Local Florists

Hi all,Can anyone recommend a good florist in Putney? I'm trying to shop independently (i.e. not in the supermarkets) but feel completely ripped off at the one outside East Putney tube. £19 for two bouquets of tulips (9 heads per bouquet).  Don't mind paying more than supermarkets but that seems extortionate. I've tried the one by the train station which is OK but wondering if anywhere else?

I agree with the florists at the entrance of the Putney Exchange.

There's a good one on Upper Richmond Rd just by Parkfields. Don't know the name.

I highly recommend Putney Florists, 291 Upper Richmond Rd (0208785-1118, sales@PutneyFlorist.com) between Balmuir Gardens and Parkfields.  Rashid is a delightful person, the shop is very well stocked and he designs stunning bouquets.

I have used pretty much all the local florists, but none of them compare to the flowers which I ordered earlier in the year from Ginger & Spice, 4 Grand Parade, East Sheen.  It was for a special occasion and I ordered from the photos online.  They surpassed my expectation.  The flowers were beautiful and lasted for ages. I hadn’t visited the shop until today when I thought I would buy some flowers for another occasion.  Behind the very ordinary shop front, I was impressed by the buckets of flowers inside the shop.  I could not resist the inky blue hydrangeas and the florist made an arrangement for me.  It is gorgeous.   Sorry it’s not Putney, but they are a fantastic florist!

If one wants plants, small pot plants, large pot plants, olive trees, lemon trees etc etc. Then Putney hardware on URR is brilliant. Reza is a good bloke, you have to get to know him as sometimes he can seem a bit cheeky but he is happy to barter with prices. He is 50% cheaper than the chap next to Arab Boy pub. Sorry to say that but I cannot see how he is charging 110 quid for an Olive tree when Rezza charges 50 quid!

Hi Nick, lovely to have you back on The Forum.  I have bought plants from the shop on URR and they have very good prices. I love flowers and gardening, if I want to buy flowers for inside my home, I go to the supermarket or a local florist.  However for a special occasion where I need a bouquet or arrangement, then I’m using Ginger & Spice, East Sheen, not Putney.  Talented florist using beautiful flowers.  Just outstanding!

Thanks Martine, hope you're well and good to hear you enjoy it.

I fully endorse this, Nick. We have bought an orange, lemon and olive tree from Reza- all excellent plants, a fraction of the cost of the garden centre.

Hi , we should support the local businesses that are established in Putney .I believe ginger and spice  have a brunch in Putney or they use to  Next to the Arab boy pub , it’s a nice small flower shop and the service is outstanding. Give it a try ( Putney florist is the name I’ve received a leaflet from them about a month ago ) Let support our local businesses .
