Floral & Hardy

What are the chances anyone reading this in Portland will need a florist in North London?
Rather slim, I suppose.
However — I’m writing this for no other reason than this business deserves 5 stars, and I’ve used them at least 4 – 6 times in the last few years and always received superlative customer service. Also us Yanks are often not easy to please.
My Brit husband has parents in Barnet and over the years other relatives in that area have celebrated anniversaries, died, or otherwise caused me to send flowers. F&H have always come through famously and been friendly, accommodating and dependable delivering beautiful arrangements and helping me choose for the occasion every time.
Barnet– a village in North London, has been around 900 years or so, and has a population of about 375,000. I’ve been going there for 15 years and even though it’s part of a very large city it maintains its closely knit feel (see Samuel Pepys) and I’ve always loved it there.
This flower shop and tearoom encapsulates that ‘buy local’ us colonial cousins are so wild about, and I promise if you want to send roses to your nearest and dearest in North London to tease them about a Spurs loss to Arsenal– this is the shop you should visit.
I’m compelled to write this, after the orchids were delivered to my Mother and Father in Law today as they celebrate wedding anniversary 51.
When you have family far away, and you cannot be with them enough, nor celebrate special events it’s enormously comforting to know you have help on the other side of the world.
Thanks F&H~ I think you’re all lovely people and we are grateful for all you’ve done. I hope I can see your shop in living colo (u)r some day soon.
