supporting local shops and trades and Panda cards is a great example…read more It's situated off the main shopping area, in the road behind Clinton (ironically) Unlike Clinton you get a small independent shop with one courteous lady serving, a good selection of out of the ordinary cards and gifts as well as other quirky items. The only draw back I have with Panda is that you are required to pay in cach (or this has been the case every time I have been in there). Other than that it's a great little gem in St Albans in amongst all the corporate monsters.
