My name is Vanessa - I am a freelance florist and work from home in the village of St Nicholas at Wade in the Isle of Thanet and just a few miles outside of the City of Canterbury. I trained at Canterbury College and qualified as a City and Guilds Florist with Distinction and then went on to Hadlow College to complete a Creative Floristry Course.

I specialise in bespoke funeral floral arrangements, designed to the specifications of my customers, their taste, the occasion, price and my recommendations on seasonality and longevity of the flowers.

I love to use flowers in their seasons wherever possible and to use English growers as much as I can. My suppliers are South East Flowers Ltd based in Ashford and they take care to ensure that all my flowers are of excellent quality.

I understand that it is a very difficult time for familes dealing with a bereavement and try my best to help you choose your floral tributes with sensitivity and care. The flowers you choose are the last act of love you can demonstrate for them and so I know how important it is to get them just right.

I deliver to all the Thanet towns of Ramsgate, Margate, Broadstairs, Westgate and Birchington and the surrounding villages and also to Cantebury, Whitstable and Herne Bay

Don’t worry if you don’t know much about flowers and their names- it doesn’t matter- that is what I am here for.
