Poppys appointed official florist for Royal Visit to Exeter

We were privileged to have been appointed as the preferred Florist to decorate the offices of St. Loyes Foundation in Exeter city centre. Her majesty the Queen is patron of this charitable trust which provides training and employment services for disabled people. Together with the Duke of Edinburgh, her Majesty toured the facilities and unveiled a plaque to mark the event. She was also presented with a very special posy of "Poppys" flowers proudly arranged by our Gemma.

Breaking News!!

We've just been accepted for "The Good Florist Guide", a web based directory of the finest Florists in the U.K..This prestigious accolade is only awarded to florists who really make the grade and allows customers to have an extra level of confidence that they are buying from the best. Each florist shop invited to be in the guide has to pass a rigorous evaluation process before being approved.This meant that Poppys had to submit a detailed description of their floristry business,including range available and services offered as well as images of the shop,their design work,their team and even the delivery vehicle!

But GFG shops aren't just some of the best looking shops, they also offer the very best value when it comes to buying bespoke floristry and flowers because not only are they true craftsmen but have the very best product knowledge to make sure the flowers and plants you buy from them will last for ages...
