I'm not usually one to be intrigued by aesthetics, but when passing this shop I couldn't help but…read morego in. Firstly, the smell of the flowers was amazing and this was aided by the simplistic, warming exterior that brought a sparkle of colour to an otherwise dull part of Ormiston Terrace. Upon entering the shop, you find yourself travelling down a channel of pristinely arranged bouquets leading down to the service counter. The staff are extremely helpful and responded to all my queries with a cheerful mannerism and without any hesitation. The range of services available is vast, as mentioned in the previous review, and the staff are more than happy to give you advice on what would be most appropriate for your intended purpose. Unfortunately due to my budget constraints, I left with the smallest rose available... but a pleasant experience nonetheless.

This shop is beautifully laid out and filled with helpful staff to boot. Placing made to order…read moredisplays aand bouquets in the shop front allows the customer to see exactly what they could be buying without having to overwork their imagination! On request, bouquets can be constructed from the value of £5 to upwards of £100 and any variety of flowers, ribbons, bows, vases and baskets can be included in your gift! As well as bouquets, Flower Bomb sells plants and garden paraphenalia; I purchased an orchid a few months ago now and you will be pleased to hear it is lasting well! This florist not only caters to your flower and gardening needs, but does so on for the customer on a budget or willing to splurge! A winner!

Being in Chicago I had to google in the middle of the night to try to find a florist who might be able to send flowers from us for that same day in Edinburgh, and Valentine's Day too no less! Google said "Open 24 hours" with a 5-star rating. Well, true to their word, Katrina answered the phone at 4:30 in the morning, half asleep and guaranteed that she would not disappoint us. Within just hours, on the busiest day of the florist business, Katrina delivered!!! Wow, I've never experienced customer service like that before!!! The flowers were perfect and stunning.

They do beautiful displays of flowers immediately outside the shop, and in the windows. For me, the reason to go here. Chocolate! Harvest Garden is the only Scottish, if not UK stockist of Laura Secord. These are gorgeous chocolates that I first had in Canada. Beware, these are not cheap! In season, they sell chocolate figs. These are handmade in someone's house in Spain. Basically, it is a fresh fig that has chocolate fondant in the middle, then they are foil wrapped. That description could never do them justice though. I am always guaranteed to find what I want here for birthdays, christmas etc. There is a good range of chocolate stocked, and a price to suit all pockets. I haven't made it to the handmade chocolate counter yet though.....

Normally I like M&S flowers or Waitrose by delivery as they last and are good quality but M&S flowers were looking poor today. I remembered Arkadius on Rose Street. I had a peek in and liked the flowers I saw - they all looked fresh and bright and not at all scabby. My request was simple, £20 worth of flowers in water and the colours were to be pinks and purples. The bouquet made up was lovely. Roses, Gerberas, Carnations, lisianthus and a couple of other types I don't know the name for. Lots of flowers and a nice balance of greenery. My bouquet was made up right away and is a decent size. I would use Arkadius again - lovely flowers to suit my budget (with no attempt to make me spend more than my student budget allows) so well worth a visit.
