Thanks for considering Go tell the bees Florist. We can't wait to help make your moments even more special!
MY STORY
I grew up surrounded by flowers, thanks to my dad, who was the Head Gardener at a National Trust Property (and now an occasional helper at Go tell the bees). My love for flower arranging began early, with classes starting when I was just eight years old.
I went on to earn a degree in Community and Youth Work and have worked with many charities and in local government. However, I often felt like a square peg in a round hole and realised I needed to do something more creative that still allowed me to help people. I met a wonderful lady called Molly Day who reinspired me on my floral journey and when she died I set up a project called Flowers from Molly that eventually led to the birth of Go tell the bees which has allowed me to combine ne my love of flowers with my passion for supporting others.
After undertaking floristry training and now four years of trading from my at home studio I'm thrilled to be moving into my first commercial premises, sharing space with the amazing Folly and Wild (check them out here). Flowers bring me so much joy, and I'm excited to share that joy with you through Go tell the bees.
TELLING THE BEES
The tradition of "telling the bees" comes from the old English custom of sharing important family news with the household bees, whether it was a birth, wedding, or a passing. This was done because bees were considered part of the family and keeping them informed was believed to keep the hive happy and thriving. At Go Tell the Bee Florist, we embrace this lovely tradition by honoring the role of flowers in all of life's moments, big and small. Just like telling the bees, our floral arrangements are a way to celebrate, commemorate, and connect with the ones we love.
