I used this florist last year as I wanted to send something special to my mother on Mother's Day…read morewhilst I wasn't in Manchester. They were very helpful on the phone as I tried to remember what flowers my mother does and does not like - carnations, gerbers - I'm a novice. Array of Blossom's motto of adding a personal touch to their service really is true. It was easy enough to specify the flowers and price (around £40) that I wanted to spend and they made up a bouquet specially for me. I never got to see it obviously as I wasn't around but my mum definitely liked the surprise and there were no difficulties with delivery on Mother's Day as I've actually had in the past with other florists. Get it right: like these guys. Their shop on Bury New Road is cute with small potted plants too, ready to take home. They would also be fabulous for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and christenings - all floral services which they offer.

For most of the time I lived in my Prestwich family home there were flowers on our walnut dining room table or the matching walnut sideboard. And most of these came from Crosbie's. They do crazy, expensive bouquets here but that's not what we came for. We came for beautiful, simple bunches that wouldn't break the bank yet would brighten up the scene in our house. The staff here are lovely and helpful. They know when to advise and when to just sit back and let you go round the whole shop three times before deciding on the prettiest.

Jemma helpfully reommended a plant arrangement with some orchids and I took a shine to the style of the Pure and Simple arrangement on the website. Jemma took it from there and created a truly dazzling arrangement with fresh flowers on the day of delivery and which were received with delight. It makes such a refreshing change to see real creativity and flair in this industry rather than just seeing the same old arrangements trotted out. Will certainly use again.

Rooted on Quay Street close to the famous Coronation Street set, Flower Style is a floral paradise…read more I popped in there last week to buy a bouquet for my friend Helen who has thoughtfully provided me with a gorgeous god-son. The exterior is so inviting with topiary plants framing an almost Parisian green entrance. The lady who greeted me knew exactly what I wanted. Hardly a flower buff, I requested an unusual exotic arrangement and I was shown the most incredible array of worldwide flowers. Service was quick and the flowers were so beautiful that I wanted to keep them for myself. The choice of flowers is extensive, curious, unusual and alluring. The bouquet was reasonably priced at £40 and it was made to look extra special. This is designer floristry at high street prices and Flower Style is a keepsake for my blackberry.

TL;DR - Quirky shop and cafe, and a brilliant addition to Prestwich…read more Another sign of the resurgence of Prestwich sees the opening of the Nonsense store on Bury New Road. It's not a huge unit, but it's neatly laid out and rather than trying to sell a bit of everything, they've got a nicely curated selection of items. In the window and along the left hand wall are a huge array of succulents and air plants plus various options for planting them - pots, vases and hanging mounts. The table in the centre hosts various ornaments and trinkets, and the right hand wall features various gifts including a section dedicated to children. Also, we now have a place in Prestwich for picking up the latest copy of Monocle! Perhaps the nicest part of it all is that everything is very reasonably priced. The rear of the store is a coffee shop - family friendly with a large wall covered in chalk board paint so that the kids can entertain themselves. I've not had chance to try it out myself yet, but plan to do so very soon.
