My personal Chronological story from 1999 until 2025.
On September 1, 1999, a life long dream became a reality, with the purchase of the Flower Mill. Located next to our Health Clinic.
I was given 3 months to relocate. With very little to choose from, settled with the current property I'm now in. 7220 Pioneer Avenue. There was plenty of work required before I would officially open for business. On the August long weekend was moving day, opening on the Tuesday of 2002. Twenty six years later am very happy that I've been able to service the Upper Fraser Valley with beautiful fresh flowers for any occasions. Being a Florist is a responsibility I take very seriously. Constantly learning new techniques and trends that suit every individual.
Twenty six years are behind me now, as I look forward to making if another year. However will be turning 80 in July, and although my mind is sound, my body isn't. Takes far more effort to do everything. So a little patience is appreciated. It's time to slow down a bit, but still have enough revenue to pay the expenses, which are many.
A bricks and mortar business
needs the support of many. Having my website is invaluable, and have customer from around the world, who have loved ones who live in this amazing Valley. You will be amazed to know that only a modest 20%, of my revenue comes from local Shoppers.
Would love to see this statistic change dramatically in 2026.
As Florists aren't physic, a little
warning is always appreciated.
A quick phone call can expedite
the process, to be sure that you receive exactly what you need.
These are the hands of well seasoned Florist. Is it painful, sometimes yes, but there is the inability to do some things that are require. Bows are impossible. Writing has deteriorated immensely.
However I still love what I do and intend to keep on going.
