Moving on in life and making the right choices is never an easy decision for anyone. Ever since I qualified from floristry college 1988, it was always my ambition to set up my own business. Six years ago, this dream become a reality when I opened The Reigate Flower Hut.
After a lot of deliberation, I have decided to retire from flowering, and the Reigate Flower Hut will be closing on the 31st of March 2023.
Setting up The Reigate Flower Hut, working in a purpose-built summerhouse in our back garden and growing the business into a full time, seven day a week job (which is now taking its toll!) has only been possible because of my family and friends who have supported me. Working with flowers has never been a “job” to me, it has been something which I have passionately enjoyed. It has simply been an honour to have been part of the very special occasions, bringing smiles to people on their wedding day, birthdays, anniversaries or just a simple “hello” through the COVID era, when a bouquet was all it took to make someone feel better. Equally, being responsible for funeral arrangements during a very personal stage in people’s lives, has meant more to me than words can describe.
Whilst I look forward to preparing flowers for the weddings which have been pre booked for 2023, I will look back at the time I spent with The Reigate flower Hut and the wonderful people I have met.
It’s now time for the next chapter in my life where I will enjoy spending more time with my lovely family.
Thank you once again to all those who have supported me over the past six years I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you!!
Lots of love
Steph
