Hi. My name is Jackie Brooks, I am a florist who gained a Distinction in my final exam.
I now run my own floristry business.

My flowers come direct from Holland, to my door in Maidstone, Kent, nobody can get them fresher as I contact the action house directly. I buy local English flowers where I can and I have a good business relationship with my sweet pea and lavender growers. The flowers are cut as late as possible, keeping them very fresh for your wedding table.

I have taught floristry to adults for the past 20 years. I keep up with all the latest designs in floristry, as I am regularly taught by Dutch master florists, when I go for tuition, in the South East.

I try to be as eco friendly as possible, from business cards and leaflets printed on recycled paper, to sourcing natural products. I use wood where I have previously used plastic. Whenever possible, I try to use local flower growers, cutting down the carbon footprint.
